“Additionally, we have successfully advanced development of nelitolimod, having treated 100 patients in four indications and three clinical trials using our PEDD technology. Our progress to date indicates that nelitolimod can be delivered to the liver and pancreas with minimal systemic exposure and shows early promise of benefit in heavily pretreated patients with advanced disease,” added
Second Quarter Business Update
DELIVER Program
- TriSalus is excited to unveil the DELIVER program, a series of clinical trials designed to significantly expand the addressable market by evaluating the use of the TriNav system across a diverse range of complex patient populations, with the intent to further validate prior clinical studies that demonstrated the favorable clinical effects of the PEDD technology. This initiative aims to generate comprehensive data and solidify the evidence supporting TriNav's application in patients who might not be suitable candidates for traditional transarterial chemotherapy and radioembolization treatments. A key focus of the DELIVER program is to investigate the potential of combining use of the TriNav system with these therapies to enhance effectiveness and address resistance mechanisms in challenging cancers.
- The Company expects to launch the program with its first clinical study, named "PROTECT" (Pressure Enabled Retrograde Occlusive Therapy with Embolization for Control of Thyroid Disease). The goal of the trial is to highlight the advantages of this novel approach compared to conventional surgical methods.
Nelitolimod Clinical Studies in Uveal Melanoma Liver Metastases, Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma, and Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer via the Pressure-Enabled Regional Immuno-Oncology (PERIO) Clinical Program
-
In
November 2023 , TriSalus presented initial Phase 1 results for the PERIO-01 and PERIO-03 studies at theSociety of Immunotherapy for Cancer annual meeting, and inJune 2024 , it presented top-line results for PERIO-02 at theAmerican Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting. - PERIO-01 is a Phase 1 trial evaluating hepatic arterial delivery of nelitolimod via the PEDD technology in patients with uveal melanoma liver metastases. The trial includes dose-escalation cohorts with monotherapy and in combination with checkpoint inhibitors. The preliminary data show a tolerable safety profile, evidence of liver metastases myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) depletion with T cell infiltration, and promising indications of activity, including ctDNA responses, disease control, and survival beyond historical benchmarks in predominantly pre-treated patients. The final results for the PERIO-01 Phase 1 trial are expected in Q4 2024.
-
PERIO-02 focuses on the hepatic arterial delivery of nelitolimod via the PEDD technology for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma or intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The study has been completed, and recent findings presented by investigators from
MD Anderson Cancer Center at ASCO demonstrated consistent safety and immunologic effects, along with encouraging survival times in a subset of patients treated with a systemic checkpoint inhibitor doublet. The Company expects further investigation into these indications to continue only through investigator-initiated studies. - PERIO-03 is a Phase 1 dose-escalation study of nelitolimod in locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Nelitolimod is administered through outpatient interventional radiology procedures using the Pancreatic TriSalus Infusion System™ PEDD device. Phase 1 results for this study are anticipated in Q4 2024.
