“We are very pleased to see intratumoral TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist administration working as designed to deliver prolonged, high local concentrations of resiquimod, steadily activating and intensifying the body’s innate and adaptive immune responses over weeks with a single injection,” said Stina Singel, Senior Vice President, Head of Clinical Development, Oncology at Ascendis Pharma. “With these early signs of clinical activity, including monotherapy abscopal activity, and no signs of systemic toxicity, we look forward to continuing our work with investigators and patients to further assess TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist’s ability to promote potent anti-tumoral responses while minimizing toxic systemic exposures.”
