Brenus Pharma Unveils Groundbreaking Preclinical Results For STC-1010 1 , a Promising New Drug Candidate Targeting Colorectal Cancer & Solid Tumors
Brenus Pharma Announces two groundbreaking presentations on STC-1010, the company's first drug candidate for colorectal cancer (CRC), produced by Brenus Pharma's STC (Stimulated Tumor-Cells) Technology Platform.
Innovative models for anti-tumor vaccine development were highlighted: Inovotion’s CAM (chorioallantoic model) in-ovo assay and Explicyte’s ex-vivo co-cultured assay, were used to characterize the mechanism of action through a specific immune response, and validate the anti-tumor effects of STC-1010.
These models comply with the FDA’s modernization act 2.0 S. 5002 and demonstrate the potential of STC-1010 in clinical settings for the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer.
The first study evaluated the safety and efficacy of STC-1010 in activating the antitumoral immune response against human colorectal adenocarcinoma using the chicken CAM assay. Results obtained in-ovoconfirmed the anti-tumor efficacy -mediated by cytokine secretion and T cells expansion- of the vaccine previously observed in CRC syngeneic mouse models. Dendritic cells primed by STC-1010will induce a multi specific pool of T-lymphocytes against the tumor without toxicity.
The second study evaluated the functional activity of STC-1010-primed dendritic cells (DCs) from PBMCs human donors’ isolation, to activate autologous CD8+ T cells and promote tumor cell death. The study evaluated the cross-priming and specificity of the immune response induced by STC-1010. Results showed that STC-1010 is an efficient strategy to educate the immune system by cross-priming DCs and increasing the activity of specific CD8+ T cells (TCR sequencing) all of which promotes the significant tumor killing observed ex-vivo.
Taken together, these studies provide promising results for the development of the STC-1010 and prove its potential to be presented into clinical setting for the treatment of patients with CRC.

Parse Biosciences and Codebreaker Labs Partner to Apply Whole Transcriptome Single Cell Profiling and Causal Genomics at Scale19.12.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press Release
Parse Biosciences, the leading provider of scalable and accessible single cell sequencing solutions, today announced a collaboration with Codebreaker Labs to develop and validate a breakthrough platform capable of testing thousands of genetic variants in parallel and measuring their effects at single cell resolution. By combining Codebreaker’s synthetic biology platform and variant engineering capabilities with the scale and accessibility of Parse’s Evercode™ technology, the collaboration aims to generate the causal data increasingly sought by AI developers, drug discovery teams, and clinical researchers. Today’s genomic studies rely heavily on observational data, or variants that appear in large populations. But rare and private variants, often only seen in one individual or family, are nearly impossible to study this way because too few carriers of the variant exist to draw statistically meaningful conclusions. As a result, even the most advanced models trained on observational datas
