FDA Clears IND Application for Novel SIGLEC 10 Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor ONC-841 for Solid Tumors
“SIGLEC 10 is an immune checkpoint that inhibits the activation of both innate and adaptive immune cells. In cancer, this can lead to reduced anti-tumor immunity within the tumor microenvironment (“TME”), creating a protected setting for cancer cells to thrive,” said Yang Liu, PhD, Co-Founder, CEO and CSO of OncoC4. “ONC-841 is designed to block this immune checkpoint to rejuvenate immune cell activity for tumor destruction within the TME. We are excited to begin clinical development of ONC-841 in advanced solid tumors.”
