Abstract

Biliary tract cancer (BTC) is an aggressive disease with a poor prognosis. Gemcitabine + cisplatin (GemCis) is the accepted global standard of care; however, key cancer resistance mechanisms associated with the transport, activation and breakdown of gemcitabine are known to limit its clinical activity. NUC-1031 is a phosphoramidate transformation of gemcitabine designed to overcome these key resistance mechanisms and generate much higher levels of the active anti-cancer metabolite, dFdCTP, in cells.
