Theriva Biologics, Inc.
- VCN-12 showed up to 13.7x greater cytotoxicity than VCN-01 across multiple cancer cell lines in vitro.
- In HP-1 pancreatic tumor hamster model, VCN-12 significantly reduced growth in both injected and non-injected tumors.
- Complete tumor regression in 2/9 hamsters; those animals rejected tumor re-challenge 43 days later.
- VCN-12 incorporates bee hyaluronidase (higher activity) and parasporin-2 to enhance immunogenic cell death.
- Toxicity profile in mice similar to VCN-01; further preclinical studies planned.
