      Carrick licenses targeted ovarian cancer drug from BTG

      Dublin, Ireland-based biopharma Carrick Therapeutics has licensed exclusive globl rights to develop and commercialise BTG’s targeted ovarian cancer drug BTG945.
      The investigational drug, a combination of the targeting folate receptor α (FRα) and inhibiting thymidylate synthase, will now be referred to as CT900.
