Highlights:

  1. Phio Pharmaceuticals Corp. has unveiled data from its proprietary INTASYL platform, which effectively silences mRNA to enhance immune responses against cancer.
  2. Key INTASYL compounds include PH-762, PH-894, PH-804, and PH-905, each targeting different pathways to improve therapeutic efficacy and immune cell activity.
  3. The data will be presented at the 20th Annual Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society (OTS) Meeting in Montreal on October 8th.

Phio Pharmaceuticals Corp. {NASDAQ:PHIO} has announced significant advancements in its proprietary INTASYL platform, which showcases a novel approach to silencing mRNA both intracellularly and extracellularly. This innovative technology enhances immune responses against cancer and is applicable in various therapeutic settings, including intratumoral injections and immune cell expansion for adoptive cell therapy. Notably, the INTASYL platform requires no specialized formulations for small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery, streamlining its use in clinical applications.

Among the key compounds developed under the INTASYL platform are:

  • PH-762: This compound targets PD-1, a checkpoint inhibitor, and has been shown to improve therapeutic efficacy in vivo, potentially increasing the effectiveness of cancer treatments.

  • PH-894: This compound silences BRD4, which enhances tumor cell immunogenicity and induces apoptosis, thereby promoting the body’s immune response against tumors.

  • PH-804: Designed to silence TIGIT in natural killer (NK) cells, PH-804 enhances cell activation, cytokine release, and target cell killing, further empowering the immune system's ability to fight cancer.

  • PH-905: This compound silences CBLB, which increases NK cell cytotoxicity and proliferation, contributing to a more robust immune attack on tumor cells.

Phio Pharmaceuticals plans to present this groundbreaking data at the upcoming 20th Annual Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society (OTS) Meeting in Montreal on October 8th, highlighting the potential of the INTASYL platform to revolutionize cancer immunotherapy and improve patient outcomes.
