Info about Circulating Tumor Cells
CCR5 inhibition may disrupt signaling and ultimately the spread of CCR5 positive Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC’s). The majority of current therapies are directed to the primary tumor, rather than the movement or spread of cancer in the bloodstream. Metastatic disease, not the primary tumor, is the cause of death in the vast majority of cancer patients.

Company statements on March 5, 2024 about upcoming papers
7:07: Turning now to the commitment to prioritize publications of our existing clinical data. I am pleased to announce that we are moving forward with the submission of (4) manuscripts in the coming weeks including (2) papers with 8 of 10 women with triple negative breast cancer. A paper in patients with multi-drug resistant HIV and a paper in patients with Mild to Moderate Covid-19.
7:40: The 1st publication will report on the observations that 8 of 10 women on the 3rd line therapies for triple negative breast cancer had either stable disease or a partial response after 6 months of combined treatment of leronlimab with a chemotherapy agent called carboplatin. This result compares favorably with historical controls.
8:09: The 2nd publication will report (2) further observations that suggests that leronlimab may have a role in the treatment of triple negative breast cancer. First, in the pooled analysis of 28 patients, there appeared to be a signal on the dose response. The patients on the higher 525mg dose of leronlimab, had a modestly increased progression free and overall survival compared to the 350mg dose.
Second, I think most provocatively, the pooled analysis showed that after receiving an initial dose of leronlimab, patients divided into one of two categories. About 25% of the patients had an increase in Circulating Tumor Cells, these are cells that are measured in the blood and can be referred to as CTCs. While about 75% of the patients had a decrease or absence of these CTCs in the weeks following the first dose of leronlimab.
9:17: That differentiation in CTC response in turn appeared to identify which patients subsequently responded to leronlimab with improved progression free and overall survival . Indeed, I believe the data on CTC response, is perhaps the most compelling part of the leronlimab story in triple negative breast cancer and could provide the basis for a screening test to identify which patients are most likely to respond from leronlimab in a follow up study.
