ATP and Adenosine in the Tumor Microenvironment
Tumors employ various strategies to create an environment that reduces the immune system’s ability to detect and fight cancer. The ATP-adenosine pathway regulates the tumor microenvironment (TME) that both stimulates the immune system and counters immune suppression. Tizona’s TTX-030 prevents the formation of immune suppressive extracellular adenosine and maintains high levels of extracellular ATP, stimulating dendritic and myeloid-derived cells necessary for both innate and adaptive immunity.
TTX-030, a Novel First-in-Class Anti-CD39 Antibody
TTX-030 is an antibody that inhibits the activity of CD39, an enzyme that converts ATP to AMP, the initial steps in the generation of adenosine in the tumor microenvironment. Phase I/Ib clinical testing began in March 2019 evaluating TTX-030 in combination with an approved anti-PD-1 immunotherapy and in combination with standard chemotherapies in adults with advanced cancers.
