ARMING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM TO FIGHT CANCER
PHASE II SAFETY RESULTS AND ANTI-TUMOR ACTIVITY †
ImmunoPulseTM is an investigational platform designed to deliver DNAbased therapeutics directly into the tumor microenvironment to help
fight cancer
ImmunoPulse™ IL-12 was generally safe and well-tolerated
across multiple treatment cycles with no treatment-related
serious adverse events reported. The most common treatmentrelated adverse event reported (87%) was mild to moderate
pain at the treatment site.
Clinical development with ImmunoPulseTM focuses on intratumoral
delivery of DNA expressing interleukin-12 (IL-12), a naturally occurring
protein with immune-stimulating functions
This proprietary technology employs electroporation, which increases the
permeability of the cell membrane, permitting the DNA to enter the cell
Preliminary data shows ImmunoPulseTM can generate an initial local
immune response as well as a systemic effect and laid the groundwork
for expansion into combination therapy approaches
