YMN-A02 for Advanced Primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
A Phase I Clinical Study of YMN-A02, a Bifunctional RNA Agent, for Safety, Tolerability, and Preliminary Efficacy in Patients With Advanced Primary Liver Cancer Who Have Failed Standard of Care
Primary liver cancer (Hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC) represents a major challenge in clinical oncology and poses a serious threat to public health. In recent years, the application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has transformed the landscape of cancer therapy, demonstrating remarkable efficacy in a subset of patients. However, due to the unique immune-tolerant microenvironment of the liver, tumor cells can evade host immune surveillance, leading to reduced immune cell infiltration and T cell exhaustion. Consequently, patients with advanced HCC often respond poorly to existing ICI therapies. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), a key regulator of T cell immune responses, is highly expressed in the tumor microenvironment and mediates immune evasion by inducing regulatory T cell (Treg) differentiation and suppressing the effector functions of CD8⁺ T cells. Therefore, simultaneous blockade of immune checkpoints and the TGF-β signaling pathway represents a promising strategy to reverse immune tolerance in liver tumors.
Based on the above mechanisms, our research team has developed an RNA formulation (YMN-A02 bifunctional RNA formulation) encapsulated in TM10-LNP, which encodes a bifunctional fusion protein combining a CTLA-4 antibody and a TGF-β trap. Preclinical studies have shown that this formulation effectively activates antitumor immune responses and inhibits tumor growth in orthotopic liver cancer animal models. This study proposes a Phase I clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of this formulation in patients with advanced primary liver cancer who have failed standard treatment, aiming to provide a new strategy for overcoming immune tolerance in liver tumors and improving the response rate to immunotherapy.
