Altamira’s two flagship programs, AM-401 and AM-411, designed for KRAS-driven cancer and rheumatoid arthritis, serve to demonstrate the technology’s capability to enhance therapeutic efficacy
Covadonga Pañeda, Ph.D., the Company's Chief Operating Officer, will give a presentation at the conference titled, "Delivery of therapeutic RNA in inflammation and cancer using peptide-based nanoparticles”. In addition, she will participate in the panel discussion on “Tissue specific targeting of mRNA to increase therapeutic efficacy.”
"There is a strong and growing interest in the use of mRNA for highly targeted treatment of a broad range of human diseases, based on the unique ability of mRNA to promote expression of specific proteins,” Dr. Pañeda commented. “However, even the most powerful mRNA therapeutic is useless if it is not delivered safely and effectively into target cells, which has remained one of the key challenges for non-hepatic targets to date. Thanks to our SemaPhore platform we are able to deliver therapeutic mRNA, in an efficient and safe manner, to tissues harboring a tumor or suffering from acute or chronic inflammation, restricting the therapeutic effect of the drug to the site where it is needed."
SemaPhore™, Altamira’s peptide-based delivery platform for mRNA, has been successfully tested so far in vivo in models of osteoarthritis (WNT16, DNMT3B), atherosclerosis (p27
