About Tyme

Tyme is a pharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing highly targeted cancer therapeutics for a broad range of oncology indications. Tyme is the originator of what it believes to be a novel, proprietary treatment regimen consisting of a rationally-designed combination of therapeutic agents aimed at exploiting the aberrant metabolic characteristics of cancer cells as well as activating the endogenous immune response against tumors. Tyme's approach is hypothesized to permit selective elimination of cancer cells, while simultaneously improving patients' well-being, particularly with respect to pain severity and functional independence.

Tyme is currently developing for use in humans SM-88, a proprietary compound, which the company believes to be a first-in-class drug that harnesses the body's own immune defenses to fight tumor cells. SM-88 is a novel combination drug that synergistically target the unique metabolic features of cancer cells, thus providing a selective method of altering the susceptibility of cancer cells to oxidative stress. Tyme has completed a proof-of-concept clinical study for SM-88 in late-stage cancer patients with relapsed or highly refractory disease and is working towards submitting an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, with the goal of beginning a randomized clinical trial in multiple U.S. centers in the near future. Tyme anticipates an IND submission to the FDA in mid-2015.
