Treatment Solution Specific to Metastatic Disease: TTX-MC138
Small, non-coding strands of RNA have been identified as a significant player in the pathology of cancer. One of the first miRNAs shown to have aberrant expression in cancer was miR-10b. Since the inaugural study on miR-10b, its role in cancer has been extensively validated, as a master regulator of tumor cell viability and metastasis in a range of cancers, including breast, pancreatic, ovarian, colon, glioblastomas, and others. Clinical evidence demonstrated in >700 peer-reviewed publications over the last ten years supports the link between miR-10b and metastasis across at least 18 cancer indications as well as other diseases.
TransCode’s lead therapeutic candidate, TTX-MC138, is designed to inhibit microRNA-10b (miR-10b) with the goal of eliminating metastasis. We believe 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 - 18 in total.

A small, non-coding microRNA called miRNA-10b, is shown to be the master regulator of metastasis in a range of solid tumors
Cells in the primary tumor are known to up regulate miRNA-10b which allows metastatic cells to develop, detach and migrate
Metastatic tumor cells are better equipped to safely travel to other parts of the body and develop metastases in organs different from the organ of origin
TransCode's TTX platform delivery system has the potential to treat a variety of tumor indications through effective delivery and targeting
