During
#SITC24 Moffitt’s Roger Li, MD (
@UrogerliMD) discusses the combination of oncolytic virotherapy and nivolumab (C N) as a therapy for cisplatin-ineligible muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).
#MoffittSITC24 @sitcancer
➡️ Combination neoadjuvant treatment using Creto Nivo was well-tolerated and achieved pCR of 42.1%, compares favorably to SOC cisplatin-based chemotherapy
➡️ pCR associated with free E2F activity and tumor mutational burden
➡️ Treatment induced neoantigen specific systemic T-cell activation in responders
➡️ Formation and maturation of TLS specifically associated with complete response
➡️ Potential to enhance therapeutic efficacy in cisplatin-ineligible patients with MIBC
➡️ Cretostimogene may be an important contributor to checkpoint inhibitors in MIBC and HR NMIBC with future trials exploring monotherapy and rational combination strategies
