In other recent news, TransCode Therapeutics has reported progress in its Phase 1 clinical trial for TTX-MC138, a treatment targeting microRNA-10b in metastatic cancers. The Safety Review Committee has approved moving to the third cohort after finding no significant safety issues in the second cohort, where patients received double the dose of the first. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data from the initial cohorts align with earlier preclinical results, showing a 66% inhibition of miR-10b at 24 hours post-infusion. H.C. Wainwright has responded to these developments by significantly raising its price target for TransCode Therapeutics from $3.00 to $20.00, maintaining a Buy rating. The firm noted the early-stage nature of the trial, with only three patients per cohort, and highlighted the absence of dose-limiting toxicities. TransCode’s ongoing trial aims to establish the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of TTX-MC138 in various metastatic solid tumors. The company continues to focus on RNA therapeutics, leveraging its proprietary nanoparticle platform. Further updates on the study are anticipated in 2025.
