Proven Clinical Leadership

Leveraging the best people and science. Working collaboratively to rapidly and energetically drive clinical development to change the lives of cancer patients.

OUR MISSION

Vivace’s goal is to transform breakthrough biology into life-changing medicines for cancer patients

Our lead program, VT3989, is being evaluated as a potential new treatment for people with advanced mesothelioma, where better options are urgently needed.

Building on clinical data from its Phase 2 program, Vivace is preparing to advance VT3989 into a Phase 3 study. Our aim is to deliver a meaningful new treatment option for patients while establishing YAP/TEAD inhibition as a potentially important new approach in cancer care.

Phase 3 ready clinical development across multiple oncology indications and tumor types validates the potential of VT3989

An experienced team advancing the first therapeutic to target the YAP/TEAD Pathway
