Regen BioPharma, Inc. announced a program to accelerate the clinical development of its NR2F6 therapies. The Company intends to combine modified mRNA technology with Regen's existing siRNA (small interfering RNA) intellectual property targeting the NR2F6 nuclear receptor which has been identified as a potentially very important immune cell inhibitor (an immune checkpoint) and cancer stem cell differentiator. mRNA is a single-stranded molecule that carries genetic code from DNA in a cell's nucleus to ribosomes (the cell's protein-making machinery).

Regen has filed an Investigational New Drug Application (IND#16928) for their drug termed tCellVax with the U.S. FDA. tCellVax is intended to utilize siRNA to silence NR2F6 activity in human immune cells thereby activating these immune cells in such a way that they can attack cancer cells. The Company believes that adding new intellectual property utilizing modified mRNA will profoundly simplify the drug development process and thus speed development.
