Advanced Melanoma Emerging Drugs Chapters
This segment of the Advanced Melanoma report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including Phase III, II, I, Preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.
Emerging Drugs
Vusolimogene oderparepvec: Replimune
Vusolimogene oderparepvec (RP1) is based on a proprietary strain of herpes simplex virus and is genetically prepared with a fusogenic protein, GALV-GP R- and GM-CSF. The drug is intended to maximize tumor killing potency, the immunogenicity of tumor cell death, and the activation of a systemic anti-tumor immune response. The unique formulation of RP1 includes a fusogenic protein, GALV-GP R-, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), which work synergistically to maximize the therapeutic effects. RP1 has also been granted Priority review by the FDA in combination with Nivolumab to treat advanced melanoma. Currently, the drug is in Registration stage of its development for the treatment of Advanced Melanoma.
IO102-IO103: IO Biotech
IO102-IO103 combines our two wholly owned T-win vaccines, IO102 and IO103, that are designed to activate and expand T cells specific for IDO1 and PD-L1, respectively. IDO1 and/or PD-L1 are overexpressed by many types of solid tumors and immune-suppressive cells (Tregs and TAMs) in the TME. By combining IO102 and IO103, the product is intended to have a synergistic effect on cells in the TME that express IDO1 and/or PD-L1, leading to enhanced cell killing. In clinical trials, IO-102-IO-103 plus nivolumab achieved rapid, deep, and durable responses, even in patients with one or more poor prognostic factors (e.g., M1c, and high LDH), without increasing high-grade adverse events over anti-PD-1 therapy alone. The FDA has also granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for IO102-IO103 in combination with an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody for patients with advanced melanoma. Currently, the drug is in Phase III stage of its development for the treatment of Advanced Melanoma.
BNT111: BioNTech SE
BNT111 is an mRNA cancer vaccine candidate encoding a fixed set of four melanoma-associated antigens aiming to trigger a strong and precise immune response in patients with anti-PD-(L) 1 refractory/relapsed, unresectable Stage III or IV melanoma. BNT111 is an mRNA-based off-the-shelf cancer immunotherapy candidate for intravenous administration encoding a fixed set of four non-mutated melanoma-associated antigens (NY-ESO-1, MAGE-A3, tyrosinase, and TPTE) delivered as uridine mRNA-lipoplex formulation. Over 90% of patients with cutaneous melanomas express at least one of these antigens. The BNT111 program has also received Fast Track designation and Orphan Drug designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Currently, the drug is in Phase II stage of its development for the treatment of Advanced Melanoma.
[203Pb]VMT01: Perspective Therapeutics
VMT01 is a theranostic radiopharmaceutical developed by Perspective Therapeutics, specifically designed for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma. VMT01 is being developed to target and deliver 212Pb to tumor sites expressing MC1R, a protein that can be overexpressed in metastatic melanoma tumors. This compound targets the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R), which is often overexpressed in melanoma cells, enabling precise delivery of the alpha-emitting isotope 212Pb directly to tumor sites. The mechanism of action of VMT01 involves two distinct pathways: it induces direct cell killing through high-dose radiation while also promoting an immunogenic response that enhances immune-mediated tumor destruction at lower doses. This dual action not only aims to improve local tumor control but also stimulates systemic anti-tumor immunity. VMT01 has also received Fast Track Designation from the FDA. Currently, the drug is in Phase I/II stage of its development for the treatment of Advanced Melanoma.
Botensilimab: Agenus Inc.
Botensilimab is an investigational multifunctional anti-CTLA-4 immune activator (antibody) designed to boost both innate and adaptive anti-tumor immune responses. Its novel design leverages mechanisms of action to extend immunotherapy benefits to "cold" tumors which generally respond poorly to standard of care or are refractory to conventional PD-1/CTLA-4 therapies and investigational therapies. Botensilimab augments immune responses across a wide range of tumor types by priming and activating T cells, downregulating intratumoral regulatory T cells, activating myeloid cells and inducing long-term memory responses. Currently, the drug is in Phase I stage of its development for the treatment of Advanced Melanoma.
