TransCode Therapeutics Reports Further Progress on Phase 1a Clinical Trial with No Dose Limiting Toxicities Reported in Patients with Metastatic Cancer

On May 1, 2025 TransCode Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: RNAZ), the RNA oncology company committed to more effectively treating cancer using RNA therapeutics, reported further progress in its Phase 1a clinical trial of TTX-MC138 in patients with metastatic cancer (Press release, TransCode Therapeutics, MAY 1, 2025, View Source [SID1234652459]). TTX-MC138 is a first-in-class therapeutic candidate designed to inhibit microRNA-10b, or miR-10b, a microRNA widely believed to be critical to the emergence and progression of many metastatic cancers. To date, 13 patients have received at least one dose of TTX-MC138 at 4 separate dose levels ranging from 0.8 mg/kg to 4.8 mg/kg. Two patients have been treated in the expanded enrollment.

Eight patients remain on study for continued treatment, receiving an additional dose of TTX-MC138 during each 28 day treatment cycle and may remain on study absent any significant safety observations or disease progression. To date, the two patients who have remained on study the longest have received seven doses of TTX-MC138 over the course of approximately seven months and have demonstrated stable disease. No significant safety or dose limiting toxicities have been reported to date in any of the trial’s 13 patients. Ongoing analyses of PK activity from Cohorts 1, 2 and 3 suggest that TTX-MC138 demonstrates a PK/PD profile consistent with preclinical results and results from TransCode’s Phase 0 clinical trial. Specifically, the preliminary PK data follow a predictable dose-response relationship. Analysis of PD activity from cycle 1 treatments in Cohorts 1 and 2, treated with a dose of 0.8 mg/kg and 1.6 mg/kg respectively, demonstrates miR-10b target engagement at 24 hours post-infusion in 5 out of the 6 patients analyzed to date.

The observed tolerability profile and the available PK/PD results thus far supports advancement of the clinical trial to further evaluate safety and potential anti-tumor activity of TTX-MC138 in the planned dose expansion (Phase 1b) portion of the trial. At the highest dose administered, TTX-MC138 was well tolerated with no significant toxicities noted.

About TTX-MC138

TTX-MC138 is a first-in-class therapeutic candidate designed to inhibit microRNA-10b, or miR-10b, a microRNA widely believed to be critical to the emergence and progression of many metastatic cancers. TransCode’s 2023 Phase 0 clinical trial produced evidence of delivery of a radiolabeled version of TTX-MC138 to metastatic lesions and pharmacodynamic activity, even at a microdose of the drug candidate, suggesting a broad therapeutic window for TTX-MC138.

About the Trial

TransCode’s Phase 1 clinical trial is a multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study designed to generate critical data to support evaluation of the safety and tolerability of TTX-MC138 in patients with a variety of metastatic solid cancers. While not an endpoint, the trial may provide early evidence of clinical activity of TTX-MC138. The trial comprises an initial dose-escalation stage followed by a dose-expansion stage. The primary objective of the dose-escalation stage is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating dose levels of TTX-MC138. In the dose-expansion stage, the safety, tolerability and anti-tumor activity of TTX-MC138 will be further evaluated in certain tumor types selected based on preliminary results from the dose-escalation phase.

About JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3)

NBTXR3 is a novel, potentially first-in-class oncology product composed of functionalized hafnium oxide nanoparticles that is administered via one-time intratumoral injection and activated by radiotherapy. Its proof-of-concept was achieved in soft tissue sarcomas for which the product received a European CE mark in 2019. The product candidate’s physical mechanism of action (MoA) is designed to induce significant tumor cell death in the injected tumor when activated by radiotherapy, subsequently triggering adaptive immune response and long-term anti-cancer memory. Given the physical MoA, Nanobiotix believes that NBTXR3 could be scalable across any solid tumor that can be treated with radiotherapy and across any therapeutic combination, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Radiotherapy-activated NBTXR3 is being evaluated across multiple solid tumor indications as a single agent or in combination with anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitors, including in NANORAY-312—a global, randomized Phase 3 study in locally advanced head and neck squamous cell cancers. In February 2020, the United States Food and Drug Administration granted regulatory Fast Track designation for the investigation of NBTXR3 activated by radiation therapy, with or without cetuximab, for the treatment of patients with locally advanced HNSCC who are not eligible for platinum-based chemotherapy—the same population being evaluated in the Phase 3 study.

Given the Company’s focus areas, and balanced against the scalable potential of NBTXR3, Nanobiotix has engaged in a collaboration strategy to expand development of the product candidate in parallel with its priority development pathways. Pursuant to this strategy, in 2019 Nanobiotix entered into a broad, comprehensive clinical research collaboration with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to sponsor several Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies evaluating NBTXR3 across tumor types and therapeutic combinations. In 2023, Nanobiotix announced a license agreement for the global co-development and commercialization of NBTXR3 with Janssen Pharmaceutica NV, a Johnson & Johnson company.

Starpharma’s Chief Executive Officer, Cheryl Maley, commented:
"It is almost 12 months since we announced our revised strategy. We have made significant progress towards achieving our objectives during this time, and we acknowledge that some outcomes are taking longer than we initially anticipated. The Starpharma team remains intensely focused on delivering on our strategic priorities, and we are committed to achieving the outcomes agreed with the Board in May 2024 with a high sense of urgency. Earlier this month, the Board and Leadership team convened to reflect on Starpharma’s progress and to reaffirm our strategic direction going forward

"Our top priorities this quarter have been to advance existing and potential new partnerships, develop the clinical program for DEP SN38 to get to market in the most time- and commerciallyeffective way and build robust pre-clinical data in our radio program that exemplifies the benefits of our dendrimer technology in radiopharmaceuticals.

"The dual goals of our radio program over the past months have focused on creating valuable preclinical data for the development of further enhanced HER2 assets and compelling data for potential partners interested in the application of the DEP platform to radiopharmaceuticals. This will delay the commencement of our clinical program; however, we are excited about the data generated thus far and the potential opportunities to partner in this area.

"This past quarter, we also launched new promotions for Viraleze in the UK and developed a program to make VivaGel BV available online in Europe in FY26.

"We continue managing costs effectively through clear prioritisation, resource management and implementing cost-saving strategies, whilst focusing on revenue generation opportunities such as partner licensing of the DEP platform and assets and product sales for Viraleze and VivaGel BV. We are also enhancing efficiency in drug development by leveraging outsourcing, automation, and exploring the use of AI.

"Whilst the past few months have been challenging across many sectors, including the Australian Biotech sector, we are confident that our versatile platform drug delivery technology offers multiple opportunities for value generation through partnerships and innovative asset development, which we aim to maximise through our strategic priorities.

"I would like to thank our shareholders for your patience and ongoing support as we work diligently to restore value to Starpharma investors."
