Overview

AZD8701 is a next-generation antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) designed to selectively target and degrade forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) mRNA in regulatory T cells (Tregs). By reducing FOXP3 expression, AZD8701 impairs the immunosuppressive function of Tregs and enhances antitumor immune responses. This approach aims to relieve tumor-induced immunosuppression and promote anti-tumor activity in cancer patients. Developed as a first-in-class human clinical candidate for oncology indications, it has demonstrated potent dose-dependent knockdown of FOXP3 protein in preclinical models and early-phase clinical trials[2][5][8].
