Theralase® to Present Groundbreaking Research at ASTRO 2025
Theralase®’s Rutherrin® is 100x more effective than radiation alone in preclinical cancer models, showing tumor targeting, immune activation, and improved survival; Phase I/II clinical trials start early 2026 targeting multiple cancers.
Theralase® Provides Corporate Update
Theralase advances Ruvidar® trials for bladder and other cancers, targeting NDA submissions by 2026, launching multiple Phase I/II studies, seeking US listing, and pursuing international partnerships for commercialization and research collaboration.
Theralase® Clinical Data Presented at Canadian Bladder Cancer Forum and American Urological Association
Theralase® presented interim Phase II data showing Ruvidar™’s strong safety and efficacy in treating BCG-unresponsive bladder cancer, with durable complete responses, no serious drug-related adverse events, and potential for regulatory approval in 2026.
Theralase® Discovers New Mechanism of Action of Lead Drug
Theralase® announces Ruvidar™ inhibits Deubiquitinating Enzymes (DUBs), a key factor in cancer and drug resistance. This dual action—blocking DUBs and inducing oxidative stress—makes Ruvidar™ a promising cancer therapy candidate.

Theralase® closes $419,124 private placement financing by issuing 1,995,829 units at CAD 0.21 each, with warrants exercisable at CAD 0.32 for 5 years. Funds will support Phase II bladder cancer trials, HSV treatment R&D, Rutherrin® development for solid tumors, and corporate purposes.
Ruvidar More Effective in the Treatment of Herpes than FDA-Approved Treatments
Ruvidar™ (1%) showed superior efficacy in healing HSV-1 lesions in mice versus FDA-approved Acyclovir (5%) and Abreva (10%). Ruvidar™ requires fewer applications and works via novel electrostatic repulsion mechanisms blocking viral binding.
Ruvidar Demonstrates 7 Year Complete Response
A BCG-unresponsive bladder cancer patient achieved a 7-year complete response after one Ruvidar™ treatment activated by light. Theralase® plans regulatory submissions and expanded clinical trials in 2025–2026 for hard-to-treat cancers and infections.
Ruvidar Effective in the Treatment of Herpes
Ruvidar™ showed superior efficacy over Acyclovir and Abreva in treating HSV-1 in a mouse model. Theralase® plans topical formulation, toxicology, and Phase I/II trials pending funding in 2025.
