Starton Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company that is transforming standard-of-care therapies with proprietary dermal technology, so people with cancer can receive continuous treatment to live better, longer. 

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and multiple myeloma (MM) are the most common blood cancers in the United States. There is no treatment to help people with CLL to stay in remission, and while advances in treatment have provided people with MM a multitude of treatment options, they struggle with long-term tolerance of high doses, which may be more effective but come with a multitude of side effects. 

Starton’s team of some of the best in clinical development and hematology/oncology have come together to change the fate for people struggling with the impact of their diseases. If dose-related side effects can be reduced and people can tolerate maintenance therapy for decades to help stay in remission, these cancers – which were previously a death sentence – would become more akin to chronic diseases, with a long lifespan and healthy quality of life. 

Starton is one of the few life sciences companies funded exclusively by individual investors. We have a business model that is lower risk, faster to market and less capital intensive than biotech companies developing medicines from scratch.
