Toca 511 (vocimagene amiretrorepvec) Retroviral replicating vector that carries a prodrug activator enzyme Regulatory genes Structural RRV genes CD gene Regulatory genes Tumor selectivity and replication in cancers cells is driven by: Defects in the innate immune system of cancer cells Virus enters some normal cells, but is rapidly eliminated by innate and acquired immunity Virus spreads through tumor without triggering immune system Virus only infects dividing cells Optimized CD (cytosine deaminase) 5-FC (Toca FC) Antifungal Prodrug 5-FU Anticancer Drug 5-FU has a very short half-life with direct cell killing localized to cancer microenvironment RRV= Retroviral replicating vector 3
Toca 511 & Toca FC: Toca 511 spreads then converts Toca FC to 5-FU for tumor killing and immune activation Novel 5-FU delivery kills tumor cells and activates immune system against cancer STEP 1 - Toca 511 & CD CD CD Proposed MOA: Tumor killing and anticancer immune activation CD Tumor STEP 2 - Toca FC 5-FU 5-FU 5-FU 4 Brain and tumor samples from Tocagen clinical trial patients CD = cytosine deaminase (yeast) Toca FC = extended release 5-FC
Toca 511 & 5-FC Immune Activation MOA Publications Selected for Cover and Editorial Neuro-Oncology, Vol 19, Issue 7, July 2017 Complementary preclinical studies published in July issue of Neuro-Oncology Increased immune infiltrates in tumor Immune effects are T cell-dependent and correlate with depletion of immune-suppressive myeloid cells the immunological milieu induced by the Toca 511 and 5-FC treatment, resulting in elimination of immunosuppressive tumor stromal cells and activation of antitumor immunity conventional chemotherapy with systemic 5-FU also causes myelotoxicity and damages the immune system. In contrast, with retroviral prodrug activator gene therapy, 5-FU is locally generated directly within infected glioma cells, and the immune system remains intact.
