About INT230-6

INT230-6 is a novel, anti-cancer drug for direct intratumoral injection. The product contains potent anti-cancer agents that disperse throughout tumors and diffuse into cancer cells. INT230-6 was identified from Intensity’s DfuseRx^SM platform. In preclinical studies INT230-6 eradicated tumors by a combination of direct tumor kill coupled with recruitment of dendritic cells to the tumor micro-environment that stimulated anti-cancer T-cell activation. INT230-6 provides complete responder animals with long-term, durable protection from multiple re-inoculations of the initial cancer and resistance to other cancers. INT230-6 is being evaluated in clinical study, IT-01. Further information on the human trial can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT#03058289).
