Teclison is a US-based biotechnology company that leads 3 cancer trials in OnCo, testing trans-arterial tirapazamine embolisation (TATE) in hepatocellular carcinoma, neuroendocrine tumours and colorectal cancer.
Teclison develops cancer therapies designed to induce tumour necrosis and enhance anti-tumour immunity, with a focus on improving the effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors in solid tumours that have spread to the liver. Its clinical programme is trans-arterial tirapazamine embolisation (TATE), studied alone and with pembrolizumab. It has offices in Princeton and Taipei. On ClinicalTrials.gov it is the lead sponsor of 3 trials recorded in OnCo: NCT03259867 (phase 2, Combination of TATE and PD-1 Inhibitor in Liver Cancer), NCT02174549 (phase 1/2, Dose-defining Study of Tirapazamine Combined With Embolization in Liver Cancer) and NCT04701476 (phase 2, TATE and Pembrolizumab (MK3475) in mCRC and NSCLC). Sponsor and trial facts are from the ClinicalTrials.gov registry; company facts are from the official website.
Nivolumab was the second PD-1 blocker and is often combined with ipilimumab. Long-term data show about half of advanced melanoma patients alive at 10 years on the combination.
Pembrolizumab is a PD-1 blocking antibody approved in more than 40 settings, from melanoma and lung cancer to the first tumour-agnostic approval for mismatch-repair-deficient tumours in 2017, and before and after surgery in triple-negative breast cancer. A subcutaneous form arrived in 2025, and it is the backbone partner for ADCs and personalised neoantigen vaccines.
An oral chemotherapy pill for bowel cancer that has stopped responding to everything else; with bevacizumab it extends life by about three months.
A sorafenib successor that became the first second-line drug proven to prolong life in liver cancer (2017).
