Sunshine Biopharma Inc. (NASDAQ:SBFM) (the "Company"), a leading pharmaceutical company offering and researching life-saving medicines across multiple therapeutic areas including oncology and antivirals, today provided an update and outlined next plans for its oncology project, the K1.1 mRNA lipid nanoparticle (LNP) program.

The gene encoding the K1.1 mRNA is a tumor suppressor that is frequently mutated in a variety of cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and pancreatic cancer. Mutations in the gene of K1.1 mRNA create "cold" tumors that evade host immunosurveillance. In NSCLC and pancreatic cancers, a limited set of oncogenes is predominantly associated with mutations in the K1.1 gene, contributing to poor treatment prognosis.
