SEONGNAM, South Korea, Feb. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PharmaResearch Co., Ltd. (CEO: Jihoon Sohn) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for PRD-101, enabling the initiation of a Phase 1 clinical trial in the United States.

PRD-101 is a next-generation nano anticancer drug candidate formulated using nucleotide fragments produced through PharmaResearch's proprietary DOT® (DNA Optimizing Technology). The drug leverages the company's nucleotide-based Advanced DOT™ drug delivery platform, designed to enable efficient loading of therapeutics and improve pharmacokinetics.

The Phase 1 clinical trial will be conducted across up to seven clinical sites in the United States and is expected to enroll approximately 90 patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of PRD-101.

 "The FDA clearance of our IND application marks an important milestone for PRD-101. Through this Phase 1 trial, we aim to further characterize PRD-101 and continue advancing our oncology pipeline," PharmaResearch stated.

About PharmaResearch's PRD-101

PRD-101 represents a significant advancement in cancer treatment, utilizing nucleotide fragments produced through PharmaResearch's proprietary DNA optimizing technology (DOT®) in nanoparticle anticancer formulations. Collaborative efforts between PharmaResearch and the University of California Irvine (UCI) researchers, along with support from organizations like the U.S. NCL, have propelled the development of PRD-101. PharmaResearch holds patents and exclusive licenses associated with PRD-101, marking a milestone in the company's innovative endeavors.

Traditional anticancer drugs often face limitations due to high toxicity, which restricts patient eligibility and necessitates careful dosage management. PharmaResearch anticipates that PRD-101 will address these unmet medical needs in anticancer therapy.

MANCHESTER, England, Feb. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- One Port St., a major new luxury residential development in Manchester's Northern Quarter, is now open and welcoming residents to the highly anticipated £195 million building. The landmark scheme represents a significant milestone for the area, introducing a new standard of premium living to the Northern Quarter.

Residents of the 477 open-plan apartments have access to a 2,000 sq ft swimming pool and spa pool (the first in the Northern Quarter) with integrated changing rooms, alongside a beautifully designed landscaped urban garden set within 22,000 sq ft of new public realm.

The unrivalled amenities at One Port St. also include a stunning arrival experience centred around a 360-degree firepit, all designed to encapsulate the relaxed, yet social experience of a private residents lounge. This large and airy space with floor to ceiling windows includes thoughtfully designed co-working areas as well as cosy places to relax and hang out including the hidden 'Hideout' room accessed via a concealed door – a speakeasy style room for residents to retreat and relax.

The spacious and state-of-the-art gym which overlooks the new public realm and is fitted with top-of-the-range Matrix equipment, delivering a best-in-class fitness experience that rivals any private members gym and is included in the rent for residents.

The stunning seventh floor space also features an exclusive dining room which can be booked by residents for special occasions.

Launching alongside the opening of the building is the One Port St. Collective, a  residents programme designed to connect people with the best of Manchester. Through a dedicated resident app, members gain exclusive access to One Port St. partners and  curated discounts, acting as a "key to the city" for residents. The Collective reinforces One Port St.'s ambition to offer more than just a place to live, responding to a growing demand for high-quality rental homes in Manchester where residents increasingly prioritise demand, service and long-term liveability.

The apartment's beautiful open plan layouts and highest specification fixtures and fittings have all been expertly styled by Select Property's in-house design team, enhanced in the public spaces with specially curated art work by selected independent artists. Taking inspiration from the local area, the interiors showcase rustic values merged with design, via raw metals, sustainable products and ceramic tiles.

One Port St. is about redefining what modern rental living can be. It's not just about beautiful apartments – it's about how people live, connect and experience the city around them. Positioned at the gateway to the Northern Quarter, this is a place shaped by its surroundings and designed for modern city life. The Northern Quarter has long been the heart of Manchester's creativity and culture, and One Port St. celebrates that identity and brings something totally new to the area. With apartments now open and available to rent, and residents moving in, this is a big milestone for us and a proud moment for our entire team."

Ian Simpson, Co-founding Partner, SimpsonHaugh added: "One Port St. presented an opportunity to elevate residential provision in one of Manchester's most characterful districts, creating a design that mediates between the Northern Quarter and the wider city. Our ambition was to create a building that respects and responds to the Northern Quarter's rich industrial heritage. The result is an elegant landmark development that combines considered design, outstanding amenities, and enhanced public realm to form a welcoming and connected place to live, visit and enjoy. We're proud to see the building now open and becoming part of the evolving story of this iconic neighbourhood."
