The lead author reported that the treatment with LB-100 is associated with new antigen production, tumor infiltration of cytotoxic T cells, and enhanced responsiveness to immune checkpoint blockade in mouse models of colorectal, triple-negative breast, and pancreatic cancer. The clinical data indicate that PP2A inhibition can be used to change the intrinsic and extrinsic factors of tumors to improve the success rate of anti-cancer immunotherapy.
LIXT resume patient enrollment for LB-100
On November 22, 2021, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) resumed enrolling patients into their pharmacologic study of the ability of Lixte’s lead compound, LB-100, to enter the brain and penetrate recurrent, malignant brain tumors, in patients where surgical removal of their cancer is indicated.
The enrollment was suspended in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The NCI can enroll up to 20 patients to obtain 8 evaluable subjects. If at least 1 of 5 demonstrates the presence of LB-100 in tumor tissue, 3 additional subjects will be enrolled. The study will be considered significant if at least 2 of the 8 patients demonstrate LB-100 in tumor tissue.
