Sirnaomics Ltd. is advancing lead siRNA candidate STP-705 for the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma in situ into late-stage clinical testing after sharing encouraging phase II trial results with the U.S. FDA in an end-of-phase II meeting. The company plans to move forward in 2023 with a single-dose study as a subgroup of subjects in a large phase III study. Positive results will provide the basis for completion of this large registrational phase III trial.
Sirnaomics Ltd. is gearing up to start either an expanded phase IIb or a phase III clinical trial for its lead siRNA candidate, STP-705, for the treatment of two non-melanoma skin cancers: squamous cell carcinoma in situ and basal cell carcinoma.
Sirnaomics Ltd. is gearing up to start either an expanded phase IIb or a phase III clinical trial for its lead siRNA candidate, STP-705, for the treatment of two non-melanoma skin cancers: squamous cell carcinoma in situ and basal cell carcinoma. STP-705 comprises two siRNA oligonucleotides that inhibit transforming growth factor beta 1 and cyclooxygenase-2 gene expressions and is delivered via injection using what the company describes as a polypeptide nanoparticle-enhanced delivery mechanism.
Sirnaomics Ltd. went five for five in its study of treating cutaneous basal cell carcinoma. Five of five patients in a cohort of the open-label, dose-escalation phase II study of STP-705, composed of two sIRNA oligonucleotides targeting transforming growth factor beta 1 and cyclooxygenase-2, had a 100% complete response.
Just five days after raising $105 million in a series E financing round, RNA interference therapeutics specialist Sirnaomics Inc. obtained another IND approval from the FDA for its dual-targeting small interfering RNA (siRNA) inhibitor STP-707 to start a basket study in oncology. Sirnaomics’ CEO Patrick Lu told BioWorld in an exclusive interview that an I.V. administration of STP-707 will be tested to tackle solid cancers that may have metastasized into other potential areas or tissue types in the body.
RNAi therapeutics specialist Sirnaomics Inc. has wrapped up a $105 million series D financing that will support ongoing clinical development of its cancer and fibrotic disease programs plus work on early stage programs targeting metabolic disease and viral infections. But with both new and existing investors jumping in, the company is also preparing for something bigger: its next phase of growth, including a near-term IPO.
