Summary Dabigatran, a specific, reversible direct thrombin inhibitor, is used to prevent ischaemic and haemorrhagic strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation. As every anticoagulant, there need rapidly reverse its effects emergency situations. In an open-label, single-centre phase I study two fixed multiple dosing periods, we investigated the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics safety of dabigatran before, during after 4 hour haemodialysis sessions either 200 or 400 ml/min targeted blood...

The oncofetal antigen Claudin 6 (CLDN6) is highly and specifically expressed in many solid tumors, could be a promising treatment target. We report dose escalation results from the ongoing phase 1/2 BNT211-01 trial evaluating safety feasibility of chimeric receptor (CAR) T cells targeting CLDN6 with or without CAR-T cell-amplifying RNA vaccine (CARVac) at two levels (DLs) relapsed/refractory CLDN6-positive tumors. primary endpoints were tolerability, maximum tolerated recommended 2 (RP2D)....

Abstract Background: BNT211 comprises two drug products, a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell product candidate that targets the tumor specific claudin 6 (CLDN6) and CAR-T cell-Amplifying RNA Vaccine (CARVac). In mice, CARVac mediates expansion of adoptively transferred cells, improving their persistence functionality. aims to establish therapy for CLDN6-positive solid tumors. Methods: This first-in-human, open label, multi-center trial involves bifurcated 3+3 design with CLDN6 dose...

<h3>Background</h3> BNT211 is a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell product candidate that targets the tumor specific Claudin-6 (CLDN6). Preclinical studies demonstrated combining these engineered cells with CAR-T Amplifying RNA Vaccine (CARVac) leads to in vivo expansion of adoptively transferred cells, resulting their improved persistence and functionality. <h3>Methods</h3> This first-in-human, open label, multi-center trial involves bifurcated 3+3 design separate CLDN6 dose escalations...

2562 Background: Tumors produce high levels of extracellular adenosine which suppress anti-tumor immune responses. Blocking A 2A receptors, predominantly expressed on tumor-infiltrating cells, can reverse the immunosuppressive effect adenosine. Inupadenant is a non brain-penetrant, potent and highly selective small molecule antagonist receptor that remains active even at concentrations found in tumors. Methods: This phase I portion an ongoing first-in-human, clinical trial (NCT02740985) to...

3090 Background: VV1 (Voyager V1) is derived from VSV, an RNA virus with low human seroprevalence, engineered to replicate selectively in and kill cancer cells. In Part 1 of this study, we demonstrated the safety intratumoral dose-response, using serum IFNβ as a biomarker; observed viral replication tumor concomitant lymphocyte/neutrophil trafficking (SITC 2018). 2 other studies suggested greater efficacy higher levels IV administration. Longer infusion durations were reported mitigate...

Tumors may present either as non-muscle-invasive (NMIBC) or muscle-invasive disease (MIBC). Current standard care for patients with high risk NMIBC includes transurethral resection bladder tumor (TURBT) followed by intravesical immunotherapy Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG). Meanwhile, BCG unresponsive MIBC are recommended to undergo radical cystectomy (RC),...

TPS3161 Background: VV1 is an oncolytic vesicular stomatitis virus engineered to express human IFNβ enhance cellular anti-tumor immune responses and tumor selectivity, the sodium iodide symporter (NIS) for tracking by SPECT imaging. Cancer cells are often hyporesponsive IFNβ, enabling efficient spread of resulting in increased oncolysis. Differently from other viruses, suitable both intra-tumoral (IT) and/or intra-venous (IV) administration. Despite considerable activity with checkpoint...
