Telomir Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: TELO) reported new preclinical findings showing that its small molecule Telomir-1 reduced survival of aggressive human pancreatic cancer (PANC-1) cells in vitro. The compound produced a concentration-dependent decrease in cell viability and mitochondrial activity, aligning with prior results in triple‑negative breast and prostate cancer models.

The response in pancreatic cells was partially reversed by iron re‑addition, indicating iron‑dependent processes contribute to the effect, while incomplete rescue suggests additional metabolic or epigenetic mechanisms. Telomir-1 has been associated with tumor suppressor genes and iron‑dependent histone demethylases relevant to pancreatic cancer, including MASPIN (SERPINB5), RASSF1A, STAT1, KDM2B, and KDM6B. The company noted pancreatic cancer’s five‑year survival rate is about 12 percent. Telomir plans to expand preclinical research to additional models, including leukemia, and to initiate in vivo validation studies as part of ongoing IND preparation.

Telomir Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: TELO) ha riportato nuove scoperte precliniche che mostrano che la sua piccola molecola Telomir-1 ha ridotto la sopravvivenza delle cellule pancreatiche umane aggressive (PANC-1) in vitro. Il composto ha prodotto una diminuzione della vitalità cellulare e dell'attività mitocondriale dipendente dalla concentrazione, in linea con i risultati precedenti in modelli di cancro al seno triplo-negativo e di cancro alla prostata.

La risposta nelle cellule pancreatiche è stata parzialmente invertita dalla reintegrazione del ferro, indicando che processi dipendenti dal ferro contribuiscono all'effetto, mentre il recupero incompleto suggerisce ulteriori meccanismi metabolici o epigenetici. Telomir-1 è stato associato a geni soppressori tumorali e a demetilasi istoniche dipendenti dal ferro rilevanti per il cancro pancreatico, tra cui MASPIN (SERPINB5), RASSF1A, STAT1, KDM2B e KDM6B. L'azienda ha osservato che la sopravvivenza a cinque anni per il cancro pancreatico è di circa il 12 percento. Telomir pianifica di espandere la ricerca preclinica a modelli aggiuntivi, inclusi leucemia, e di avviare studi di convalida in vivo come parte della preparazione continua all'IND.

췌장 세포의 반응은 철의 재보충으로 부분적으로 되돌려졌으며, 이는 철 의존적 과정이 효과에 기여한다는 것을 나타내고, 미복구 회복은 추가적인 대사적 또는 에피제네틱 메커니즘을 시사합니다. Telomir-1은 췌장암과 관련된 종양 억제 유전자 및 철 의존성 히스톤 탈메틸화효소와 연관되었다고 하며, MASPIN(SERPINB5), RASSF1A, STAT1, KDM2B, KDM6B를 포함합니다. 회사는 췌장암 5년 생존율이 약 12%라고 밝혔습니다. Telomir는 백혈병을 포함한 추가 모델에 대한 전임상 연구를 확장하고 진행 중인 IND 준비의 일부로 현장 내 검증 연구를 시작할 계획입니다.

Telomir Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ : TELO) a publié de nouveaux résultats précliniques montrant que sa petite molécule Telomir-1 a réduit la survie des cellules agressives humaines du cancer du pancréas (PANC-1) in vitro. Le composé a entraîné une diminution de la viabilité cellulaire et de l’activité mitochondriale en fonction de la concentration, en accord avec les résultats antérieurs dans des modèles de cancer du sein triple négatif et de cancer de la prostate.

Telomir Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: TELO) meldete neue präklinische Ergebnisse, die zeigen, dass seine kleine Molekül Telomir-1 das Überleben aggressiver menschlicher Bauchspeicheldrüsenkrebszellen (PANC-1) in vitro reduzierte. Die Verbindung führte zu einer konzentrationsabhängigen Abnahme der Zellviabilität und der mitochondrialen Aktivität, was mit früheren Ergebnissen in Modellen des dreifach-negativen Brust- und Prostatakrebs übereinstimmt.

Die Reaktion in den Bauchspeicheldrüsenzellen wurde teilweise durch die erneute Zufuhr von Eisen reversibel, was darauf hindeutet, dass eisenabhängige Prozesse zum Effekt beitragen, während eine unvollständige Rettung auf zusätzliche metabolische oder epigenetische Mechanismen hindeutet. Telomir-1 wurde mit Tumor-Suppressorgenen und eisenabhängigen Histon-Demethylasen in Verbindung gebracht, die für Bauchspeicheldrüsenkrebs relevant sind, darunter MASPIN (SERPINB5), RASSF1A, STAT1, KDM2B und KDM6B. Das Unternehmen wies darauf hin, dass die Fünf-Jahres-Überlebensrate beim Bauchspeicheldrüsenkrebs etwa 12 Prozent beträgt. Telomir plant, die präklinische Forschung auf weitere Modelle auszuweiten, einschließlich Leukämie, und mit der In-vivo-Validierung im Rahmen der laufenden IND-Vorbereitung zu beginnen.

Insights

Preclinical in vitro signal; early-stage and nonclinical.

The update describes in vitro activity of Telomir-1 in PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells, with concentration‑dependent reductions in viability and mitochondrial activity. The iron re‑addition partial reversal points to iron‑dependent biology while implying other pathways may be involved.

Mechanistically, references to MASPIN, RASSF1A, STAT1, KDM2B, and KDM6B tie the findings to epigenetic and metabolic regulators frequently dysregulated in aggressive tumors. These are laboratory observations and do not establish clinical efficacy.

The company plans to broaden preclinical work and start in vivo validation as part of IND preparation. Actual impact will depend on forthcoming in vivo data and regulatory steps disclosed in subsequent filings.

Telomir Pharmaceuticals Announces New Data Showing That Telomir-1 Kills Aggressive Pancreatic Cancer Cells, One of the Deadliest Forms of Cancer

 

Findings complement previously announced results in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and prostate cancer models, highlighting Telomir-1’s consistent impact on cancer cell survival pathways.

 

Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: TELO) (“Telomir” or the “Company”) announced new laboratory findings demonstrating that Telomir-1 reduced the survival of aggressive human pancreatic cancer (PANC-1) cells in vitro. Telomir-1 produced a concentration-dependent decrease in cell viability and mitochondrial activity, suggesting influence on cellular pathways related to energy metabolism and oxidative balance. These observations are consistent with previously reported data in triple-negative breast and prostate cancer models.

 

Similar to TNBC, Telomir-1’s effects in pancreatic cancer cells were partially reversed by iron re-addition, indicating that iron-dependent processes contribute to the response. The incomplete rescue supports the interpretation that additional metabolic or epigenetic mechanisms are engaged in pancreatic models.

 

Telomir-1 has previously been shown to influence tumor suppressor genes and iron-dependent histone demethylases that are relevant to pancreatic cancer, including MASPIN (SERPINB5), RASSF1A, STAT1, KDM2B (FBXL10), and KDM6B (JMJD3). These genes and enzymes are known to govern DNA-methylation balance, oxidative stress response, and cellular energy regulation and are frequently dysregulated in aggressive tumor types.

 

The Company noted that pancreatic cancer is among the most difficult malignancies to treat, with a five-year survival rate of approximately 12 percent. Current standards of care—FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel—are limited by systemic toxicity and the rapid development of resistance. Telomir-1 is being evaluated preclinically for its ability to modulate epigenetic and metabolic regulators that contribute to cancer-cell survival and adaptation.

 

Telomir plans to expand its preclinical research to additional cancer models, including leukemia, and to initiate in vivo validation studies as part of its ongoing Investigational New Drug (IND) preparation.
