TCRT vs NDRA Comparison

Alaunos Therapeutics Inc is a preclinical stage obesity and metabolic health drug development company that is aiming to develop a small molecule-based drug to treat obesity and other metabolic disorders that have a differentiated profile relative to currently marketed and in development oral and injectable products. The company focuses on evaluating the impact of ALN1001, its primary program, and its derivatives on lipid deposition and gene expression. It aims to develop an oral obesity compound that addresses many of the shortcomings of injectable GLP-1 receptor agonists including preserving lean muscle mass.

ENDRA Life Sciences Inc is engaged in the development of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS) to visualize tissue like MRI at the cost and at the point of patient care. TAEUS is designed to work in concert with around 400,000 cart-based ultrasound systems in use globally today. TAEUS is initially focused on the measurement of fat in the liver as a means to assess and monitor Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), chronic liver conditions that affect over one billion people globally, and for which there are no practical diagnostic tools. Beyond the liver, the firm is exploring several other clinical applications of TAEUS, including visualization of tissue temperature during energy-based surgical procedures.
