Business Highlights
- Company Overview: Transcode Therapeutics, Inc. is focused on developing and commercializing innovative drugs for treating and identifying cancer, with a primary focus on oncology. The company is advancing its lead therapeutic candidate, TTX-MC138, which targets microRNA-10b, believed to be a master regulator of metastatic cell viability in various cancers.
- Clinical Trials and Developments: The company received FDA approval to conduct a Phase I/II clinical trial with TTX-MC138, expected to commence in mid-2024. This follows a Phase 0 trial designed to demonstrate delivery of TTX-MC138 to metastatic lesions in subjects with advanced solid tumors.
- Product Pipeline: In addition to TTX-MC138, TransCode is developing other solid tumor programs, including TTX-siPDL1, an siRNA-based modulator of programmed death-ligand 1, and TTX-RIGA, an RNA-based agonist targeting activation of innate immunity in the tumor microenvironment.
- TTX Delivery System: The company's proprietary TTX delivery platform is designed to overcome challenges in delivering RNA therapeutics to tumors and metastases, potentially unlocking therapeutic access to previously undruggable targets.
- SBIR Award: TransCode received a Fast-Track Small Business Innovation Research award from the National Cancer Institute, providing up to $2.39 million to fund research in partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital. The program aims to optimize methods for measuring miR-10b expression and support clinical trials with TTX-MC138.
- Recent Developments: Data from the Phase 0 trial showed successful delivery of TTX-MC138 to metastatic lesions, with significant inhibition of miRNA-10b in the patient's blood post-dosing. This supports further clinical development of the candidate.
- Future Outlook: The company plans to continue development of its lead therapeutic candidate and explore strategic partnerships. Management believes current cash is sufficient to fund operations into late 2024 but will require additional capital for continued operations.
