The investigational drug product IFx-Hu2.0 is composed of the drug substance pAc/emm55 (pDNA) complexed with the two excipients in vivo-jetPEI® (linear polyethylenimine), a transfection reagent, and dextrose, a pDNA/polyethylenimine complex stabilizer. Therapeutic Classification: * Immunomodulatory Agent Route of Administration: * Intralesional (i.e. injection of cutaneous, subcutaneous or nodal lesions) Mechanism of Action: * Injection of IFx-Hu2.0 into the lesion facilitates the expression of the immunogenic Emm55 protein by the tumor cells. Physiological Effect: * Expression of the emm55 gene by the tumor cells triggers immune recognition of tumor-specific and -associated antigens which leads to innate and adaptive immune responses. In addition to priming anti-tumor immunity in immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-naïve patients, this could re-sensitize patients with primary or secondary ICI clinical resistance.
