Brenus Pharma Presented New Preclinical and Early Clinical Data in Colorectal Cancer During AACR Immuno-Oncology Conference 202619.2.2026 08:50:00 CET | Press release

Brenus Pharma, a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering in vivo “off-the-shelf” immunotherapies, announced the selection of an abstract for a poster presentation at the American Association for Cancer Research Immuno-Oncology (AACRIO) annual conference (February 18-21, 2026), in Los Angeles. The poster showcases new preclinical data and early clinical insights from the company's lead candidate, STC-1010, supporting it as a promising therapeutic option for MSS, immune-cold colorectal cancer (CRC)—a major unmet clinical need. In a syngeneic CT26 model, murine STC-1010 significantly inhibits tumor growth and extends survival by 40%. New mechanistic datas reveal expansion of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells in draining lymph nodes alongside a significant humoral response compared to control, demonstrating coordinated cellular and humoral immune activation in vivo. Other findings show that dendritic cells efficiently capture STC-1010, leading to their activation as demonstrated by transcripto
