    Degradable hydrogel for sustained localized delivery of anti-tumor drugs. (PubMed, J Pharm Sci)
    Resiquimod, a TLR7/8 agonist, and axitinib, a vascular endothelial growth factor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, were chosen as anti-cancer drugs. In summary, TransCon Hydrogel technology allows localized sustained-release drug delivery for cancer therapy enabling high local drug concentrations while at the same time ensuring low systemic drug exposure over weeks with a single injection, which may improve the therapeutic index and improve efficacy, while minimizing systemic adverse events. A hydrogel prodrug of resiquimod, TransCon TLR7/8 agonist, is currently being investigated in clinical trials of patients with solid tumors (NCT04799054).
