Initiating our inaugural human clinical trial marks a pivotal and thrilling juncture. Alise Reicin, MD, President and CEO of Tectonic Therapeutic, anticipates that relaxin's biological promise will soon be demonstrated within a clinical patient setting.

Relaxin's role as an agonist to the RXFP1 receptor is responsible for a myriad of physiological impacts. These include wide-ranging arterial dilations, modification of tissue structure or reversal of fibrosis, and inflammation attenuation.

The breadth of relaxin's biological actions translates to a vast array of possible medical uses, particularly expecting profound advancements in treating cardio-pulmonary conditions. Relaxin, often referred to as the "pregnancy hormone", increases during the maternal phase to support the mother's circulatory needs for the growing fetus and to adapt bodily tissues and bone-muscle systems for delivery.

Tectonic's proprietary therapeutic, the TX000045 Fc-relaxin fusion protein or "TX45," is postulated to be a category-leading treatment borne from advanced protein design to enhance the native hormone’s biophysical traits and yield superior pharmacokinetic, molecular targeting, and development features. Preliminary safety trials determining dosage in healthy participants are complete, and the future trajectory of TX45 will target addressing the critical demand in cardio-pulmonary disease areas.

“TX45 represents a potential game-changer for numerous patients afflicted with cardiovascular disorders,” stated Tim Springer, PhD, Co-Founder of Tectonic, as well as Latham Family Professor at Harvard Medical School and Professor of Medicine at Children’s Hospital Boston. He further commented on the company's proven capability in pioneering novel biologics aimed at GPCRs. Tectonic anticipates that TX45 will pave the way for subsequent innovative clinical endeavors derived from the company's technological foundations.

According to the data provided by the Synapse Database, As of December 6, 2023, there are 6 investigational drugs for the RXFP1 target, including 23 indications, 18 R&D institutions involved, with related clinical trials reaching 39, and as many as 307 patents.

TX-000045 specifically targets RXFP1 suggests that it may have a unique mechanism of action that is tailored to modulate the activity of this receptor. RXFP1 is known to play a role in cardiovascular diseases, making it a promising target for drug development in this therapeutic area. Additional research and clinical trials will be necessary to determine the safety and efficacy of TX-000045 in treating cardiovascular diseases.
