Amplia Therapeutics Ltd. is a medical biotechnology company, which engages in the development of drugs for potential use in multiple indications including oncology and chronic fibrosis. The company is headquartered in Melbourne, Victoria. The company went IPO on 2013-12-23. The firm is focused on developing proprietary, orally available, small molecule Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) inhibitors as candidate drugs for the treatment of cancer and various fibrotic diseases. Its pipeline includes narmafotinib (AMP945) and AMP886. Its lead drug candidate, narmafotinib, is a selective and potent inhibitor of FAK and is currently in a phase 2 clinical trial for pancreatic cancer, in clinical development for ovarian cancer, and advanced preclinical development for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The Company’s second pipeline drug, AMP886, inhibits FAK and inhibits two key disease drug targets (VEGFR3 and FLT3). This drug is being evaluated in preclinical models of cancer. Its cancer Program is directed at using its FAK inhibitors to block FAK activity in the cancer cells and the surrounding tissue.
