Building on its prior body of preclinical research treating melanoma and breast cancer (as published in Frontiers in Immunology), this study was conducted in an immunologically 'cold' colorectal cancer (CT26) tumor model. In this combination protocol, CT26 tumor-bearing animals were treated with two consecutive treatments of THT plus standard PD-1 inhibitor immunotherapy followed by three additional PD-1 treatments (the "Study"). Animals were followed for 45 days following initiation of treatment as per study protocol. At completion of the Study 38% of animals given the combined therapy were alive and disease free.","length":1090,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Sona Nanotech CEO, David Regan commented, "We've all recently heard the shocking news that colon cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death for adults under 50. This timely preclinical evidence of strong immune activation in colon cancer using our THT/immunotherapy combination protocol reaffirms our confidence in pursuing Sona's THT to spark immunity in typically immunotherapy resistant cancers. We are certainly proud of the quality of this peer-reviewed research and its acceptance in the highly respected Journal of Nanobiotechnology. This study, together with the safety and tolerability data from our recently completed, first-in-human study of THT as a monotherapy in melanoma, lays the foundation for our next trial that will combine our THT with immunotherapy."","length":795,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Study principal investigator, lead author and Sona Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Carman Giacomantonio, commented, "We have focused our preclinical research on immunogenically cold cancers i.e. cancers th...
