METHYLENETETRAHYDROFOLIC ACID, L-(+), an endogenous biomodulator that was developed under the brand name modufolin or arfolitixorin by the Isofol Medical. Arfolitixorin is developed to increase the efficacy of standard of care chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer. This drug is currently being studied in a global phase 3 clinical trial. Besides, the drug successfully completed phase II as rescue therapy for osteosarcoma. 21 May 2019 Isofol Medical has received clinical patent protection for the arfolitixorinin USA. It relates to a method of increasing blood concentration of deoxyuridine, a blood biomarker for inhibition of tumor growth in human cancer treatment.
