BACKGROUND:

This phase III trial assessed daromun, a combination of two fibronectin-targeting immunocytokines (L19IL2 and L19TNF), as a neoadjuvant treatment for patients with clinically detectable stage IIIB/C melanoma [American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) version 7].

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

Patients were randomized to weekly intralesional daromun administrations (13 million IU of L19IL2 and 400 μg of L19TNF) for 4 weeks followed by surgery, or upfront surgery. Pretreatment with approved adjuvant agents was allowed. The primary endpoint was recurrence-free survival (RFS): events were disease recurrence or death from any cause after complete surgical tumor resection (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02938299).

RESULTS:

A total of 246 patients were randomized and included in the intention-to-treat analysis: 74% had undergone two or more prior surgical resections and 35% had received prior systemic therapy. At a median follow-up of 21 months, the neoadjuvant group (n = 122) had a significantly longer RFS than the upfront surgery group (n = 124), with a median RFS of 16.7 months and 6.8 months, respectively [hazard ratio (HR) 0.59, 95% confidence interval (CI 0.41-0.86), P = 0.005, log-rank test]. The risk of distant recurrence was reduced by 40% in the neoadjuvant arm (HR 0.60, 95% CI 0.37-0.95, P = 0.029). Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were 6.7% in the surgery-alone arm and 27.1% in the daromun arm, mostly injection site reactions.

CONCLUSIONS:

Neoadjuvant daromun resulted in a significantly longer RFS than upfront surgery in patients with locally advanced melanoma. TRAEs were transient and manageable. Neoadjuvant daromun is a new therapeutic option for patients with stage III melanoma, including those with locoregional recurrence after surgery and previous adjuvant therapy.

L19-IL2 reverts radiation-induced lymphopenia in a mouse model of lung cancer

Article

Author: Dubois, Ludwig J ; Prades-Sagarra, Èlia ; Staut, Nick ; Schuitmaker, Lesley ; Biemans, Rianne ; Yaromina, Ala ; Lieuwes, Natasja G ; van Hoof, Stefan J ; Verhaegen, Frank

PURPOSE:

Over half of radiotherapy-treated cancer patients develop radiation-induced lymphopenia (RIL). Severe RIL has been associated with worse prognosis and survival, and recent studies suggested that RIL also affects immunotherapy efficacy. We aimed to develop murine grade 2 (≥20 % decrease in absolute lymphocyte counts (ALC)) RIL models and to examine the effects of RIL on progression-free survival upon radiotherapy-immunotherapy treatment.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

C57BL6/J mice received heart, large blood vessels (LBV) or thoracic vertebrae irradiation (10 Gy) and ALC were monitored weekly. In tumour-bearing animals, Lewis Lung Carcinoma cells were injected subcutaneously one day prior to RIL induction. When tumours reached 212 ± 45 mm³, tumours were locally irradiated (10 Gy), and animals were injected with L19-IL2 (1 mg/kg, 3 times QOD) or vehicle intravenously. Tumour growth was monitored until reaching > 4 times treatment starting volume. Flow cytometry-based immune cell profiling was performed on blood collected 2 weeks post-tumour cell injection.

RESULTS:

Radiation treatment plans targeting lymphocyte-rich organs were optimized to achieve maximal target coverage while minimal dose to normal tissues. In naïve animals, LBV and vertebrae irradiation led to grade 2 RIL, however heart irradiation induced only grade 1 RIL. In tumour-bearing animals, RIL induction was confirmed by a 16 % and 20 % drop in ALC upon LBV and vertebrae irradiation, respectively. Grade 2 RIL did not negatively influence progression-free survival upon radiotherapy. Radiation combined with L19-IL2 induced a tumour growth delay compared to radiotherapy only (p < 0.0005). LBV or vertebrae irradiation did not affect radiotherapy-immunotherapy outcome, explained by the restored and increased lymphocyte and eosinophil counts upon L19-IL2 administration (p < 0.05). L19-IL2 increased inducible regulatory and CD8⁺ T cells, especially in vertebrae (p < 0.01) and LBV (p = 0.07) irradiated animals, respectively.

