TuHURA Biosciences (NASDAQ:HURA) presented preclinical data at the ASH meeting on Dec 7–8, 2025 showing the Delta Opioid Receptor (DOR) is expressed on tumor-associated myeloid cells and that DOR inhibition reduced their immunosuppressive activity.
Oral data reported DOR on MDSCs with a DOR antagonist reversing MDSC-mediated T cell suppression. Poster data showed DOR upregulation on tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and DOR inhibition reversing TAM-driven T cell suppression. The company described a library of highly selective DOR antagonists and plans a lead ADC combining a DOR inhibitor with a VISTA-blocking antibody.
TuHURA Biosciences (NASDAQ: HURA) reported Q3 2025 results and a corporate update on Nov 14, 2025. The company is enrolling a Phase 3 accelerated approval trial of IFx-2.0 as adjunctive therapy with pembrolizumab in first-line advanced/metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma under an SPA agreement with the FDA. TuHURA announced an oral presentation at ASH 2025 for its Delta Opioid Receptor (DOR) research and appointed Michael Turner, Ph.D. as VP Immunology. The company filed for an up to $50 million ATM facility pending effectiveness of an S-3 filed Nov 3, 2025. Q3 R&D expense was $4.9M vs $2.9M prior-year; nine-month operating cash outflow was $22.1M vs $12.1M prior-year. Total shares outstanding were ~51.2M as of Sept 30, 2025.
TuHURA Biosciences (NASDAQ: HURA) announced that research showing Delta Opioid Receptor (DOR) expression on tumor-associated myeloid cells was selected for an oral presentation at the 67th ASH Annual Meeting (Dec 6–9, 2025).
Key findings include the first demonstration of DOR expression on MDSCs and TAMs, evidence that DOR inhibition reprograms multiple MDSC- and TAM-mediated immunosuppressive mechanisms, and collaborative data from The Moffitt Cancer Center showing DOR+ MDSCs in MDS patients with restoration of stem cell proliferation after DOR inhibition.
TuHURA will present an oral talk on Dec 7, 2025, plus two poster presentations Dec 6–7, 2025, highlighting DOR antagonism as a potential strategy to overcome resistance to cancer immunotherapies.

The company is currently conducting a Phase 3 accelerated approval trial of IFx-2.0 in combination with Keytruda® as a first-line treatment for advanced or metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). Following its recent acquisition of Kineta, Inc., TuHURA plans to advance a novel anti-VISTA antibody into Phase 2 clinical trials for treating NMPL1-mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
TuHURA Biosciences (NASDAQ:HURA) has successfully completed the acquisition of Kineta, Inc. (OTCPK:KANT), adding a Phase 2 ready VISTA inhibiting monoclonal antibody to its immuno-oncology pipeline. The acquired drug candidate, formerly known as KVA1213, has been renamed to TBS-2025.
