“These new data build on our previous results demonstrating anti-tumor activity of OTX-2101 as a monotherapy in preclinical NSCLC models and highlight its potential ability to synergize with clinically validated strategies.

Key Points: 
  • “These new data build on our previous results demonstrating anti-tumor activity of OTX-2101 as a monotherapy in preclinical NSCLC models and highlight its potential ability to synergize with clinically validated strategies.
  • Combination of a MYC-targeting epigenomic controller (MYC-EC) with immune checkpoint or EGFR inhibitor enhanced anti-tumor activity.
  • Treatment with a MYC-EC plus an anti-PD-L1 antibody resulted in enhanced anti-tumor activity in a syngeneic mouse model of NSCLC.
  • Combination of MYC-EC with EGFR inhibitor, osimertinib, synergistically reduced tumor cell viability in vitro and significantly inhibited tumor growth in vivo in a human xenograft model of NSCLC.
