IND application submitted to the U.S. FDA for UTRxM1-18 for targeting c-MYC driven cancers
“This IND submission is a seismic leap forward and offers patients an option where there are none,” said Dr. Awah. “Our technology’s unique ability to therapeutically degrade mRNA transcripts redefines what’s possible in biotech. We’re not just innovating—we’re rewriting the future of cancer and disease,” said Dr David T Asuzu MD, PhD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer (Adult Cancers), UTRx Inc. “The validation data supports the technological abilities of engineering mRNA stability elements on the 3’UTR of oncogenes for therapeutic use,” said Dr. Kevin Struhl PhD, co-inventor of the technology and advisor to UTRx Inc, and Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at Harvard University.
