Abstract Purpose: TILT-123 (igrelimogene litadenorepvec) is an oncolytic adenovirus armed with TNFa and IL2, designed to induce T-cell infiltration cytotoxicity in solid tumors. Patients Methods: TUNIMO (NCT04695327) was a single-arm, multicenter phase I dose-escalation trial assess the safety of advanced cancers refractory standard therapy. received intravenous intratumoral TILT-123. The primary endpoint by adverse events (AE), laboratory values, vital signs, electrocardiograms. Secondary...
Abstract Immune checkpoint inhibitors have demonstrated modest efficacy as a monotherapy in ovarian cancer. Originally developed to improve of T-cell therapies such immune and adoptive cell transfer, TILT-123 (Ad5/3-E2F-D24-hTNFα-IRES-hIL-2) is serotype chimeric oncolytic adenovirus encoding tumor necrosis factor alpha interleukin-2. Here we report results from phase 1a PROTA, single-arm, multicentre dose escalation trial with pembrolizumab female patients platinum resistant or refractory...
Background Oncolytic viruses (OVs) are promising immunotherapeutics to treat immunologically cold tumors. However, research on the mechanism of action OVs in humans and clinically relevant biomarkers is still sparse. To induce strong T-cell responses against solid tumors, TILT-123 (Ad5/3-E2F-d24-hTNFa-IRES-hIL2, igrelimogene litadenorepvec) was developed. encodes two transgenes: tumor necrosis alpha (TNFa) interleukin-2 (IL-2). TUNIMO ( NCT04695327 ) a phase I clinical trial using patients...
ABSTRACT Dictyostelium discoideummyosin Ik (MyoK) is a novel type of myosin distinguished by remarkable architecture. MyoK related to class I myosins but lacks cargo-binding tail domain and carries an insertion in surface loop suggested modulate motor velocity. This shows similarity secondary actin-binding site present the some myosins, indeed GST-loop construct binds actin. Probably as consequence, binding actin was not only ATP-but also salt-dependent. Moreover, both sites reside within...
Actin dynamics and myosin (Myo) contractile forces are necessary for formation closure of the phagocytic cup. In Dictyostelium, actin-binding protein Abp1 IK enriched in closing cup especially at an actin-dense constriction furrow formed around neck engulfed budded yeasts. This consists concentric overlapping rings MyoK, Abp1, Arp3, coronin, II, following order strikingly reminiscent overall organization lamellipodium migrating cells. Mutation analyses MyoK revealed that both a C-terminal...
Abstract Background: Ad5/3-E2F-D24-hTNFa-IRES-hIL-2 (TILT-123) is an oncolytic adenovirus armed with TNFa and IL-2. The cytokine pairing demonstrated superior tumor immunomodulation in preclinical studies. Subsequent studies supported evaluation of TILT-123 PROTA, a phase 1 study combination pembrolizumab platinum resistant or refractory ovarian cancer patients. Biomarker analysis ongoing. Experimental procedures: In this 1a dose escalation trial (NCT05271318), 15 patients received initial...
9518 Background: Metastatic melanoma refractory to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) remains a significant challenge. Adoptive Cell Transfer of Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes (ACT-TILs) shows promise but can cause adverse events. Oncolytic adenovirus TILT-123 (igrelimogene litadenorepvec) coding for TNF and IL2 combined with ACT-TILs, offers an approach without conditioning therapies. We report long-term survival data from phase I trial (TUNINTIL NCT04217473), correlative clinical,...
Phagocytosis plays a fundamental role in the immune system for defense against invading microorganisms and clearing of apoptotic cancerous cells. The common amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is recognized model professional phagocytes now commonly used to study host-pathogen interactions. genetically biochemically tractable most versatile experimental system. classical protocol purifying phagosomes formed by ingestion latex beads particles has been adapted Dictyostelium. It was improved yield,...
Abstract: The identification of tumor‐specific proteins located at the plasma membrane is hampered by numerous methodological pitfalls many which are associated with post‐translational modification such proteins. Here, we present a new combination detergent fractionation cells and subtractive suppression hybridization (SSH) to gain overexpressed genes coding for membrane‐associated or secreted Fractionation subcellular components digitonin allowed sequestering mRNA rough Endoplasmatic...
Abstract Background TILT-123 (Ad5/3-E2F-D24-hTNFα-IRES-hIL-2) is a serotype chimeric dual safety device oncolytic adenovirus armed with tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-2. It was designed to improve efficacy of T-cell therapies such as immune checkpoint blockade or adoptive cell transfer. We present biological immunological endpoints from an open-label phase 1 dose escalation study in combination anti-PD-1 pembrolizumab platinum resistant refractory ovarian cancer patients....
