Axelar AB is a Swedish biotechnology company that focuses its activities on research related to the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptor inhibitors and their applications in important human diseases, especially cancer.

Axelar’s overall objective is to develop innovative small-molecule compounds that inhibit the IGF-1 receptor for treatment of IGF-1 receptor-dependent diseases where a significant unmet medical need still exists.

Axelar has successfully completed its first Phase I/II clinical study in advanced-stage cancer patients with solid tumors. Axelar is planning to start a randomized Phase II program in patients suffering from non-small cell lung carinoma.
