Sprint Bioscience is an agile and innovative company that develops pharmaceuticals in the areas of cancer. Since our inception in 2009 we have built a body of solid expertise and achieved a world leading position, thanks to our dedicated and skilled employees and our effective methodology. OUR BUSINESS CONCEPT

Our strategy is to work with a broad portfolio of projects which we quickly develop in

the preclinical stage, until we have identified a drug candidate that is ready for clinical trials. We enter into commercial partnerships with pharmaceutical companies at an early phase. Our partner then drives the project forward through the clinical phases and onto the market. We occupy modern laboratories at Novum in Huddinge with access to all the equipment required to pursue advanced drug development.

Today at AACR 2026 by American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) we are presenting data from our DCPS program, supporting DCPS inhibition as a promising therapeutic strategy for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The findings go beyond efficacy, providing deeper biological insight into DCPS and highlighting its potential role in improving patient stratification. Sprint Bioscience is represented by CSO Martin Andersson and Associate Principal Scientist Madhurendra Singh. Come by and discuss the data with us!

At a time when the global cancer burden continues to rise, scientific progress cannot afford silos, slowdowns, or hesitation. Breakthroughs happen when knowledge is shared, challenged, and accelerated. That is why Sprint Bioscience is proud to participate in the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026, the world’s largest and most influential cancer research convening.

Ahead of the main meeting, our CSO and co‑founder Martin Andersson participated in the AACR Oncology Industry Partnering Event (April 16–17), engaging with leaders across biotech and pharma. These discussions are where science meets strategy and where discoveries begin their journey toward patients.

The Annual Meeting (April 17–22) is currently underway, where Madhurendra Singh will present new preclinical data from our DCPS program. The poster highlights findings supporting DCPS inhibition as a potential therapeutic strategy for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Beyond efficacy, the data deepens the biological understanding of DCPS and underscore its potential to improve patient stratification.

Events like AACR matter because no single lab, company, or discipline can solve cancer alone. In times of scientific complexity, geopolitical uncertainty, and mounting healthcare pressure, platforms for exchange and collaboration are not optional, they are essential.
Cancer does not wait. Neither can drug discovery.

Sprint Bioscience are pleased to announce that groundbreaking findings from our DCPS program have once again been published, this time in the scientific journal Discover Oncology from Springer Nature. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12672-026-04880-x

“The new findings provide strong support for DCPS inhibition and clearly show how FHIT and IDH2 can be used to identify the patients who stand to benefit the most from DCPS-targeted treatment,” said Martin Andersson, Chief Scientific Officer at Sprint Bioscience.

The article is a collaboration between Sprint Bioscience AB (publ), NeoTargets AB, and research groups led by Dr. Julian Walfridsson and Magnus Tobiasson at Karolinska Institutet. It has been partially funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research Stiftelsen för strategisk forskning, SSF through an industrial PhD fellowship.

We are proud to share that our teams continue to deliver important scientific progress across our portfolio. Following the recently presented in vivo data from our glioblastoma program, we are now preparing to unveil new preclinical results in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) at the AACR Annual Meeting in April.
To discuss these advancements, our Chief Scientific Officer Martin Andersson joined the BioStock - Connecting Innovation & Capital studio for an interview.

Sprint Bioscience today announces positive results from a pre-clinical proof-of-concept (POC) study performed within our VRK1 program. The results show that VRK1 inhibition selectively kills glioblastoma cells with low VRK2 levels, while cells with normal VRK2 levels are not affected. This confirms the tumor‑specific mechanism of the program and demonstrates that VRK1 is a relevant target for the treatment of VRK2‑low glioblastoma.

“We are thrilled to report a positive outcome from this POC study. These results provide pharmacological validation of VRK1 as a relevant target in glioblastoma. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of anti-tumor effects from selective VRK1 inhibition in vivo. We look forward to presenting these results at upcoming partnering conferences,” said Martin Andersson, Chief Scientific Officer at Sprint Bioscience.

At Sprint Bioscience, we are proud to attend, through our CEO Johan Emilsson, Cancerfonden’s 75th Anniversary Gala, an evening that honors the type of research that forms the foundation of tomorrow’s medicines. 💜

As a research‑driven company, our work is built in part on the fundamental research and discoveries that, among other things, are made possible by Cancerfonden. Since 1951, the foundation has contributed SEK 17 billion to Swedish cancer research. Thanks to long‑term commitments and the relentless efforts of scientists, seven out of ten people diagnosed with cancer survive today, compared with three out of ten when Cancerfonden was founded. These advances are the result of researchers who never give up, and without their tireless work, our company would not exist.

We are grateful for the invitation and for the opportunity to share the evening with those who push fundamental research forward, every single day.
