ESSA is a drug organization zeroed in on the improvement of little particle drugs for the therapy of malignant growth, with an emphasis on cutting edge prostate disease. ESSA is creating drugs that specifically block the N-terminal space of the androgen receptor (AR). The AR is expected for the development and endurance of most prostate malignant growth; hence, the AR N-terminal space is an optimal objective for cutting edge chemical treatment.

About FundedIQ's ESSA Pharma Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for ESSA Pharma is left off this page rather than filled in.
