In 2011, Xspray realigned its business model from conducting contract research and development for other pharmaceutical companies to focusing on developing proprietary drugs based on its RightSize technology. Xspray is now a pharmaceutical company focused on developing improved and generic versions of already marketed drugs, mainly protein kinase inhibitors for targeted cancer treatment, and aims to be world leader in this field.
