Intratumoral delivery of TransCon™ TLR7/8 Agonist promotes sustained anti-tumor activity and local immune cell activation while minimizing systemic cytokine induction

Our findings show that a single dose of TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist can mediate sustained local release of resiquimod in the TME and promote potent anti-tumor effects as monotherapy and in combination with systemic immunotherapy, supporting TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist as a novel intratumoral TLR agonist for cancer therapy. A clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist, as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab, in cancer patients is currently ongoing (transcendIT-101; NCT04799054).
