Oral Presentation highlighted new scientific evidence that DOR is expressed on tumor-associated Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSCs), and its inhibition decreases immune suppressing capabilities of MDSCs by downregulating expression of multiple genes associated with MDSC induced immunosuppression

Data presented in the Company's poster demonstrated that the DOR is also expressed on tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) and DOR inhibition appears to reverse TAM mediated T cell suppression with the potential to overcome resistance to checkpoint inhibitor and other cancer immunotherapies

TAMPA, Fla., Dec. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TuHURA Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:HURA) ("TuHURA"), a Phase 3 immune-oncology company developing novel technologies to overcome resistance to cancer immunotherapy, today announced that its research on the potential role of the Delta Opioid Receptor (DOR) in controlling the immunosuppressive capabilities of MDSCs was presented in an oral presentation at the 67th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition that took place on Sunday, December 7 in Orlando, FL. The Company presented these updated results, along with a poster presentation highlighting the effects of DOR inhibition on TAMs, another immunosuppressive cellular component critical to the tumorigenic microenvironment.
