SynDevRx, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in metabo-oncology, has announced the formation of its Prostate Cancer Medical Advisory Board (PCMAB), comprised of key opinion leaders and industry experts in clinical oncology research and prostate cancer patient care. The board’s overarching goal is to inform the development of SynDevRx’s lead drug candidate, SDX-7320, to target the link between metabolic dysfunction and prostate cancer treatment outcomes.

Metabo-oncology is the emerging area of research and treatment dedicated to addressing systemic metabolic dysfunction and its impacts on tumor formation, disease progression and patient quality of life. Little attention has been paid to addressing the fundamental role that dysregulated glucose homeostasis and its sequelae (insulin resistance) play in tumor progression and aggressiveness.
