It is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies for rare forms of cancer and orphan diseases. ERYTECH’s initial focus is on the development of products that target the amino acid metabolism of cancer, depriving them of nutrients necessary for their survival. It now trades on The Nasdaq Global Select Market and Euronext Paris as “ERYP.”
