Elicio Therapeutics Announces Publication of Preclinical Data Demonstrating TCR-T Cell Therapy in Combination with Lymph Node-Targeted Amphiphile-Immunotherapy Enhanced Anti-Tumor Function and Eradicated Solid Tumors

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, January 25, 2024

These preclinical data demonstrate that Elicio’s proprietary “AMP” lymph node-targeting immunotherapy platform, carrying cognate peptide and adjuvant cargos, boosted T cell receptor-modified T cell therapies (“TCR-T cells”) enhancing anti-tumor function and eradicating solid tumors.

Key Points: 
  • These preclinical data demonstrate that Elicio’s proprietary “AMP” lymph node-targeting immunotherapy platform, carrying cognate peptide and adjuvant cargos, boosted T cell receptor-modified T cell therapies (“TCR-T cells”) enhancing anti-tumor function and eradicating solid tumors.
  • “Optimization of TCR-T cell therapy could potentially have wide-ranging therapeutic benefits in many previously intractable solid tumors,” said Peter DeMuth, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer at Elicio Therapeutics.
  • “In this study, we’ve demonstrated that boosting TCR-T cell therapy directly in the lymph nodes with AMP immunotherapy resulted in durable anti-tumor T cell responses and tumor eradication.
  • AMP immunotherapy led to enhanced lymph node delivery and correlated with pro-inflammatory lymph node transcriptional reprogramming and increased antigen-presenting cell maturation, resulting in TCR-T cell expansion and functional enhancement.

  • “ELI-002 represents a cancer vaccine approach that could potentially address the much broader spectrum of pancreatic cancer KRAS mutations.
  • The Phase 2 study builds on positive findings from our 2-peptide formulation of ELI-002 published in Nature Medicine demonstrating a significantly improved decrease in tumor biomarkers, along with strong T cell responses that correlated with a reduced risk of relapse and death.
  • Initial interim data on ELI-002 7P monotherapy from Phase 1A arm will be shared in the first half of 2024.
