Material Changes and Scientific Developments
- Event: The Company presented data via a poster and an oral presentation at the AACR 2025 Annual Meeting on April 28, 2025.
- Study Findings: The oral presentation, titled "TFF2-mediated CXCR4 partial agonism outperforms CXCR4 antagonism in reducing murine gastric cancer by suppressing PMN-MDSC generation," demonstrated that a fusion protein of murine trefoil factor family member 2-murine serum albumin (mTFF2-MSA) combined with an anti-PD1 antibody activated cancer-killing CD8+ T Cells.
- Mechanism: The data indicated the treatment limited immune evasion by tumor cells and showed promise in reducing immunosuppression within the tumor microenvironment in animal models.
- Product Candidate: The findings relate to TNX-1700, a human TFF2-human serum albumin (hTFF2-HAS) fusion protein currently in preclinical development for gastric and colorectal cancers.
