This reversal restored the function of two key tumor suppressor genes, MASPIN and RASSF1A, which are often silenced in cancer due to hypermethylation.

Study Findings On Gene Function

According to the filing, MASPIN plays a critical role in blocking tumor invasion, regulating cell migration and angiogenesis, promoting apoptosis, and enhancing sensitivity to treatment. Telomir-1 was shown to reverse chemotherapy-induced DNA methylation, effectively restoring MASPIN activity in vivo.

RASSF1A is involved in regulating cell cycle control, promoting apoptosis, and suppressing metastasis. According to the company's report, Telomir-1 reduced RASSF1A methylation in a dose-dependent manner, with even stronger effects observed when used in combination with chemotherapy.

Development Status

Telomir Pharmaceuticals stated it is continuing preclinical development with IND-enabling studies.

Stock Performannce

TELO is down 65.53% year-to-date, with a 15.45% gain over the past month.

The Florida-based company has traded between $1.12 and $7.08 over the past year, with a market capitalization of $45.84 million and an average daily trading volume of 3.33 million shares.
