Clinical Results of INT230-6 for the Treatment of Metastatic or Refractory Cancers published in eBioMedicine
“This comprehensive paper is the culmination of over a decade of nonclinical and clinical research. The article describes the development of a new technology to destroy tumors using molecular agents that can disperse potent anti-cancer compounds within injected tumors and deliver them into cancer cells. We believe these are the first clinical results where a locally administered therapy used alone could potentially extend survival for patients with metastatic disease,” said Lewis H. Bender, Founder, President, and CEO of Intensity Therapeutics, Inc. “As Drs. Thomas and El-Khoueiry noted, our paper reports that INT230-6 injected into visible tumors in metastatic patients at an amount based on the size of the injected tumors supports the hypothesis that INT230-6 causes immunologic cancer cell death, even in cancers that are considered immunologically cold. Given the drug’s mechanism of action and the data reported in this paper from over 20 types of metastatic solid cancers, such as breast, sarcoma, pancreatic, lung, and head and neck, we believe the study results show the potential of INT230-6 to achieve clinical benefit for metastatic patients of multiple cancer types with or without the use of radiation, systemic drugs or immunotherapy. As a result, we have initiated randomized controlled studies, including a Phase 3 study in sarcoma (NCT06263231).”
