Patient Enrollment Updated. MAIA Biotechnology announced that the THIO-101 trial has enrolled 29 patients (out of 57 total patients) in Part B of the trial. Enrollment has been increasing since the recent opening of 13 new clinical trial sites in Eastern Europe. This stage of the trial is evaluating the safety, tolerability, and dosing for the Part C efficacy stage. The trial is on schedule to announce data in 3Q/4Q23.

MAIA Continues To Make Clinical Progress. The THIO-101 trial is testing THIO, a nucleoside analogue targeted at  the telomeres of cancer cells. When THIO is taken up by the reproducing DNA, it stops the replication and leads to cell death, then starts an inflammatory response in the tumor. Preclinical models have demonstrated efficacy in several tumor types.
