Transcriptional and proteomic insights into the immunomodulatory nature of SUPLEXA cells: An autologous cellular therapy for cancers

  • SUPLEXA cells show individualized cell subset profiles with common acquisition of tumor cytolytic and antigen presenting cell phenotypes.
  • Transcriptome analysis shows that cell killing, proliferation, and papain proteases are hub gene networks that are altered in SUPLEXA cells.
  • Baseline immune cell characteristics show striking differences with higher levels of NK cells and lower levels of MDSCs in patients showing clinical benefit.
  • Longitudinal CyTOF analysis PBMCs demonstrates pharmacodynamic increases in activated classical monocytes (SIGLEC-1+).
  • Analysis of longitudinal plasma samples reveal modulation of cytokines that impact inflammatory cytokine (IL-6) and hematopoietic factor (cKit) networks.
