This is expected to result in targeted activation of innate immunity in the tumor microenvironment. Recent developments in the use of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) such as RIG-I aim to harness the innate power of the immune system for cancer therapy. TransCode believes that understanding how to recruit PRRs, such as RIG-I, in a tumor-selective manner is critical for its adoption in the clinic.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Similar immunotherapeutics of others have been shown to induce complete tumor regressions in animals and have triggered immunity against the tumor. However, those immunotherapeutics are often administered directly into the tumor to avoid the toxicity resulting from activation of an adverse immune response against healthy tissues. This mode of administration has not proven clinically effective due to limited access to the tumor cells, especially in the context of disseminated metastatic cancer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">TransCode seeks to address this challenge by developing a strategy for tumor-selective activation of an immune response specific to cancer cells using systemic administration with its proprietary nanoparticle delivery system, TTX. TransCode anticipates that Immune activation will not be triggered in healthy tissues that do not express the target, but rather will be selectively activated in tumors and metastases that do express the target.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In preclinical studies, TransCode\u2019s delivery of TTX-RIGA inside tumors and metastases generated an RNA-based agonist of the RIG-I gene, targeting activation of innate immunity in the tumor microenvironment in multiple solid tumors, holding promise for the development of a novel class of immunotherapeutics for cancer treatment.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The publication entitled \u201c<em>Template-Directed RIG-I Agonist Assembly for Targeted Cancer<\/em>\u201d was published at BioRxiv (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=eS3wxCROagfw_Tvl5wXwUdLppdef32i26UQkDZEDUlHBEZJ33VQzTW4wEO9Z387yeWSxA8YITxVOSgsB-pUCsr6MPte8HgLFGjoNjlTNnogEK6b9V-rybgo8ngVud8rIjmnsyRUlpGzlKyrNHZnfKPG82kLE2ekBCfTCz0A_nZ7WaoMnCS5k3ElWiCPBF4A1QnLU5h_mUkr3nX2Zw-7T5g==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.biorxiv.org\/content\/10.1101\/2022.12.08.519592v1.full<\/a>). \u201cThe agonist comprises a single stranded RNA oligonucleotide modified with a 5\u2019-triphosphate complementary to an endogenous microRNA enriched in tumor cells. The template-directed strategy we are employing moves us closer to making RIG-I a clinically relevant target in oncology because it achieves targeted activation of innate immunity in the tumor microenvironment in the context of systemic agonist injection,\u201d commented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=fyM_N6sJSnZBXkMkCoc7S9sLuf8724bFd0PcEXBMSGGnaQaMuibTrZGOH2FRXYZCEy8hLBtWZn3d2vR71Ty-GFn_I0sf0EsDTTFA5CfhyKpEr8IMIVpZKlwPsmkC7HGk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Zdravka Medarova, PhD<\/a>, co-founder and CTO of TransCode. \u201cAs with prior studies, we believe the data from this preclinical study further support advancement of TTX-RIGA into animal studies slated to begin in February 2023. The opportunity for systemic, yet tumor-selective activation of innate immunity using the template-directed model could represent an important step towards effective application of RIG-I and other PRR-agonists for cancer therapy in the clinical setting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cWe believe that demonstrating successful preclinical results with TTX-RIGA is an important step in the preclinical development process and further de-risks our pipeline that includes multiple RNA approaches including RNAi, PRR, mRNA vaccines and gene editing with CRISPR, all of which utilize our proprietary delivery platform,\u201d added <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=zcCQzhETZo8H3CWSjHEFOTjp6h4eo6Ne6D3M-nn-yZa0FMIijbOuqfjdkD8hZqSXAdj9HNbfO5S2E7uEj_JqC--nhBzRYdGatf4E7q4eEsY75UM6KN4Lfq149PnSrX-d\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Michael Dudley<\/a>, co-founder, president and CEO of TransCode.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Dudley added, \u201cAdditionally, as we have previously indicated, we received written authorization from FDA allowing us to proceed with our Phase 0 first-in-human (FIH) clinical trial with our lead candidate, TTX-MC138, in cancer patients with advanced solid tumors. We intend to proceed with patient enrollment as soon as possible.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 TTX-MC138 targets microRNA-10b, believed to drive metastatic disease. TTX-MC138 has been validated preclinically in multiple cancer models including metastatic breast cancer and pancreatic cancer and has previously been shown to induce durable regression of metastatic disease in murine models of disseminated breast cancer and pancreatic cancer.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About TransCode Therapeutics<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">TransCode is an RNA oncology company created on the belief that cancer can be effectively treated using RNA therapeutics. The Company has created a platform of drug candidates designed to target a variety of tumor types with the objective of significantly improving patient outcomes. The Company\u2019s lead therapeutic candidate, TTX-MC138, is focused on treating metastatic cancer, which is believed to cause approximately 90% of all cancer deaths totaling over nine million per year worldwide. The Company believes that TTX-MC138 has the potential to produce regression without recurrence in a range of cancers, including breast, pancreatic, ovarian and colon cancer, glioblastomas and others. Two of the Company\u2019s other drug candidates, TTX-siPDL1 and TTX-siLIN28B, focus on treating tumors by targeting PD-L1 and LIN28B, respectively. TransCode also has three cancer-agnostic programs: TTX-RIGA, an RNA\u2013based agonist of the retinoic acid-inducible gene I, or RIG-I, designed to drive an immune response in the tumor microenvironment; TTX-CRISPR, a CRISPR\/Cas9\u2013based therapy platform for the repair or elimination of cancer-causing genes inside tumor cells; and TTX-mRNA, an mRNA-based platform for the development of cancer vaccines designed to activate cytotoxic immune responses against tumor cells.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Forward-Looking Statements<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>This release contains \u201cforward-looking statements\u201d within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, statements concerning the results of a preclinical study of TTX-RIGA in melanoma and other tumor types, statements concerning expected clinical results of TransCode\u2019s therapeutic candidates, statements concerning the results of RNA research, statements concerning the potential for treating cancer with RNA therapeutics, statements concerning the timing and outcome of expected regulatory filings and clinical trials, including the planned first-in-human study of TTX-MC138, statements concerning the timing and outcome of this study, including whether this study will demonstrate proof-of-mechanism, and statements concerning TransCode\u2019s development programs and TTX technology platform generally.
