The benefits of combining an immunomodulator with a chemotherapy agent in chondrosarcoma-a proof of concept with mifamurtide. (PubMed, Med Oncol)
These results highlight the importance of TAMs in modulating treatment response. This study provides a preclinical proof of concept for the efficacy of combining mifamurtide with doxorubicin in managing chondrosarcoma, highlighting the potential of immunomodulator and chemotherapy co-treatment in improving treatment outcomes.

Is There a Role for Mifamurtide in Nonmetastatic High-Grade Osteosarcoma? Results From the Italian Sarcoma Group (ISG/OS-2) and Spanish Sarcoma Group (GEIS-33) Trials. (PubMed, J Clin Oncol)
In this merged analysis with a risk-adapted strategy for nonmetastatic osteosarcoma, the group with unfavorable prognoses, identified by Pgp expression, performed well when mifamurtide, combined with HDIFO in case of poor response, was administered after surgery.

Engineering Innate Immunity: Recent Advances and Future Directions for CAR-NK and CAR-Macrophage Therapies in Solid Tumors. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Early-phase clinical studies (e.g., CT-0508) demonstrate feasibility and TME remodeling with CAR-MΦ...Emerging combinatorial strategies, such as dual-effector regimens (CAR-NK+ CAR-MΦ), cytokine-modulated cross-support, and bispecific or logic-gated CARs, may overcome these barriers and provide more durable, tumor-selective responses. Taken together, CAR-NK and CAR-MΦ platforms are poised to expand the reach of engineered cell therapy into the solid tumor domain.

Tumor immune microenvironment-associated prognostic and mifamurtide-response gene signatures for localized osteosarcoma: a correlative study of the ISG/OS2 trial. (PubMed, Clin Cancer Res)
A validated osteosarcoma TME prognostic gene signature has been identified, regardless of mifamurtide treatment. Importantly, a mifamurtide-related signature was also developed. Tumor-immune interactions possibly implicated in disease progression and treatment response were shown.

Development of a novel bifunctional anti-CD47 fusion protein with improved efficacy and a favorable safety profile. (PubMed, Mol Cancer Ther)
The ability of CO-005 to trigger strong PCCD while preserving conventional immune responses provides a novel and promising approach for CD47-targeted cancer therapy. Its favorable safety profile, observed in both in vitro and ex vivo studies, positions CO-005 as a promising candidate with potential therapeutic advantages over existing anti-CD47 treatments.

Developing a 3D bone model of osteosarcoma to investigate cancer mechanisms and evaluate treatments. (PubMed, FASEB J)
Incubating bone cores with mifamurtide induced a reduction of cellular markers and an increase in bone volume. This 3D bone core model has the potential to investigate osteosarcoma tumor microenvironment and provides a representative model for evaluation of novel therapies.
