Noxopharm Achieves Abscopal Responses in Prostate Cancer

SYDNEY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#clinicaltrials--Noxopharm, a clinical-stage Australian oncology drug development company, has announced the details of the radiographic review of its DARRT-1 clinical study and is pleased to report a 27% incidence of abscopal response in soft tissue lesions using a combination of Veyonda® and low-dose radiotherapy. An abscopal response, a highly prized clinical response, involves radiation directed at a single tumor which triggers resulting shrinkage of tumors well outside of the field of radiation. It is assumed to be an immune response in the irradiated tumor triggered by using a low, minimally-ablative dose of radiation. Once acknowledged as a very rare event, the growing use of immuno-oncology drugs in combination with radiotherapy has led to increasing reports of abscopal responses in a range of cancers, including lung, breast, and urogenital cancers and melanoma. No such reports have come from studies in prostate cancer with checkpoint inhibitors either alone or in combination with radiotherapy, leading to this cancer gaining a reputation as a “non-immunological” cancer.
