BackgroundLTX-315 is a membrane active host-defence peptide representing a novel oncolytic treatment principle applied as intralesional therapy.
AimTo investigate whether LTX-315 induce abscopal effect in a novel rat mescenhymal three-tumor sarcoma model (rTMSC)
Tumor cells were inoculated s.c. at Day -5 on right flank (1st lesion) and at Day 0 on contralateral flank (second lesion) and i.p. (third lesion) in syngeneic PVG rats. The 1st lesion was treated with 1 mg LTX-315 once daily for 7 subsequent days (days 3 – 9). Representative whole-body bioluminescence images of LTX-315 treated and non treated lesions are presented.
Cured animals were re-challenged both s.c. and i.p with rTMSCs eight months later.
Conclusions
• Here we show for the first time that intralesional treatment of one single lesion with LTX-315 (OncoporeTM) is sufficient to cure animals with disseminated tumors.
• Systemic and long lasting protective immune responses was obtained in LTX-315 cured animals
• LTX-315 represents a novel intralesional therapeutic strategy with potential to induce clinical responses in metastatic diseases.
• A phase 1/2a study is in progress with LTX-315.
