Abstract OT-13-06: Solti-1503 PROMETEO: Talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) + atezolizumab combination in early breast cancer
Abstract Background Residual disease (RD) after standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is composed of drug resistant cells and associates with increased risk of relapse, especially in triple negative, HER2-positive, and highly proliferative Luminal tumors. Immunotherapy combinations can induce of specific anti-tumor immune responses, such as those mediated by T-cells, and which might represent an additional strategy for the control or elimination of residual tumor cells. Preliminary results in melanoma showed that the combination of T-VEC with an anti PD-L1 or anti CTLA4 has greater efficacy than either therapy alone, without additional safety concerns beyond those expected for each agent.…
SOLTI-1503 PROMETEO TRIAL: combination of talimogene laherparepvec with atezolizumab in early breast cancer
New treatment strategies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors and oncolytic viruses are opening new possibilities in cancer therapy. Preliminary results in melanoma and other tumors showed that the combination of talimogene laherparepvec with an anti-PD-1/PD-L1 or anti-CTLA4 has greater efficacy than either therapy alone, without additional safety concerns beyond those expected for each agent. The presence of residual cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in early breast cancer patients is an unmet medical need. SOLTI-1503 PROMETEO is a window of opportunity trial, which evaluates the combination of talimogene laherparepvec in combination with atezolizumab in women with operable HER2-negati…
