Holding true to the statement of our purpose - through creativity, necessity, and passion, North Coast has begun the application of BLAST for compassionate use and treatment of tumors in patients where there is no hope left.
“The biggest obstacle to a true war against cancer, Watson wrote, may be the inherently conservative nature of today’s cancer research establishments. As long as that’s so, curing cancer will always be 10 or 20 years away” - James D. Watson
North Coast was founded to be the opposite of the establishment and to be bold. Given our in depth knowledge of BLAST and it’s versatility, the time has come for it’s use in personalized medicine. While we are also trying to find the most broadly efficacious antibody therapeutic for a particular cancer, we will simultaneously create personalized therapeutic antibody treatments for the vast majority who are refractory to the sub-optimal, toxic, currently approved drugs available today. We are doing this because the technology is here, our goals have nothing to do with creating a massive exit for our investors, and we are morally obligated to do so.
