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.

PostPre
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
