- OncoVista Innovative Therapies, Inc. (OVIT) is a biopharmaceutical company that develops targeted anticancer therapies utilizing tumor-associated biomarkers. Founded in 2004 and headquartered at 14785 Omicron Drive, Suite 104, San Antonio, Texas, the company focuses on oncology drug candidates including Cordycepin (OVI-123), in Phase I/II clinical trials for refractory TdT-positive leukemias; L-Nucleoside Conjugates (OVI-117), under preclinical development as a thymidylate synthase inhibitor for colon cancer and other solid tumors such as breast, gastric, and prostate; and OSI-7904L, a discontinued candidate previously advanced for biliary tract neoplasms. It operates in the biotechnology segment of the healthcare industry, primarily targeting patients with metastatic and refractory cancers through biomarker-driven approaches that aim to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity, with activities centered in the United States. The company maintains a small team of two employees led by CEO Alexander Weis and trades on OTC Markets under the ticker OVIT. No major recent partnerships, funding rounds, acquisitions, new product launches, or strategic shifts have been reported in the last one to two years, with development efforts appearing dormant following historical activities such as the 2012 FDA IND approval for OVI-117 and earlier financings.
