By: Newsfile

Phio to present a clinical study progress update on their lead clinical candidate, PH-762

Marlborough, Massachusetts--(Newsfile Corp. - May 23, 2024) - Phio Pharmaceuticals Corp. (NASDAQ: PHIO), a clinical stage biotechnology company whose proprietary INTASYL™ siRNA gene silencing technology is designed to make immune cells more effective in killing tumor cells, today announced it is presenting data about its lead product candidate, PH-762, an INTASYL compound, at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) to be held in Chicago, Illinois.

Phio is reporting on the completion of the first dose cohort for its on-going open-label Phase 1b clinical study (NCT 06014086) which is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of neoadjuvant use of intratumoral PH-762 in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), melanoma and Merkel cell carcinoma. Stages 1 and 2 cSCC represent 77% of all new cSCC annually. There are no drug products approved for treatment of Stages 1 and 2 cSCC.

"We are pleased to share our progress in this trial with the oncology community," said Mary Spellman MD, Phio's acting Chief Medical Officer. "We believe that this immuno-oncology therapy may offer patients meaningful clinical benefit, while minimizing surgical interventions."
