Overview

01

TASO (TGF-β2 Targeting ASO)

  • TGF-β2 targeting ASO anti-cancer new drug used in combination with IL-2 (Interleukin-2)

02

Science & Innovation Features

  • 18-mer phosphorothioate Anti-sense Oligonucleotide targeting human TGF-β2
  • Designed based on the correlation between TGF-β overexpression and tumor progression
  • Bind complementary to mRNA to inhibit TGF-β expression
  • Validated for efficacy and safety through phase 2 clinical trial

Mechanism of Action

TASO

Weakening defensive mechanism of cancer cell by suppressing TGF-β2

IL-2

Strengthen T cell’s functions to attack cancer cell

Maintaining the efficacy while reducing IL-2 dosage

In-vivo Efficacy Study

Suppression of tumor growth and increase of CD8 T cells in cancer tissue through inhibition of TGF-β2 in pancreatic cancer model
