About Circio
Building next generation RNA therapeutics
Circio Holding ASA is a biotechnology company developing novel circular RNA gene
therapies and immunotherapy medicines.
Circio has established a unique circular RNA (circRNA) expression platform for
genetic medicine. The proprietary circVec technology is based on a modular
genetic cassette design for efficient biogenesis of multifunctional circRNA from
DNA and viral vectors, which can be deployed in multiple disease settings,
including cell and gene -therapy and chronic diseases. The circVec platform has
demonstrated enhanced and more durable protein expression vs. classic mRNA
vector systems and has the potential to become the new gold-standard for DNA and
virus-based therapeutics in the future. The circRNA R&D activities are being
conducted by the wholly owned subsidiary Circio AB based at the Karolinska
Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.
In addition, Circio is developing a pan-RAS cancer vaccine, TG01, targeting KRAS
driver mutations. TG01 is currently being tested in two clinical trials: RAS
-mutated pancreatic and lung cancer in the USA and multiple myeloma in Norway.
These studies are being run through academic and industry collaborative
networks, supported by prestigious research grants from Innovation Norway and
the Norwegian Research Council, creating read-outs and future optionality for
the program at low cost to Circio.
