Omega Therapeutics Announces Publication of Epigenomic Controller OTX-2002 Preclinical Data in Nature Communications
Omega Therapeutics (Nasdaq: OMGA) has published preclinical data for OTX-2002, their epigenomic controller targeting the MYC gene in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), in Nature Communications. The study demonstrates OTX-2002's ability to downregulate MYC expression and inhibit tumor growth in HCC models, both as a monotherapy and in combination with standard treatments.
Key findings include:
Rapid reduction in MYC mRNA and protein levels Decreased viability of HCC cell lines Dose-dependent tumor size reduction Synergistic effects with other cancer therapies Beneficial impact on the tumor microenvironment OTX-2002 is currently in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial (MYCHELANGELO™ I) for HCC and other MYC-associated solid tumors. The data supports the potential of Omega's OMEGA platform to develop programmable epigenomic mRNA medicines for various diseases.
