Comparison of IRIN chemo plus anti‐PD‐1/anti‐PD‐L1 combination in the literature and this study

Ref. Treatments Cancer model Anticancer effect Key immunological and other biological findings of IRIN
[ 45a ] Free IRIN w/wo a‐PD‐L1 Subcutaneous FM3A Breast Cancer

Potency ranking:

Free IRIN + a‐PD‐L1 > Free IRIN ≈ a‐PD‐L1 > saline

  • CD8/Treg ratio ↑

  • MHC class I ↑

  • PD‐L1 ↑

[ 45b ] Liposomal IRIN (Onivyde/MM398) w/wo a‐PD‐1/a‐PD‐L1 SubcutaneousMC38/gp100 Colon Cancer

Potency ranking:

Liposomal IRIN + a‐PD‐1/ a‐PD‐L1 > liposomal IRIN a‐PD‐1/ a‐PD‐L1 alone ≈ saline

  • CD8/Treg ratio ↑

  • Granzyme B+ T cells ↑

This study

Free IRIN w/wo a‐PD‐1

ONIVYDE w/wo a‐PD‐1

IRIN silicasome w/wo a‐PD‐1

Orthotopic KPC Pancreatic Cancer

Potency ranking:

IRIN silicasome + a‐PD‐1 > IRIN silicasome ≈ IRIN + a‐PD‐1 > free IRIN ≈ a‐PD‐1 ≈ saline

IRIN silicasome + a‐PD‐1 > IRIN silicasome ≈ ONIVYDE + a‐PD‐1 > ONIVYDE > a‐PD‐1 ≈ saline

[Note: “IRIN silicasome + a‐PD‐1” exhibited the longest survival outcome]

  • CD8/Treg ratio ↑

  • PD‐L1 expression ↑

  • Granzyme B+ T cells ↑

  • Perforin+ T cells ↑

  • IFN‐γ production ↑

  • ICD (CRT, HMGB1) and ER stress ↑

  • Enrichment in acidic vesicles and autophagy inhibition ↑
