Benzinga ·  Apr 8 14:21

In the study, treatment with RP1 as monotherapy, for up to 25 doses, resulted in an overall response rate (ORR) of 34.8 percent (8 of 23 evaluable patients, including 5 complete responses and 3 partial responses) with most responses ongoing as of the data cutoff date of September 18, 2023. In the evaluable patient population (n=23), 20 had cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) and three had merkel cell carcinoma. Of note, a patient treated with RP1 for CSCC also had a complete response of a new primary basal cell carcinoma which appeared post baseline. There was no evidence of allograft rejection including of hepatic and lung allografts. RP1 monotherapy was well tolerated, and the safety profile was similar to the profile in non-immunocompromised patients with advanced skin cancers. Additional biomarker data collected showed an increase in CD+8 T, a type of immune cell, and an increase in the expression of PD-L1, after treatment suggesting immune activation.
