Overview
Sonus Pharmaceuticals was a biotechnology company focused on developing improved cancer therapies using its proprietary TOCOSOL drug delivery platform. Its lead product candidates included TOCOSOL Paclitaxel and TOCOSOL Camptothecin for various solid tumors. The company also explored cardiovascular and critical care indications but later narrowed focus to oncology. In clinical trials, the main asset reached Phase 2 before the company merged with OncoGenex Technologies in a strategic move to advance cancer therapeutics targeting treatment resistance. After the merger in early 2008, operations continued under OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals.
