About

About CNcure Co., Ltd. CNCure is a pioneering biotech startup dedicated to revolutionizing cancer therapy and diagnostics. We specialize in developing bacteria-based cancer immunotherapeutics and theranostic platforms leveraging microbial theapeutics and nuclear medicine. One of our core technologies is the Salmonella-based Armed Microbe (SAM) platform, which utilizes innovative approaches to target tumors and enhance anticancer immune responses. Our flagship products, CNC-101 and CNC-105, directly target tumors, induce immune responses, and establish long-term antitumor immunological memory to prevent recurrence. In addition, CNCure is advancing diagnostic technologies with radiotracer-based tools for the high-sensitivity detection of fatal diseases such as fungal infections. Our [18F]FDS and [18F]DMPY2 tracers enable high-resolution visualization of gram-negative bacterial and fungal infections and malignant melanoma, respectively. CNCure is dedicated to pioneering innovations in cancer treatment, striving to improve patient outcomes and quality of life on a global scale. By actively participating in numerous national and international R&D projects, we continue to drive groundbreaking research and development. Our extensive patent portfolio is a testament to our technological excellence and commitment to shaping the future of oncology. Founded in 2019 by leading experts in cancer immunotherapy and radiopharmaceuticals, CNCure has developed a robust scientific foundation, a cutting-edge technology platform, and a strong pipeline. In the second half of 2024, we were honored to be one of only 14 companies, out of over 100 applicants, selected for Johnson & Johnson’s JLABS Korea program, which aims to accelerate life-science innovation. As we advance the clinical development and commercialization of our theranostic candidates, we actively seek joint-development partnerships and investments to expand our global presence. Our vision is to revolutionize cancer treatment through groundbreaking bacteria-based immunotherapies and radiopharmaceuticals that address critical unmet medical needs. CNCure Co., Ltd. is a pioneering biotechnology company based in Hwasun, Republic of Korea, dedicated to revolutionizing cancer therapy and diagnostics. Founded in 2019, CNCure specializes in bacteria‑based cancer immunotherapeutics and integrated theranostic platforms leveraging microbial and nuclear medicine. The company’s lead candidate, CNC‑101, is a next‑generation bacterial immunotherapy built on attenuated Salmonella typhimurium technology, designed to selectively colonize the tumor microenvironment and reprogram it into an immuno‑active state that enhances anti‑tumor immune responses. Preclinical data demonstrate promising efficacy and safety profiles across multiple solid tumor models. Beyond immuno‑oncology, CNCure is advancing radiopharmaceutical and theranostic platforms that combine imaging and therapy for improved tumor targeting, treatment monitoring, and personalized decision‑making. CNCure actively pursues global partnerships and business development to translate its innovative platforms into clinical applications that address unmet medical needs. CNCure continues to present its scientific and clinical progress at major international conferences.
