Company Description

Trillium Therapeutics, Inc. is a Canada-based clinical stage immuno-oncology company developing therapies for the treatment of cancer. Its SIRPaFc (TTI-621) program, which is under Phase I clinical trial, is a fusion protein that consists of the CD47-binding domain of human SIRPa linked to the fragment crystallizable (Fc) region of a human immunoglobulin (IgG1). It acts as a soluble decoy receptor, preventing CD47 from delivering its inhibitory signal. Neutralization of the inhibitory CD47 signal enables the activation of macrophage anti-tumor effects by pro-phagocytic signals. [Source: Reuters]
