"In this preclinical study, we evaluated the antineoplastic activity of combination treatment with SoC chemotherapy (Pemetrexed, Cisplatin, Carboplatin) and ONCOS-102 in xenograft BALB/c model of human malignant mesothelioma. We demonstrated that ONCOS-102 is able to induce immunogenic cell death of human mesothelioma cell lines in vitro and showed anti-tumor activity in the treatment of refractory H226 malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) xenograft model. While chemotherapy alone showed no anti-tumor activity in the mesothelioma mouse model, ONCOS-102 was able to slow down tumor growth. Interestingly, a synergistic anti-tumor effect was seen when ONCOS-102 was combined with chemotherapy regimens. These findings give a rationale for the clinical testing of ONCOS-102
“slow” down tumor growth var jo igrunn det vi oppnådde i den ene pasienten som totalt levde 33 måneder også. “stabel disease”.
Verdt å nevne at de henviser til at begge pasientene fikk positive resultater, med Oncos som mono terapi. " Two end-stage MPM patients were included in Targovax’s Phase I basket trial testing ONCOS-102 as a single agent, with PROMISING results".