CONCLUSION:

Collectively, utilizing the developed murine RIL models, we observed that RIL did not negatively affect radiotherapy treatment outcome. L19-IL2 can be a promising strategy to restore lymphocyte counts and revert RIL.

The 'Antibodies to Watch' article series provides an annual summary of commercially sponsored monoclonal antibody therapeutics currently in late-stage clinical development, regulatory review, and those recently granted a first approval in any country. In this installment, we discuss key details for 16 antibody therapeutics granted a first approval in 2023, as of November 17 (lecanemab (Leqembi), rozanolixizumab (RYSTIGGO), pozelimab (VEOPOZ), mirikizumab (Omvoh), talquetamab (Talvey), elranatamab (Elrexfio), epcoritamab (EPKINLY), glofitamab (COLUMVI), retifanlimab (Zynyz), concizumab (Alhemo), lebrikizumab (EBGLYSS), tafolecimab (SINTBILO), narlumosbart (Jinlitai), zuberitamab (Enrexib), adebrelimab (Arelili), and divozilimab (Ivlizi)). We briefly review 26 product candidates for which marketing applications are under consideration in at least one country or region, and 23 investigational antibody therapeutics that are forecast to enter regulatory review by the end of 2024 based on company disclosures. These nearly 50 product candidates include numerous innovative bispecific antibodies, such as odronextamab, ivonescimab, linvoseltamab, zenocutuzumab, and erfonrilimab, and antibody-drug conjugates, such as trastuzumab botidotin, patritumab deruxtecan, datopotamab deruxtecan, and MRG002, as well as a mixture of two immunocytokines (bifikafusp alfa and onfekafusp alfa). We also discuss clinical phase transition and overall approval success rates for antibody therapeutics, which are crucial to the biopharmaceutical industry because these rates inform decisions about resource allocation. Our analyses indicate that these molecules have approval success rates in the range of 14-32%, with higher rates associated with antibodies developed for non-cancer indications. Overall, our data suggest that antibody therapeutic development efforts by the biopharmaceutical industry are robust and increasingly successful.

Intra-tumoral Cancer Therapies Market to Show Tremendous Growth at a CAGR of 31.3% During the Study Period (2020-2034) | DelveInsight

