- Background
SPC2968 is a synthetic antisense oligodeoxynucleotide targeting hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha). It was under investigation in clinical trial NCT02564614 (A Study of Hypoxia-inducible Factor 1a (HIF1A) Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) Antagonist (RO7070179), to Demonstrate Proof-of-mechanism in Adult Participants With Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)).

- Mechanism of action
SPC2968 is a potent inhibitor of hypoxia inducible transcription factor (HIF-1±) , which serves as the key sensor of cellular hypoxia in response to which it transcriptionally up-regulates a host of genes that play important roles in promotion of cancers, including angiogenesis, apoptosis, cell migration and metastasis. HIF-1± protein is essentially undetectable in normal cells, but reaches high intracellular concentrations in a variety of cancers where it is strongly correlated with poor prognosis and resistance to therapy. SPC2968 thus has the potential to become a broad, multiple mode-of-action and highly cancer cell selective drug. [Santaris Pharmaceuticals Website]
