Overview
TTC Oncology is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing TTC-352, a novel ShERPA (Selective Human Estrogen Receptor Partial Agonist) for the treatment of metastatic ER+ breast cancer. The company was founded by a team of academic experts and is built on a worldwide license from the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). Its core strategy is to address the significant unmet need in endocrine-resistant breast cancer by offering a safer alternative to high-dose estrogen therapy, with the drug having already completed a Phase 1 clinical trial.
Technology Platform
ShERPA (Selective Human Estrogen Receptor Partial Agonist) platform for modulating the estrogen receptor to treat endocrine-resistant ER+ breast cancer with an improved safety profile.

Competitive Landscape
TTC-352 competes in the crowded ER+ breast cancer space, facing competition from standard endocrine therapies, CDK4/6 inhibitors, PI3K inhibitors, SERDs (like elacestrant), and other novel agents. Its primary differentiation is its mechanism as a safer estrogen receptor agonist aimed specifically at overcoming endocrine resistance, a niche not directly addressed by most newer targeted therapies.
