Based on its dual-targeted siRNA therapeutics design and polypeptide nanoparticle delivery technology, Sirnaomics has established an enriched product pipeline of RNAi therapeutics for treatment of various types of cancer conditions, including the first successful demonstration of a Phase IIa clinical validation of STP705 for treatment of skin squamous cell carcinoma in situ, followed by clinical Phase I study of STP707 for multiple solid tumors such as liver cancers. Additionally, the Company intends to file INDs to initiate clinical studies in 2023 for three programs currently in later preclinical stage: STP355 for colorectal cancer and melanoma, STP369 for head and neck cancer and bladder cancer, and STP779 for cholangiocarcinoma. The development of all these novel RNAi therapeutic programs has taken advantage of the Company's well positioning in both the U.S. and China.
