Oncopeptides: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Oncopeptides is a clinical stage company backed by HealthCap and Industrifonden that has raised approximately 16.5 MEUR in Early Stage and Series A financing to 2015. Oncopeptides lead compound, named melflufen, is a peptidase potentiated therapy within oncology. Melflufen is a very potent anti-angiogenetic compound, triggers rapid, robust, and irreversible DNA damage and exerts it cytotoxicity through alkylation of DNA. Melflufen is currently undergoing Phase 2 efficacy studies in patients with relapsed and relapsed-refractory multiple myeloma. The peptidase targeting causes melflufen and its metabolites to accumulate in the diseased cells. This results in targeted delivery of the active moieties to the cancer cells, and thereby better treatment of the disease.

About FundedIQ's Oncopeptides 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 Oncopeptides is left off this page rather than filled in.
