Tellus Therapeutics – Traction in 2020
Austin Schwartz, Director of Operations
March 11th, 2020
Tellus Therapeutics is on target for a productive 2020 and is gaining traction towards its mission of developing treatments for unmet needs in newborns. Support from the MassChallenge 2019 Diamond Award ($100,000) has allowed Tellus to further strengthen operations and advance development of its lead asset, TT-20, and the company’s pipeline development program. IND-enabling studies funded by a Duke Clinical and Science Translational Institute (CTSI) Grant ($500,000) are underway while the CMC program and regulatory interactions are supported by a Small Business Research Loan ($250,000) from the North Carolina Biotechnology Center (NCBC) and a pending SBIR application. Tellus will prepare applications for Orphan and Rare Pediatric designations and further engage the FDA in a pre-IND meeting within the next year. Development of Tellus’ clinical trial strategy continues with engagement of expertise across Duke and Harvard’s Boston Children’s and Brigham and Women’s Hospitals.
Concurrent with these efforts, Tellus intends to seek additional financing to complete IND-enabling studies, conduct a Phase 1b clinical trial for TT-20, continue pipeline development and support company operations.
