Coiled Therapeutics plc
("Coiled Therapeutics" or the "Company")
Attendance at Endless Frontier Labs 2026
Coiled Therapeutics to Showcase AO-252 at Prestigious Endless Frontier Labs
2026 Event
Coiled Therapeutics plc (AIM: COIL), the clinical-stage oncology company
developing precision medicines for hard-to-treat cancers, announces that it
will be featured at the prestigious Endless Frontier Labs (EFL) Frontiers 2026
event today in New York City. The Company's Chief Technology Officer, Chaemin
Lim, will present in the Oncology Diagnostics & Targeted Therapies block,
a key segment of the event's Life Sciences track.
Based at the NYU Stern School of Business, Endless Frontier Labs is a leading
non-profit accelerator programme for commercialising science and deep-tech
companies. Coiled Therapeutics was selected to participate in the highly
competitive nine-month EFL programme, with only 5% of applicants successfully
graduating, which is designed to help early-stage science and technology-based
companies accelerate their development. The programme has an excellent track
record of helping to accelerate growth amongst its alumni companies.
The Company's admission to the programme follows the release of highly
encouraging clinical trial data for its lead asset, AO-252, a first-in-class
TACC3 inhibitor. Recent updates from the trial demonstrated an 80% Clinical
Benefit Rate in the twice daily cohort, a significant signal of efficacy in a
heavily pre-treated patient population.
Participation in the programme provides a significant endorsement of Coiled
Therapeutics' technology and its potential to make a major impact in the field
of oncology. The programme offers invaluable mentorship from industry
experts, access to a network of potential investors, and business development
support from NYU Stern School of Business.
CEO of Coiled Therapeutics, Sridhar Vempati said: "Presenting at Endless
Frontier Labs allows us to showcase our technology and to connect with an
excellent network of investors and industry experts who recognise the
potential of our science. We are eager to build on our recent clinical
momentum and share our vision for AO-252 to be a much-needed treatment for
patients who have exhausted all other options."
The Frontiers 2026 event is the culmination of the EFL programme, where the
latest cohort of companies present their innovations to an audience of
investors and industry leaders.

About Coiled Therapeutics plc
Coiled Therapeutics (AIM: COIL) is an AIM-listed, clinical-stage biotechnology
company focused on developing innovative precision oncology therapies. Its
lead programme, AO-252, is a novel TACC3 inhibitor currently in Phase I
clinical trials in the USA (trials ID: NCT06136884). Coiled Therapeutics is
actively enrolling patients to test for safety and efficacy in patients whose
cancer has progressed on other treatments. The Company is also assessing
its STAT-6 siRNA programme for immunology indications. Coiled Therapeutics is
supported by a leadership team with a proven track record in drug development
and strategic backing from A2A Pharmaceuticals.
About AO-252
AO-252 is a first-in-class, orally administered, brain-penetrant small
molecule inhibitor of Transforming Acidic Coiled-Coil containing protein 3
(TACC3). TACC3 is a validated oncology target that is frequently overexpressed
in many aggressive, hard-to-treat solid tumours but is dispensable in normal
adult cells, providing a wide therapeutic window.
By selectively disrupting cancer-critical protein-protein interactions at the
TACC3 C-terminal domain, AO-252 induces mitotic and replication stress,
impairs DNA damage repair, and triggers cancer cell death. Notably, AO-252 has
demonstrated the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, addressing a
significant unmet medical need for the treatment of brain metastases.
The asset is currently in an ongoing Phase I open-label dose-escalation study
and early clinical signals have shown encouraging anti-tumour activity and a
benign safety profile, with the Company planning to initiate dose expansion
cohorts in lead indications, including prostate and ovarian cancer, during
2026.
