BACKGROUND AND METHODS

  • Metastatic soft tissue sarcomas are a deadly and diverse group of solid tumors derived from mesenchymal cells; highly toxic chemotherapy provides only limited benefit and immunotherapy to date has shown to be mostly ineffective as treatment.
  • A new localized method of cancer killing has been created using a novel formulation (INT230-6)consisting of cisplatin (CIS),vinblastine (VIN) and a diffusion enhancer molecule (SHAO) specifically designed to enable drug dispersion throughout a tumor and cancer cell penetration via a passive process following intratumoral (IT) injection.
  • The drug causes apoptosis and necrosis resulting in dendritic & T-cells flux to the tumor.
  • IT-01is an open-label phase 1/2 study in adults with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic solid tumors, including sarcoma. INT230-6 dose was set by tumor diameter or volume and was given IT Q2W for up to 5 doses alone or with IPI IV at 3mg/kg Q3 weeks for 4 doses. Maintenance dosing of INT230-6 was Q9W.
  • Previously reported results showed INT230-6 alone induced tumor regression in uninjected lesions1 (an abscopal effect) in multiple cancer types both immunogenic (hot) and non-immunogenic(cold) with T-cellinfiltrates identified within the tumor.

Primary Outcome Measures for Phase 1/2 study: Assess the preliminary efficacy of INT230-6 alone or in combination with immunotherapy as measured by overall survival and disease control rate in specific cancer types.

INT230-6is a locally delivered cytotoxic treatment leading to a systemic immune response in hot or cold tumors, and is a new way to treat sarcoma

Compared to synthetic controls2 INT230-6 alone extended survival in refractory soft tissue sarcoma subjects by about 14.9 months with favorable safety; using higher dose relative to presenting tumor burden OS is increased and may be further improved with the addition of IPI

Censored

Dosing relative to presenting total tumor burden (TTB) show increased survival with higher drug volume loaded for sarcoma subjects administered INT230-6 with or without ipilimumab compared to a synthetic control2. Abscopal responses for INT230-6 alone (previously reported) were primarily in subjects dosed ≥ 40% of TTB. The disease control rate (DCR; Stable disease + partial response + complete response divided by number of subjects) for the all-treated population (those who received at least one dose of INT230-6) was 93% for monotherapy and 86% for the ipi combo. For combo, one subject had yet to reach first timepoint for SD.
