About Circio
Building circular RNA expression systems for enhanced gene and cell therapies
Circio Holding ASA is a biotechnology company developing powerful circular RNA
vector expression technology for next generation nucleic acid medicine.
Circio has established a unique circular RNA (circRNA) vector expression
technology for next generation RNA, DNA and viral therapeutics. The
proprietary circVec platform is based on a modular genetic cassette design for
efficient biogenesis of multifunctional circRNA inside cells. The circVec
platform has applications in multiple therapeutic settings, including genetic
medicine, cell therapy and chronic disease. It has demonstrated over 70-fold
prolonged RNA half-life and up to 15-fold enhanced protein expression vs.
conventional mRNA vector systems in vivo, and has the potential to become a
new gold-standard protein expression technology. The circRNA R&D activities
are being conducted by the wholly owned subsidiary Circio AB in Stockholm,
Sweden.
In parallel, Circio is continuing to develop its legacy immuno-oncology
program, TG01, through cost-efficient external academic and industry
collaborations. TG01 targets RAS-mutated cancers and is being tested in two
clinical trials in Norway and the USA. TG01 is a therapeutic peptide vaccine
adjuvanted by STIMULON QS-21 licensed from Agenus Inc.
