Preclinical Studies Of Sb 11285, A Novel Sting Agonist For Immuno-Oncology.

e14616Background: The activation of innate and adaptive immunity via Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) signaling is a potentially transformative immuno-therapeutic strategy in cancer. We report here in vivo efficacy and safety studies of SB 11285. Methods: Tumor Growth Inhibition (TGI) and Tumor Growth Delay (TGD) studies in syngeneic mouse models were initiated when mean tumor volume (MTV) reached 100mm3: A20 Lymphoma: (10 animals/Group); (A) Saline; (B) 100µg SB 11285, intratumoral (i.t.), days 3,4,6,8,10; (C) 100mg/kg Cyclophosphamide, intraperitoneal (i.p), days 1,2; and (D) combination of cyclophosphamide+SB 11285. CT26 Colon Carcinoma experimental design is shown in Table. Re-challenge study was initiated in tumor-free animals in A20 lymphoma model on day 73, and monitored for an additional 45 days. Presence of activated immune cells intumor tissues was evaluated by immuno-histochemistry. Cytokine response was evaluated in serum after a single i.p. injection of SB 11285 at 10mg/kg.
