TransCode Therapeutics Announced FDA Authorization to Proceed with First-In-Human Clinical Trial

TransCode Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:RNAZ), the RNA Oncology Company™ committed to more effectively treating cancer using RNA therapeutics, announced today that it has received written authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that it may proceed with its First-in-Human (FIH) Phase 0 clinical trial. The planned clinical trial is to evaluate TransCode’s lead therapeutic candidate, TTX-MC138, in up to 12 cancer patients with advanced solid tumors. ​TTX-MC138 is designed to inhibit the pro-metastatic RNA, microRNA-10b, described as the master regulator of metastasis in a number of advanced solid tumors. TransCode believes that TTX-MC138 could be used as a treatment for many of these cancers.