As per DelveInsight's estimates, among the 7MM, the US captured the highest market of intra-tumoral cancer therapies of nearly USD 74 million in 2024, which is expected to increase due to the launch of emerging therapies such as CAN-2409, RP1 (vusolimogene oderparepvec), SP-002 (ASN-002), Bizaxofusp (MDNA55), and others. LAS VEGAS, May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DelveInsight's Intra-tumoral Cancer Therapies Market report includes a comprehensive understanding of current treatment practices, emerging intra-tumoral cancer therapies, market share of individual therapies, and current and forecasted intra-tumoral cancer therapies market size from 2020 to 2034, segmented into 7MM [the United States, the EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), the United Kingdom, and Japan]. Key Takeaways from the Intra-tumoral Cancer Therapies Market Report Currently, only three Intra-tumoral Cancer Therapies are approved; namely, IMLYGIC (Talimogene laherparepvec/T-VEC; Amgen), approved in the US and Europe in 2015, DELYTACT (teserpaturev/G47Δ; Daiichi Sankyo) approved in Japan in 2021, and HENSIFY in Europe in 2019. As per DelveInsight's analysis, the total market size of intra-tumoral cancer therapies in the 7MM was USD 109 million in 2024 and is projected to grow during the forecast period (2025-2034). In 2024, the total cases of selected indication (based on current landscape and pipeline activity) were 8.9 million in the 7MM, which is anticipated to increase by 2034. Leading intra-tumoral cancer therapies companies, such as Janssen, Stamford Pharmaceuticals, Ascend Biopharmaceuticals, Replimune, Highlight Therapeutics, Cytovation ASA, Intensity Therapeutics, Ascendis Pharma, Treovir, Matica Biotechnology, QBiotics, NanOlogy, Lokon Pharma AB, EpicentRx, Medicenna Therapeutics, Philogen S.p.A., Candel Therapeutics, Lytix Biopharma, Verrica Pharmaceuticals, CEI-SCI, and others, and others, are developing novel intra-tumoral cancer therapies that are expected to enter the intra-tumoral cancer therapies market in the coming years. Some of the key intra-tumoral cancer therapies in the pipeline include INT230-6, Vusolimogene oderparepvec (RP1), Nidlegy (Daromun), G207, Ilixadencel (INTUVAX), Tigilanol tiglate, SP-002 (ASN-002), BO-112, Bizaxofusp (MDNA55), and others. In March 2025, NANOBIOTIX announced topline data from the completed dose-escalation portion of a Phase I study, conducted under the sponsorship of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, evaluating JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3) activated by radiation therapy as a second-line or later (2L+) treatment for patients with locally advanced NSCLC eligible for re-irradiation. In March 2025, NANOBIOTIX announced an amendment to its global licensing agreement with Janssen Pharmaceutica NV. The amendment removes NANOBIOTIX's funding obligation for NANORAY- 312 and releases Johnson & Johnson from select future potential milestone payments while safeguarding NANOBIOTIX's path to sustainable cash flow through significant potential milestone payments. In March 2025, Candel Therapeutics and IDEA Pharma announced a strategic commercial partnership. Under this agreement, IDEA will provide strategic commercial input throughout the development and commercialization process for Candel's lead asset, CAN-2409. In January 2025, Lokon Pharma AB announced that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had granted Fast Track Designation (FTD) for the company's product candidate LOAd703 for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. In January 2025, Intensity Therapeutics announced that the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) recommended the continuation of its Phase III sarcoma trial (INT230-6, INVINCIBLE-3) without modification based on data reviewed from July 2024 to December 2024. Some factors, such as the precedence of failure of emerging therapies, insufficient knowledge about Intra-tumoral Cancer Therapies , and several other drawbacks, might hinder the Intra-tumoral Cancer Therapies market growth. Discover which therapies are expected to grab the intra-tumoral cancer therapies market share @ Intra-tumoral Cancer Therapies Market Report Intra-tumoral Cancer Therapies Market Dynamics The intra-tumoral cancer therapies market dynamics are expected to change in the coming years. Various classes of intra-tumoral immunotherapies, including radioenhancer nanoparticles, recombinant fusion proteins, oncolytic therapy, gene therapy, synthetic dsRNA complexes, and others, are currently in preclinical and clinical development. These therapies increase drug concentration and availability within the tumor microenvironment while limiting systemic exposure and reducing the likelihood of immune-related side effects in other parts of the body. Intra-tumoral therapeutic strategies offer a powerful approach to in situ vaccine development, utilizing immune-stimulating agents to trigger local and systemic anti-tumor immune responses. Additionally, the ability of intra-tumoral immunotherapy combinations to elicit both T-cell and B-cell antitumor responses presents a potential strategy to overcome immune escape mechanisms, such as the loss of HLA-I expression on tumor cells, which are often associated with immune checkpoint therapy monoclonal antibody monotherapies. Furthermore, potential therapies are being investigated, and it is safe to predict that the treatment space will significantly impact the intra-tumoral cancer therapies market during the forecast period. Moreover, the anticipated introduction of emerging therapies with improved efficacy and a further improvement in the diagnosis rate are expected to drive the growth of the intra-tumoral cancer therapies market in the 7MM. However, several factors may impede the growth of the intra-tumoral cancer therapies market. The lack of standardized guidelines for intra-tumoral immunotherapy delivery results in variations in lesion selection, injection frequency, and needle technique, which directly affect treatment outcomes and safety. Patients are required to visit clinics for each dosing session, and the administration necessitates both trained radiologists and logistics support alongside skilled physicians. While research into intra-tumoral therapies has grown in recent years, several therapies, such as tilsotolimod/Ipilimumab, sotigalimab (APX005M), and vidutolimod (CMP-001), have failed clinical trials, impacting the market. Additionally, tumors with high intra-tumoral heterogeneity may lead to poorer clinical outcomes for patients. Intra-tumoral Cancer Therapies Therapeutics Market Although significant progress has been made in cancer treatment through methods like surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies, many of these treatments still face limitations such as systemic toxicity, inadequate tumor penetration, and poor targeting. These issues contribute to high mortality rates, underscoring the need for more precise and localized