Transforming Immunotherapy Through Precision TCR Engineering

Tenaci-T Therapeutics was spun out of Dr. Alexandre Reuben's lab at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Over several years, Dr. Reuben's lab developed a TCR discovery pipeline which has enabled the validation of more than a dozen T cell receptors targeting some of the most prevalent antigens in lung cancer and other solid tumors. Tenaci-T Therapeutics aims to advance these receptors into the clinic.

What Makes Us Different

Why Our T-Cell Receptor Platform Stands Apart

1

Target and HLA-degenerate TCRs with high tumor specificity to broaden the patient landscape.

2

High prevalence antigens/targets across solid tumors

3

Diverse HLA restrictions prevalent across patient populations in North America, Europe, and Asia

4

Different antigen classes including tumor-associated antigens, point mutations, indels, and duplications

5

Selected antigens are essential to the tumor phenotype, ensuring clonal expression and low intratumor heterogeneity

6

TCRs selected based on function rather than solely affinity

7

TCR-T exhibit ability to serially kill multiple targets

8

Extensive cross-reactivity and safety testing via X-scan and tissue/cell arrays

9

Antigens selected and TCR-T selected to overcome therapeutic resistance to standard of care
