    RO7119929, a TLR7 agonist prodrug, induces local inflammation of the tumor microenvironment (TME) by reprogramming myeloid cells in patients (pts) with advanced primary or metastatic liver cancers (AACR 2023)
    Single-agent TLR7 agonist treatment of advanced primary or metastatic liver cancers induces local inflammation of the TME by reprogramming myeloid cells. Combination therapies may be needed to increase the relocation of antitumor CD8 T effector cells to the TME and unlock the full potential of the local immune stimulatory effect.

    A translational strategy employing physiologically based modeling to predict the pharmacological active dose of RO7119929, an oral prodrug of a targeted cancer immunotherapy TLR7 agonist. (PubMed, Xenobiotica)
    This defined the lowest pharmacologically active dose as 3 mg.The prodrug entered the clinic in 2020 in patients with primary or secondary liver cancers. Clear pharmacodynamic, transient and dose-dependent cytokine induction was observed at prodrug doses >1 mg.
