TILT Biotherapeutics will present data at the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024.

The data presented covers the results of a Phase I clinical cohort of TILT-123 monotherapy for the treatment of advanced solid cancers, demonstrating the regimen is safe, resulting in tumor transduction and immunological effects in metastases. A fully intravenous delivery regimen of TILT-123 was studied in a total of 6 patients, whose cancer types included three rectal carcinomas, gastric intestinal type carcinoma, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and liposarcoma. TILT-123 was administered twice daily, first twice a week and subsequently at 3-week intervals. Of patients evaluable by imaging by data cutoff, disease control was seen in 33% of patients with RECIST1.1 and 66% of patients with PET-based criteria. Updated data will be presented at the meeting.

We are moving according to our plan towards Phase II and making good clinical progress.

“This data presented at ESMO 2024 provides additional validation on the potential of TILT-123 as fully intravenous therapy in very difficult to treat patient population. I am also proud of our progress with two other studies investigating the fully intravenous regimen of TILT-123. We are moving according to our plan towards Phase II and making good clinical progress,” says Akseli Hemminki, TILT Biotherapeutics’ founder and CEO.

TILT-123

TILT-123, an oncolytic adenovirus armed with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and interleukin-2 (IL-2), is designed to enhance the efficacy of T-cell therapies, including immune checkpoint blockade or adoptive cell transfer. TILT’s approach uses oncolytic viruses to selectively replicate in and lyse cancer cells, while simultaneously stimulating immune responses towards the tumor.
