Viventia is developing and advancing the next generation of human antibody-based therapeutics for use in oncology. Our approach combines the specificity of an antibody with the potency of a cytotoxic payload to provide targeted therapies for the safer and more efficacious treatment of cancer patients. Viventia has developed a potent payload, deBouganin, that when coupled to a targeting antibody can effectively kill cancer cells without harming normal cells. This differential targeting enhances the therapeutic potential of our drugs and provides prolonged clinical benefit. The versatile deBouganin payload has been chemically conjugated to full length antibodies as well as fused to numerous antibody fragments and has been found to be safe and efficacious in the clinic.

Medical ultrasonography (sonography) is an ultrasound-based diagnostic imaging technique used to visualize muscles and internal organs, their size, structures and possible pathologies or lesions. Obstetric sonography is commonly used during pregnancy and is widely recognized by the public. There are a plethora of diagnostic and therapeutic applications practiced in medicine. In physics the term 'ultrasound' applies to all acoustic energy with a frequency above human hearing (20,000 hertz or 20 kilohertz). Typical diagnostic sonographic scanners operate in the frequency range of 2 to 18 megahertz, hundreds of times greater than this limit. The choice of frequency is a trade-off between spatial resolution of the image and imaging depth: lower frequencies produce less resolution but image deeper into the body.