treatment options. Recently, cancer treatment strategies have increasingly focused on alternative delivery methods, including intra-tumoral administration. This approach is being actively researched, with several therapeutic candidates—such as immune receptor agonists, viral therapies, fusion proteins, monoclonal antibodies, and gene therapies—currently undergoing preclinical and clinical trials. Intra-tumoral immunotherapy, which involves directly delivering agents into or near the tumor site, is emerging as a promising approach. This strategy aims to boost localized immune responses while reducing systemic side effects. The first oncolytic virus, IMLYGIC (T-Vec; Amgen), was approved by the US FDA for treating unresectable melanoma lesions after surgery, following a Phase III trial. The European Commission approved the treatment of advanced melanoma in 2015. In 2019, Nanobiotix's HENSIFY (NBTXR3), a hafnium oxide nanoparticle therapy combined with radiation, received European approval for soft tissue sarcoma, with plans for data releases through 2025-2026 across multiple cancers. For STS the drug is approved in Europe but not yet launched. In Japan, DELYTACT (G47∆; Daiichi Sankyo) was granted conditional approval for malignant glioma, marking the first oncolytic virus for brain cancer, and is still under evaluation for its clinical benefits. IMLYGIC from Amgen is the first and only FDA-approved viral therapy that is injected directly into melanoma tumors. Despite the initial hype for this exciting intra-tumoral mode of cancer gene therapy, IMLYGIC's debut did not translate into much commercial success in the melanoma market. Limitations of the intra-tumoral administration, no statistically significant benefit in overall survival (OS), and the intense competition from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) due to their efficacy and manageable side effects are some of the main factors for ithe nsignificant revenues of this novel therapy. Learn more about the FDA-approved intra-tumoral cancer therapies @ Intra-tumoral Cancer Therapies Treatment Key Emerging Intra-tumoral Cancer Therapies and Companies The emerging pipeline of intra-tumoral cancer therapies is robust, including drugs from key players such as Candel Therapeutics (CAN-2409), Lytix Biopharma/Verrica Pharmaceuticals (LTX-315 [VP-315]), CEI-SCI (MULTIKINE), Philogen (Daromun [NIDLEGY; a combo of L19IL2 + L19TNF]), Replimune (RP2 and RP1 [vusolimogene oderparepvec]), Highlight Therapeutics (BO-112), Cytovation ASA (CY-101), Intensity Therapeutics (INT230-6), Ascendis Pharma (TransCon IL-2 β⁄γ), Treovir/Matica Biotechnology (G207), QBiotics (Tigilanol tiglate), NanOlogy (NanoPac), EpicentRx (AdAPT-001), Medicenna Therapeutics (Bizaxofusp [MDNA55]), and others. RP1 (vusolimogene oderparepvec), Replimune's lead product candidate, is based on a proprietary strain of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) engineered with a fusogenic protein (GALV-GP R-) and GM-CSF to enhance tumor killing potency, immunogenicity, and activation of a systemic antitumor immune response. In November 2024, Replimune announced that the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) to RP1 in combination with nivolumab for the treatment of advanced melanoma in adult patients who have previously received an anti-PD1 regimen. Nidlegy is a biopharmaceutical product, proprietary to Philogen, designed for the treatment of skin cancer. It consists of two active ingredients, L19IL2 and L19TNF, which are manufactured independently and which are mixed prior to intralesional administration. In July 2024, Philogen and Sun Pharmaceutical announced that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) validated the submission of the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for Nidlegy. CAN-2409 (Candel Therapeutics) is an investigational, off-the-shelf, replication-defective adenovirus designed to deliver the HSV thymidine kinase (HSV-tk) gene to a patient's specific tumor and induce an individualized, systemic immune response against the tumor. In March 2025, according to the company's corporate highlights, the preparations for Biologics License Application (BLA) for CAN-2409 in prostate cancer are underway, with submission expected in Q4 2026. The anticipated launch of these emerging therapies are poised to transform the intra-tumoral cancer therapies market landscape in the coming years. As these cutting-edge therapies continue to mature and gain regulatory approval, they are expected to reshape the intra-tumoral cancer therapies market landscape, offering new standards of care and unlocking opportunities for medical innovation and economic growth. To know more about intra-tumoral cancer therapies clinical trials, visit @ Intra-tumoral Cancer Therapies Intra-tumoral Cancer Therapies Overview Cancer is a highly diverse disease, with its signs, symptoms, and treatments varying across different types, making it crucial to create targeted therapies for individual patients. Current treatment options for cancer include immunotherapy, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted drug therapies, and more. While these approaches have improved OS and patient outcomes, they still have limitations and are not effective for everyone. Researchers are therefore working to develop new treatments that can overcome these challenges, with intra-tumoral cancer therapies emerging as a promising strategy. Intra-tumoral immunotherapy represents an innovative approach, where sophisticated antibodies are directly injected into tumors instead of being administered intravenously. This method focuses on delivering immunostimulatory agents straight into primary or metastatic tumor sites to initiate or enhance an antitumor immune response. Normally, the immune system detects and eliminates early tumors, but in immunosuppressive tumor environments, malignant cells can proliferate undetected. Regulatory T cells (Tregs), drawn to the tumor by chemokines, suppress Antigen-Presenting Cells (APCs) that would otherwise trigger an immune attack on tumor antigens. Moreover, tumor cells often release anti-inflammatory and regulatory cytokines like TGF-β and IL-10, which promote tumor growth and inhibit dendritic cell (DC) activation. To counteract this immunosuppressive environment, immunostimulants can be introduced. These agents work by attracting immune cells to the tumor or by activating the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. Immunostimulants activate immune cells in the presence of tumor antigens, allowing them to travel to lymph nodes, where they stimulate tumor antigen-specific T cells through cross-presentation. These activated T cells can then return to the tumor or spread to distant tumors, leading to the targeted destruction of cancer cells. Intra-tumoral Cancer Therapies Epidemiology Segmentation In 2024, the total indication-wise treated cases of Intra-tumoral Cancer Therapies were 3.3 million in the 7MM, which is anticipated to increase by 2034.

