Immune response markers following combination treatment with oncolytic adenovirus AMUN-003 and immune checkpoint inhibitors in a murine model of triple negative breast cancer (AACR 2023)
The “Triplet” combination of AMUN-003, anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies was associated with decrease of poor prognosis biomarkers in serum: TGF-β1: Triplet p< 0.001, ICIs p<0.01, AMUN-003 p< 0.05; IL-27p28/IL-30: Triplet and ICIs p< 0.05; IL-1β: Triplet, AMUN-003, ICIs, and AMUN-003+anti-CTLA-4 p< 0.05; TNF-α: Triplet p< 0.01, ICIs p<0.05, and increase of immune stimulatory IFN-γ: Triplet p<0.01 (all compared to the buffer). In lung tissue, no significant changes in cytokine/chemokine expression were detected, however Granzyme B levels were significantly increased in Triplet: p< 0.05. In spleen, we detected increased cytokine expression (IL-2: Triplet, anti-CTLA-4, AMUN-003+anti-PD-1 p< 0.05; IL-4: Triplet p< 0.001, AMUN-003+anti-PD-1, AMUN-003+anti-CTLA-4: p< 0.01).

Targeting TGF-β and over-expressing GM-CSF in the Tumor Microenvironment (TME) with AMUN-003 Inhibits Tumor Growth and Metastases and Augments Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (ICI) Response in Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) (SABCS 2022)
In syngeneic immune competent animals harboring an aggressive TNBC tumor, single agent Amun-003 appeared safe and was more effective at controlling tumor progression following an intratumoral injection when compared to other tested adenovirus constructs. In the same model, combinations of ICI with Amun-003 resulted in delayed tumor growth and control of metastatic spread. These results with Amun- 003 support advancement to human clinical testing.
