Press Releases
Tiburio Therapeutics Inc., a clinical stage company developing therapies for rare endocrine diseases, today published new data from a preclinical study in the Journal of the Endocrine Society demonstrating that its lead clinical asset, TBR-760, a dopamine somatostatin chimeric compound, arrests aggressive non-functioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA) growth in a mouse model. The pre-clinical data indicate that TBR-760 completely arrested tumor growth in the pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) gene knock-out (KO) mouse model of NFPA. Additionally, notable tumor shrinkage was observed in 20% of the mice treated with TBR-760.
