Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for 15-20% of all breast cancers and is associated with a poor prognosis, with a median survival of 13 months. There are limited treatment options for this disease. Recent studies have indicated clinical benefits of platinum agents in TNBC.
Scientists at Invictus Oncology designed IO-125 for superior anti-tumor activity by discovering a novel highly active platinum agent and then utilized their supramolecular platform to enhance its biodistribution to tumors vs. normal tissues. The results show that IO-125 has remarkable and sustained activity in TNBC xenograft models. Based on these observations, IO-125 has entered late stages of pre-clincal development.