A total of 256 patients were enrolled across 22 clinical centres in Germany, Italy, France and Poland. Credit: Gorodenkoff / Shutterstock. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has validated Philogen and Sun Pharmaceutical’s marketing authorisation application (MAA) for Nidlegy, a treatment for melanoma. Nidlegy is an investigational treatment for neoadjuvant (before surgical procedure) locally advanced fully resectable melanoma. The application, submitted on 4 June 2024, is based on data from the Phase III PIVOTAL study and a Phase II trial. The international, multicentre, randomised, comparator-controlled, parallel-group PIVOTAL trial assessed the efficacy and safety of Nidlegy as a neoadjuvant treatment in melanoma patients with locally advanced, fully resectable cutaneous, subcutaneous or nodal metastases accessible to intratumoural injection. A total of 256 patients were enrolled across 22 clinical centres in Italy, Germany, France and Poland. See Also: CAN-3110 by Candel Therapeutics for High-Grade Glioma: Likelihood of Approval ICTCAR-028 by Innovative Cellular Therapeutics for Hematological Tumor: Likelihood of Approval Results from the PIVOTAL trial showed that Nidlegy reduced the relapse or mortality risk by 41% versus the control arm, with a significant improvement in median recurrence-free survival and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS). Nidlegy’s safety profile was characterised by mostly low-grade, local adverse events. No grade 3 or grade 4 immune-related adverse events or drug-related deaths were recorded. Nidlegy is a biopharmaceutical product of Philogen, designed to treat skin cancer through intralesional administration of two active ingredients, L19IL2 and L19TNF. These ingredients are pro-inflammatory cytokines with potent anti-tumour activity. Nidlegy is also being investigated in additional Phase III trials for locally advanced melanoma and Phase II trials for high-risk basal cell carcinoma and other non-melanoma skin cancers. Philogen CEO and chief scientific officer Dario Neri stated: “The validation of the dossier by the EMA represents the first important milestone for the MAA review process.” “Our group is committed to working with EMA throughout the review process to make Nidlegy available to patients in need.”
