Neoadjuvant intratumoral plasmid interleukin-12 electro-gene-transfer and nivolumab in patients with operable locoregionally advanced melanoma. (PubMed, Clin Cancer Res)
The clinical efficacy of neoadjuvant IT TAVO-EP + nivolumab is promising with 80% of patients achieving an MPR. Evidence of potent immune activation both systemically and within the TME along with a favorable safety profile supports the activity of local IL-12 and anti-PD1 based regimens.

Tumoral and systemic immune modulation with neoadjuvant (NeoAd) intratumoral (IT) TAVO-EP (plasmid IL-12 electro gene transfer) and nivolumab (NIVO) in patients (pts) with operable locoregionally advanced melanoma (AACR 2024)
At baseline, most patients exhibited low CD8+ TIL, PD-L1 and TIS, with enhanced immune activation following treatment in the TME and blood including increased immune-related gene expression, CD8+ TIL, peritumoral CD8+ T cells and TIS. Four of 5 pts with negative predictive baseline biomarkers [CD8+TIL/PD-L1/TIS]low experienced pCRs supporting activity of IL12/anti-PD1 based regimens in this setting.

Amplification of the CXCR3/CXCL9 axis via intratumoral electroporation of plasmid CXCL9 synergizes with plasmid IL-12 therapy to elicit robust anti-tumor immunity. (PubMed, Mol Ther Oncolytics)
Collectively, these data demonstrate that a functional tumoral CXCR3/CXCL9 axis is critical for IL-12 anti-tumor efficacy. Furthermore, restoring or amplifying the CXCL9 gradient in the tumors via intratumoral electroporation of plasmid CXCL9 can not only result in efficient trafficking of cytotoxic CD8 T cells into the tumor but can also reshape the microenvironment to promote systemic immune response.

Durable responses with intratumoral electroporation of plasmid interleukin-12 plus pembrolizumab in patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer: Cohort 1 update from KEYNOTE-890 (SABCS 2021)
The combination of TAVO-EP and pembrolizumab in pretreated patients with advanced TNBC resulted in durable RECIST v1.1 responses, including in PD-L1-negative disease, and was well tolerated. This novel immunotherapeutic regimen warrants further evaluation in 2L+ advanced TNBC. Cohort 2 exploring TAVO‑EP + pembrolizumab + chemotherapy in frontline TNBC is currently enrolling.

[VIRTUAL] Intratumoral electroporation of plasmid-encoded IL-12 and membrane-bound anti-CD3 increases tumor immunogenicity and augments the function of T cell subsets (AACR-II 2020)
Intratumoral (IT) delivery of plasmid IL-12 (tavokinogene telseplasmid; tavo) via electroporation (EP), collectively referred as IT-tavo-EP, generates immunologically-relevant levels of localized IL-12, triggering regression of both treated and distant tumors with minimal toxicity in preclinical and clinical studies...Moreover, functional restoration of TIL isolated from a melanoma patient with active clinical progression on anti-PD-1 therapy, was possible with engagement of membrane-bound αCD3 in the presence of IL-12. Collectively, these data continue to support the utility of IT-tavo-αCD3-EP as a promising therapeutic approach for patients with melanoma and other accessible solid tumors.
