the oral mucositis product. GroPep had decided last year to focus our biopharmaceutical development program on our most desirable products PV903 for recurrent miscarriage and PP0102 for psoriasis and other autoimmune diseases. This arrangement will allow continued development of the WGFE technology by a third party." Dr Leanna Read, Managing Director of TGR said "In addition to the oral mucositis project, this new license combined with intellectual property already held by TGR will allow the company to expand its growing commercial product range in the areas of gut and skin health."

What is Oral Mucositis?

Oral mucositis (mouth ulceration and inflammation) is an extremely painful side effect for many patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cancer. For certain cancer treatments almost all patients suffer from this affliction. Mucositis can be so severe that eating, drinking and speech is not possible. Cancer treatment may have to be delayed or suspended completely and infections originating in the mouth can lead to complications or death. An estimated one million people suffer from oral mucositis each year in the United States.

What is WGFE?

Whey Growth Factor Extract (WGFE) is a biologically active milk extract of naturally occurring proteins known to be fundamental to the tissue healing process.
