Dr. Twitty’s presentation, titled "Reversing Resistance to Definitive Anti-PD-1 Failures with Intratumoral IL-12 and Pembrolizumab Combination Therapy," will focus on approaches to overcome immune resistance mechanisms in cancer, namely reinvigorating T cell exhaustion with DNA-based cytokines, chemokines and T cell engaging antibodies.
Specifically, Dr. Twitty’s presentation will highlight:
Immunological data from OncoSec’s biomarker program taken from the OMS-102, KEYNOTE-695 (metastatic melanoma), and KEYNOTE-890 (metastatic triple negative breast cancer) clinical studies;
Developments associated with OncoSec’s visceral lesion applicator (VLA) and its next-generation plasmids;
Therapeutic rationale for intratumoral delivery of IL-12 for treatment across multiple solid tumor types.
The presentation will be made during the Combinations Strategies and Clinical Trials in Immuno-Oncology track, which is part of Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s Third Annual Clinical Innovation for Combination Immunotherapy meeting.
