Percutaneous Intratumoral Immunoadjuvant Gel Increases the Abscopal Effect of Cryoablation for Checkpoint Inhibitor Resistant Cancer by Som, Avik, Rosenboom, Jan‐Georg, Wehrenberg‐Klee, Eric, Chandler, Alana, Ndakwah, Gabrielle, Chen, Eric, Suggs, Jack, Morimoto, Joshua, Kim, Jonathan, Mustafa, Abdul Rehman, Marcos‐Vidal, Asier, Fintelmann, Florian J., Basu, Arijit, Langer, Robert, Traverso, Giovanni, Mahmood, Umar

“…To address these shortcomings, an injectable thermoresponsive gel‐based controlled release formulation is developed for the FDA‐approved Toll‐like‐receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist imiquimod (“Imigel”) that forms a tumor‐resident depot upon injection and contains a contrast agent for visualization under computed tomography (CT). The poly‐lactic‐<jats:italic>co</jats:italic>‐glycolic acid‐polyethylene glycol‐poly‐lactic‐<jats:italic>co</jats:italic>‐glycolic acid (PLGA‐PEG‐PLGA)‐based amphiphilic copolymer gel's underlying micellar nature enables high drug concentration and a logarithmic release profile that is additive with the neo‐antigen release from cryoablation, requiring only a single injection. …”
