Telik, Inc. of Palo Alto, CA, is a biopharmaceutical company focused ondiscovering, developing and commercializing novel small molecule drugs totreat serious diseases. The company's most advanced investigational drugcandidates in clinical development are TELINTRA, a modified glutathione analogfor the treatment of cytopenias due to myelodysplastic syndrome orchemotherapy, and TELCYTA(R), a tumor-activated prodrug for the treatment ofadvanced ovarian cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Telik's productcandidates were discovered using its proprietary drug discovery technology,TRAP, which enables the rapid and efficient discovery of small molecule drugcandidates.
