A Study of IOV-5001 in Adults With Advanced Solid Tumors

This study is the first-in-human study of IOV-5001. IOV-5001 is expected to have antitumor activity through its capacity to directly target and kill the tumor cells in a manner that is similar to non-genome-edited TIL products, but with the potential for enhanced antitumor activity because IOV-5001 is genetically modified to express inducible membrane-tethered interleukin-12 (TeIL-12). IL-12 is a potent cytokine known to enhance T-cell responses. As such, IOV-5001 represents a strategy to augment the cytotoxic activity of TIL through inducible localized presentation of TeIL-12 without systemic exposure to IL-12 cytokines, thereby improving the safety profile.
