PF-04136309

Consequently, we developed a macrophage-based proteolipid vesicle (mPLV) coencapsulating the CCR2 antagonist PF-4136309 (PF) and gemcitabine (GEM), named PF/GEM@mPLV. PF/GEM@mPLV markedly inhibits tumor recurrence following iIRE, diminishes hepatic metastases, and prolongs survival in preclinical PDAC models. These findings uncover the role of CCR2+ TAMs in iIRE-induced immunosuppression, offering a promising strategy to enhance the clinical potential of IRE in PDAC.

Analysis of a phase Ib trial FOLFIRINOX in combination with a CCR2 inhibitor (PF-04136309; NCT01413022) , we found that in patients with classical tumors, increasing permCAF probability was associated with response (r = -0.688, p<0.001)...DeCAF subtypes are associated with histological subtype in MESO (p = 0.021) and grade in KIRC (p = 0.056). Taken together, DeCAF subtypes explain the role of CAF subtypes in patients, provide a foundation for the translation of preclinical studies, and facilitate the design of future therapeutic approaches and clinical trials.

Through the combination of computer modeling and experimental screening, we developed a dual delivery modality by incorporating a CCR2 (the receptor shared by both CCL2 and CCL7) antagonist PF-6309 (PF) into PGEM micellar system. Our work has shed light to the multi-faceted role of STING activation and provided a novel immunotherapy regimen to maximize the benefit of STING activation for PDAC treatment. In addition, this work paved a new way for bioinformatics and computer modeling-guided rational design of nanomedicine.
