Company Profile

Rakuten Aspyrian, Inc., is a privately funded, clinical stage Biotechnology company with offices in the USA, Japan and Germany.

Our long-term objective is to commercialize a number of therapies based on Photoimmunotherapy to treat a broad range of solid tumor types as single agent and in combination with other immunomodulatory agents to generate robust and long lasting anticancer immunological responses.

Rakuten Aspyrian is currently sponsoring a global Phase 3 multicenter clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ASP-1929 in patients with recurrent Head and Neck Cancer and additional Phase 2 studies to evaluate the safety and efficacy in patients with other cancer types.

Given the rapid progression of the clinical studies, we are quickly expanding the team to support late stage pivotal clinical development and future commercialization of our products.
