Nutcracker Therapeutics to Present Data on mRNA Drug Candidate and Immunomodulatory Cytokine at AACR 2024

EMERYVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nutcracker Therapeutics, Inc., a biotechnology company dedicated to developing transformative RNA therapies through its proprietary technology platform, today announced that two poster presentations highlighting the company’s RNA therapeutics pipeline will be introduced at the 2024 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting.

The first presentation entails LIGHT, an immunomodulatory cytokine that is one of the components of NTX-250, the company’s lead candidate for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. The second presentation is on preclinical data for Nutcracker’s mRNA drug candidate for prostate cancer, NTX-470. This therapy is designed to target prostate cancer antigens with mRNA-encoded, multi-specific T cell engagers with a strong anti-tumor effect and low toxicity.
