T cell clones expanded in blood are detected in post-treated tumors

• Clones expanding in blood are detected in post-treatment tumor biopsies; median 49%, 6 patients analyzed.

• In contrast, the expansion of pre-treatment-tumor associated clones is less in all but one patient; median 23%. 

• Contracted clones in blood were not detected in the tumor in 2 of the 6 patients.

Study Conclusions• LTX-315 converts “cold” tumors to “hot”, as evidences by increase of tumor

infiltrating lymphocytes (CD8+ T cells) and gene expression analysis.

• TCR clonality analysis of blood and tumors samples show that LTX-315 generates a systemic anti-tumor T cell response.

• LTX-315 is generally safe and tolerable. No MTD has been reached.

• Stable disease (SD) by irRC observed with LTX-315 mono therapy (8/15 pts)

• Durable SD by irRC observed (1/4 pts) with LTX-315 + ipilimumab (32 wks, ongoing)

• Partial Remission (PR) by irRC observed (1/8 pts) with LTX-315 + pembrolizumab (10 wks, ongoing)

• Results support the rationale and potential benefit of LTX-315 as a novel intratumoral immunotherapy; A phase II multi-arm combination trial is planned in 2018
