HEAL THE WORLD
A New Light in Cancer Care
Healing Without Harm.
For too long, the journey through cancer treatment has been defined by a difficult compromise: accepting harsh, often debilitating side effects such as hair loss, perpetual fatigue and constant pain in the pursuit of a cure. Patients have been asked to endure not just the disease, but the trauma brought on by it’s treatment.
At Quercis, we believe there is a better way. Our lead therapy is engineered to precisely target a life-threatening complication of cancer without causing systemic harm, resolving the historic conflict between a drug's power and a patient's quality of life. We are trying to create a future where healing is a restorative process, not a destructive one.
Increased mortality for cancer patients who develop a VTE.
2nd
Leading cause of death in many cancers, after the cancer itself.
Of all cancer-related deaths are attributable to VTE.
The Unseen Risk in Cancer Care
For patients fighting cancer, the battle is often compounded by a silent but deadly threat: venous thromboembolism (VTE), or blood clots.
OUR SCIENCE
Data-Driven Solutions, Designed for Life.
Our innovation begins with the elegant wisdom of nature. The flavonoid at the heart of our platform is a highly purified, naturally derived compound, providing a powerful and proven foundation for our science. But our work doesn't stop there. Through rigorous pharmacology and data-driven development, we transform this natural potential into precision-engineered medicine, creating therapies that are both intelligent and human.
KINISOQUIN™
Precision, Protection, and Peace of Mind.
Our lead candidate, Kinisoquin™, represents a new orbit of therapy. It is a novel, proprietary formulation designed to inhibit Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDI), a key enzyme that initiates the dangerous cascade of thrombo-inflammation.
Unlike traditional anticoagulants, its action is precise and localized. It selectively blocks PDI release from endothelial cells and platelets, preventing clots from forming without systemically altering the body's essential coagulation functions. This targeted approach is the key to its exceptional safety profile.
"Developing an effective and safe antithrombotic agent would greatly improve adoption of primary prevention strategies in the cancer community. The primary concern with currently available anticoagulants is the increased risk of hemorrhage."

OUR MISSION
Broad Applications, One Healing Goal.
Our journey begins with one of the most urgent needs in oncology: preventing life-threatening thrombosis in cancer patients. But the potential of our platform is far greater. We have seen anti-neoplastic effects that could treat the tumors and we hope this can be confirmed in ongoing Clinical Trials in humans. With promising applications in Sickle Cell Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and other complex conditions, we are pursuing a broad pipeline guided by a singular mission: to bring our transformative science to every patient we can possibly help.
