Brenus Pharma, a French biotech developing next-generation first-in-class immunotherapies, and InSphero, a Swiss leader in 3D cell-based assay technologies, presented promising data at the European Association for Cancer Research 2025 annual congress.

Previous studies showed that STC-1010 antigens were effectively processed by monocyte-derived dendritic cells (mMo-DCs), activating CD8+ T cells. These T cells induced apoptosis in both 2D and 3D colorectal cancer models and released anti-tumor cytokine
