Forward Guidance
TScan Therapeutics is focused on advancing its leukemia and solid tumor programs, with anticipated milestones including initiating a Phase 1 umbrella trial, presenting clinical and preclinical data, and submitting IND applications.
Positive Outlook
- Initiate Phase 1 umbrella trial for TSC-100, with plans to enroll patients in the first half of 2022 in the TSC-100 and standard-of-care arms.
- Anticipate presentation of initial clinical data from both treatment arms of the leukemia program at a medical meeting in the second half of 2022.
- Present initial preclinical data on the TSC-200 series at the ASGCT 25th Annual Meeting.
- Progress IND-enabling studies for the TSC-200 series and submit two IND applications during the second half of 2022. These are expected to include TSC-200-A02 for HPV and TSC-204-C7 for MAGE-A1.
- In 2023, the Company plans to release initial clinical data for the TSC-200 series TCRs, as well as file further INDs for additional programs in this series.
Challenges Ahead
- As previously disclosed, the FDA placed a clinical hold on the IND for TSC-101 in January 2022.
- The Company has since received written communication from the FDA asking for additional assessment of the potential for off-tumor reactivity in certain tissues.
- TScan is working with the agency to resolve its questions as quickly as possible.
- Pending acceptance from the FDA regarding the IND for TSC-101, the Company will then initiate the TSC-101 arm of this trial in the same patient population.
- Research is continuing into potential T cell focused COVID-19 vaccine constructs utilizing TScan’s novel T cell target discoveries. The Company is currently conducting preclinical studies for this program.
