Lytix Biopharma announces presentation of interim data from ATLAS-IT-05 study at ESMO 2023.
Oslo, 20 July 2023. Lytix Biopharma – Lytix Biopharma AS (“Lytix”) (Euronext Growth Oslo: LYTIX), a clinical stage immuno-oncology company, today announces that an abstract with clinical data from the ATLAS-IT-05 study is accepted for presentation at ESMO 2023.
In ATLAS-IT-05, a Phase II study, LTX-315 is given to patients with advanced melanoma in combination with the immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab (Keytruda), a market leading approved immunotherapeutic antibody. In the abstract interim efficacy and safety data from the first patients enrolled in the Phase II study are presented.
The interim data will be presented by the leading investigator of the trial, Professor Stéphane Dalle (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Lyon, France) in a poster session. The poster title is: Intratumoral injection of LTX-315 in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced melanoma refractory to prior PD-1/PD-L1 therapy: interim results from the ATLAS-IT-05 trial.
Øystein Rekdal, CEO of Lytix commented: “We are looking forward to sharing interim data from the ongoing ATLAS-IT-05 trial at this year’s ESMO in Madrid. The study is running at several sites in the US and Europe exploring the ability of LTX-315 to alter the course of disease in patients who have previously failed treatment with anti-PD-1/PDL-1.”

Lytix in brief:
Based in Oslo, Norway, Lytix Biopharma is a clinical stage immuno-oncology company developing novel cancer immunotherapies, an area within cancer therapy that is aimed at activating the patient’s immune system to fight cancer. The Company’s technology is based on pioneering research in “host defense peptides” – nature’s first line of defense towards foreign pathogens. Lytix Biopharma’s lead product, LTX-315, is a first-in-class molecule representing a new and superior therapeutic principle to boost anti-cancer immunity, with the potential to be the ideal combination partner with other types of immunotherapies. LTX-315 target cancer cells and disintegrate their cell membranes, causing immunogenic cell death and release of a patient’s tumor specific antigens. This mode of action allows cytotoxic T cells to recognize, infiltrate, and attack cancer cells. The Company was listed on Euronext Growth in Oslo in June 2021, following a private placement covered by investors such as PBM Capital, a US based, healthcare-focused investment firm.
