Intratumoral BO-112 in combination with radiotherapy synergizes to achieve CD8 T-cell-mediated local tumor control. (PubMed, J Immunother Cancer)
This study demonstrates that local BO-112 immunotherapy and focal irradiation may act in synergy to achieve local tumor control. Irradiation plus BO-112 in one of the tumor lesions enhanced the therapeutic effects on distant irradiated lesions that were not injected with BO-112, suggesting strategies to treat oligometastatic patients with lesions susceptible to radiotherapy and with at least one tumor accessible for repeated BO-112 intratumoral injections.

Radiation and intratumoral activation of double-stranded RNA sensors redirects myeloid cells and primes adaptive immunity (AACR 2022)
Local-only therapy of BO-112 and RT yields a lymphocyte-dependent anti-tumor immune response in an immunotherapy-resistant model of UPS. Longitudinal analysis of locoregional immune responses and adoptive transfer experiments indicate that combination BO-112 and RT induces tumor-to-dLN myeloid trafficking that may bridge an adaptive response and confer therapeutic effect.

[VIRTUAL] BO-112 as a modifier of the tumor microenvironment for liver metastases (AACR 2021)
Besides, PD‑L1 induced upregulation in response to BO-112, suggests the need to combine treatment with an anti-PD-1/PD-L1 agent. BO-112 has been injected intratumorally into the liver in 16 patients so far at two different studies: a phase I trial (NCT02828098, which included initially patients with solid tumors being treated with BO-112 monotherapy and, through subsequent amendment, in combination with anti PD-1 drugs in patients having developed progressive disease on these therapies, being treated with BO-112 plus the same checkpoint inhibitor) and a phase II study (NCT04508140), which is including patients with liver metastases from colorectal (CRC) or gastroesophageal (GE) origin, receiving IT BO-112 plus pembrolizumab. Liver is a challenging organ to achieve clinical benefit in terms of response; however, with IT BO-112 being administered in liver metastases from different tumors, there is a change in the TME with an increase in key biomarkers, which may overcome primary or secondary resistance to systemic immunotherapy.

Uncoupling interferon signaling and antigen presentation to overcome immunotherapy resistance due to JAK1 loss in melanoma. (PubMed, Sci Transl Med)
Through independent mechanisms, overexpression of NLRC5 (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family caspase recruitment domain containing 5) and intratumoral delivery of BO-112, a potent nanoplexed version of polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C), each restored the efficacy of ACT against B16-Jak1 tumors. In summary, we demonstrated that in the absence of tumor IFN signaling, MHC I expression is essential and sufficient for the efficacy of ACT. For tumors lacking MHC I expression due to deficient IFN signaling, activation of dsRNA sensors by BO-112 affords an alternative approach to restore the efficacy of ACT.

Immunotherapeutic effects of intratumoral nanoplexed poly I:C. (PubMed, J Immunother Cancer)
Genome-wide transcriptome analyses of injected tumor lesions were consistent with a marked upregulation of the type-I interferon pathway. Inspired by these data, intratumorally delivered BO-112 is being tested in cancer patients (NCT02828098).
