Tollys

41 quai Fulchiron, Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, 69005, France

Overview

Tollys focuses on innate immunity and the biology and modulation of the Toll‑like receptor 3 (TLR3). The company discovered and patented a family of TLR3 agonists and selected TL‑532, a structurally defined 70 base-pair double-stranded RNA produced synthetically, as its lead candidate. TL‑532 is highly specific to the TLR3 receptor, a feature the company says differentiates it from other TLR3 agonists tested in clinical trials. Tollys is using financing to support preclinical development of TL‑532 and to prepare for clinical development by late 2021/early 2022. The company has a staff of ten and has raised a total of €6.0M from private investors. Founded in 2015, Tollys intends to advance TL‑532 through regulatory toxicology and preclinical studies toward clinical entry.
