Strength
Our program, INTERMICIN, pH-sensitive polymeric micelles loading IL-12 release fully active IL-12 upon sensing intertumoral pH, thus increases infiltration and activity of effector immune cells within tumor microenvironment. Moreover, INTERMICIN also overcome the systemic toxicity of IL-12. In the current pre-clinical data, INTERMICIN exhibits strong anti-tumor efficacy in various tumor models both as monotherapy and in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
