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.

Allurion Technologies was founded in 2009 to develop an intragastric balloon for weight loss that can be administered without surgery, endoscopy, or anesthesia. Obesity is a worldwide epidemic, yet only 2% of patients who qualify for bariatric surgery go on to be treated. Several endoscopic weight loss techniques are under development for the overweight and obese population, but they are restricted to the gastroenterologist call point and more expensive due to the costs associated with endoscopy and anesthesia.

Allurion's Elipse intragastric balloon is swallowed and excreted and can be delivered without endoscopy or anesthesia, thereby making it accessible to non-endoscopists and to consumers at a lower price point.

Allurion is currently a clinical-stage company seeking funds for further clinical work and OUS commercialization.
