On #ClinicalTrialsDay, we join the global research community in celebrating the theme of “Research Rising,” which honors the progress, people, and purpose that drive clinical research forward. At SOTIO, we bring deep expertise in clinical development, working to translate scientific insights into meaningful treatment options for patients. We are advancing a pipeline of #ADCs focused on initiating clinical trials for cancers where patients continue to face significant unmet need. Together, we’re helping research rise to meet the needs of today and the promise of tomorrow. @ACRPDC #CTD2026 #ResearchRising #WeAllRiseTogether #DrugDevelopment #ADCs

Understanding the tumor microenvironment is essential for unlocking new therapeutic strategies in #oncology. At the upcoming @EACRnewsTumour Ecosystem: From Mechanisms to Novel Therapeutics Conference, SOTIO Scientist Cecilia Aquino-Perez will present research on tertiary lymphoid structures in HPV-induced cancers, showing how immune architecture within tumors shapes treatment response. We look forward to sharing our work and engaging with fellow scientists, clinicians, and translational researchers driving progress across the oncology community. #EACR26 #CancerResearch #DrugDevelopment

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer‑related deaths worldwide. With nearly one million lives lost each year, its global impact is substantial. At @SOTIO, our teams are actively working to advance new therapeutic approaches to address this serious disease.
SOTIO@SOTIO

#ColorectalCancer is now the leading cause of cancer-related death among people younger than 50 in the U.S. It’s a critical moment for #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth to spread the word and help drive earlier diagnosis and treatment. We’re developing SOT109, a next generation #ADC designed to target CDH17, an antigen that is highly expressed in colorectal cancer and other GI cancers. Check out how ADCs like our SOT109 program work to address cancers like colorectal cancer below.

#Sarcoma is a rare and aggressive cancer with limited treatment options available. At @SOTIO, we are developing a novel therapy designed to specifically target sarcomas and other solid tumors. Learn more in the excellent article from my colleague Amy Jensen Smith.👇
SOTIO@SOTIO

In the article below, Chief Scientific Officer, Amy Jensen-Smith, shares her perspective on the urgent unmet need in #sarcoma and why advancing researching in this complex disease area is so critical, especially on #RareDiseaseDay. SOTIO is committed to developing precision-based therapies for sarcoma, exemplified through SOT106, our investigational antibody-drug conjugate (#ADC) targeting LRRC15, a clinically validated target broadly expressed across sarcoma subtypes. 👉 linkedin.com/posts/amy-jens… #RareDiseaseDay2026 #RareDiseases #RareCancers #OncologyDevelopment

BioEquity will come to the CEE region for the first time in its history! We are proud that @SOTIO, together with Prague.bio, will be among the regional hosts of this Europe’s leading biotech investor event.
SOTIO@SOTIO

This May, Bio€quity Europe, organized by @BioCentury and #EBDGroup, heads to Prague for its 26th year. We’re thrilled to welcome the biotech community to our home city. We’ll be meeting fellow #oncology experts and showcasing how our emerging pipeline, including our #ADC programs, is turning cutting-edge science into new treatment options for difficult-to-treat solid tumors. We’re eager to engage with those shaping this next wave of innovation.

Despite remarkable progress in #oncology, #cancer still claims close to 10 million lives globally every year. Investment in new therapies therefore remains so critical. Proud to be part of @SOTIO that is contributing to this global effort! #WorldCancerDay #Oncology #Immunotherapy
SOTIO@SOTIO

#WorldCancerDay reminds us of the importance of innovation and collaboration in advancing care for patients everywhere. SOTIO is committed to developing novel therapies for patients with #solidtumors, including next-generation #ADCs like SOT106 for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma and osteosarcoma and SOT109 for the treatment of colorectal and GI cancers. By creating more precise and effective treatment options, we aim to improve outcomes and expand possibles for those living with cancer.

January was a strong start to the year for our CEO Radek Spisek and SOTIO BD team, with valuable discussions across the #biotech and #oncology communities at the @jpmorgan Global Healthcare Conference, the @InformaConnect #BiotechShowcase, and the @SachsAssociates Oncology Innovation Forum. Thank you to everyone who met with us - we look forward to continuing these conversations and exploring future collaboration opportunities. Take a look at some highlights below. #JPM26 #Sachs_OIF #DrugDiscovery #BiotechPartnering #OncologyInnovation

Congratulations to Jitka Fucikova and her colleagues from @SOTIO Research team & their collaborators from Swiss research institutions!
SOTIO@SOTIO

We are excited to share this collaborative publication in @NaturePortfolioCommunications, led by our partners at the @UniBasel_en alongside the SOTIO research team. The study shows that ovarian cancer dramatically alters the omentum, a fatty tissue in the abdomen, when it spreads there. By mapping individual cells in healthy and cancer-affected tissue, researchers found that the cancer reprograms the omentum to support tumor growth. We thank our academic collaborators and all contributing institutions for their scientific excellence and dedication in advancing cancer research: @UniSpitalBasel, @ETH_en, @ISBSIB, @CharlesUniPRG Read the full text here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41397972/ #OncologyResearch #OvarianCancer
