Conclusions TA followed by IP-001 at a dose of 4 mL is well tolerated in pts with advanced solid tumors who have failed standard treatment. The combined use of thermal tumor ablation and IP-001® at a dose of 4 ml can safely be administered in patients with advanced solid malignancies with the potential to stimulate an abscopal effect via immune stimulation."

Thermal Ablation Enhances Immunotherapeutic Effect of IP-001 on Orthotopic Liver Cancer in a Rat Model (SSO 2022) - "Introduction: : Immunosuppression within the tumor microenvironment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has made immune checkpoints attractive targets for therapy, however they have failed to improve overall survival (OS) as first-line monotherapy compared to sorafenib. A combination of IP-001 and MWA in an HCC Murine model led to significant increase in macrophages (CD11b + cells) dendritic cells (CD11b + CD 103 + cells), NK cells (CD 161 + cells), significant upregulation of interferon gamma, and improvement in T helper cells. Learning Objectives: Understand the combination effects of thermal ablation and N-dihydrogalactochitosan injection Understand the immunomodulatory effects of MWA alone and in combination with N-dihydrogalactochitosan injection Understand the HCC animal effects and immune profile that can be seen after ablation"

Novel Immune Stimulant Amplifies Direct Tumoricidal Effect of Cancer Ablation Therapies and Their Systemic Antitumor Immune Efficacy. (PubMed, Cells) - "A novel immune stimulating drug IP-001, a specific variant of the N-dihydrogalactochitosan (GC) family of molecules, has shown to be effective against metastatic tumors, when combined with different forms tumor ablation. It acts as a multi-function immune stimulant both by directly inhibiting cell membrane repair and recycling of ablation-damaged tumor cells, and indirectly by sequestering ablation-released tumor antigens, as well as recruiting and stimulating antigen presenting cells to induce a potent Th1 type T cell response against the cancer. In this review, we briefly discuss the current applications of local ablation for cancer treatment and the effects of GC in combination with other ablation therapies, a therapeutic approach that is pioneering the field of Interventional Immuno-Oncology (IIO)."
