Impact on survival of interferon-alpha delivery in glioblastoma with unmethylated MGMT by immuno-gene therapy with Temferon (SNO 2023)
The other four patients with 2 year follow-up were treated with Gamma-Knife followed by bevacizumab (n = 1), regorafenib followed by bevacizumab (n = 1) and bevacizumab only (n = 2). These data corroborate the initial evidence on safety and tolerability of Temferon. They also suggest that Temferon has potential to counteract disease progression in patients affected by uMGMT GBM.

MACROPHAGES-BASED IMMUNOTHERAPY OF SOLID TUMORS MICROENVIRONMENT: THE TEM-GBM STUDY (NCT03866109) (EANO 2023)
The comparison of the overall ISGs expression at first surgery and second surgery highlighted the activation of IFN-responsive genes at second surgery suggesting the occurrence of the local delivery within the TME of biologically active IFN-a. CONCLUSION The results provide initial evidence of Temferon’s potential to modulate the TME of GBM patients.

Genetic Engineering of Hematopoietic Progenitor Stem Cells for Targeted IFN-α Immunotherapy Reprogramming the Solid Tumor Microenvironment: A First-in-Man Study in Glioblastoma Multiforme (NCT03866109) (ASH 2023)
Autologous CD34+ HSPC are mobilized with lenograstim and plerixafor, collected by apheresis, purified and ex vivo modified with a lentiviral vector. So far, up to 3 million Temferon cells/kg have been co-administered with a fixed dose of non-manipulated CD34+ supporter cells following a sub-myeloablative conditioning regimen (Thiotepa + BCNU or Busulfan or Busulfan alone)... These data show that Temferon is safe and biologically active at the tumor site and favors anti-tumor immunity. The results provide initial evidence of Temferon's potential to modulate the TME of GBM patients and to counteract disease progression and improve the survival of uMGMT GBM patients.

Reprogramming Macrophages Using Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cells As Immunotherapy for Glioblastoma: TEM-GBM Study (NCT03866109) (ASH 2022)
Autologous CD34+ HSPC are mobilized with lenograstim and plerixafor, collected by apheresis, purified and ex vivo modified with a lentiviral vector that enables HSC TEMs progeny to be loaded with IFN-a. So far, up to 3 million Temferon cells/kg have been co-administered with a fixed dose of non-manipulated CD34+ supporter cells following a sub-myeloablative conditioning regimen (Thiotepa + BCNU/Busulfan)... Our interim results show that Temferon is well tolerated, with no dose limiting toxicities identified to date. The results provide initial evidence of Temferon's potential to modulate the TME of GBM patients, and anecdotal evidence for long lasting effects of Temferon in prevention of disease progression.
