Tachyon Presents TACH101 Data at the 2021 AACR-NCI-EORTC Conference


Tachyon Therapeutics, Inc. ("Tachyon" or "the Company"), a research and development biotechnology company, announces the presentation of data from its TACH101 program in a virtual poster presentation at the AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference On Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics being held virtually from October 7-10, 2021.

Data presented in this abstract and poster are from preclinical studies demonstrating TACH101 target engagement and potency screening to identify molecular biomarkers of response and/or an indication associated with high TACH101 sensitivity. The data showed potent inhibition of gene expression by TACH101 and an increased sensitivity of TACH101 in colorectal cancer, especially those harboring microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) signature.

"Patient selection is critical for the successful development of any drug candidate," stated Frank Perabo, MD, PhD, CEO of Tachyon Therapeutics. "One of the key objectives for our program is to prioritize target indications in which TACH101 is likely to exert most therapeutic benefit. Being able to understand target populations early on generates knowledge that guides clinical trial design, thereby increasing the likelihood of successful transition into clinic."

Highlights from the AACR-NCI-EORTC abstract and poster presentation are summarized below:

Abstract #P086
