Tachyon Receives Funding from CIRM for a Ph 1 Clinical Study of TACH101 in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors
“Therapy resistance and metastatic dissemination are the main challenges in developing effective cancer treatments. Cancer stem cells and tumor-initiating cells play a significant role in this, and until now, have only been poorly characterized. We have completed extensive preclinical studies to support the clinical advancement of TACH101, and we have shown its ability to reduce the population of tumorigenic cells and potently shrink tumors in cancer models,” said Frank Perabo, M.D., Ph.D., CEO of Tachyon Therapeutics. “We are pleased to receive the support of CIRM to advance the first KDM4 inhibitor to enter clinical development.”
