Adjuvant Therapeutics Inc. is a clinical stage medical device company that is developing a system to improve the effectiveness of radiotherapy for cancer treatment. The system, called OncO2™, uses innovative technology to increase oxygen concentrations in tumours, making them more sensitive to radiation.

Poor tumour oxygen has long been known to make radiation less effective, particularly in cancers of the head and neck, where 5 year survival rates range from 17% to about 63%. The OncO2™ system allows for individual optimization of therapy to maximize the effectiveness of the radiation.

Adjuvant Therapeutics will initially focus on head and neck cancers, however the OncO2™ system can also address other types of resistant cancers such as those of the cervix and bladder.
