Executive Summary
It sometimes happens that a medicine developed for one purpose is discovered to work wonderfully well in other, initially unanticipated indications.

The start-up company is developing a molecule first pursued at Ohio State University as a long-acting contraceptive some 30 years ago, now as a cancer vaccine meant to treat solid tumors.
