Abstract
TPS9124 Background: Inflammatory pathways can be pro-tumorigenic or anti-tumorigenic. The cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) can promote the infiltration of immunosuppressive cells into the tumor microenvironment leading to a pro-tumorigenic microenvironment that promotes carcinogenesis, tumor invasiveness, and immunosuppression. Canakinumab is a human monoclonal antibody that binds and neutralizes IL-1β. Previous clinical data (CANTOS study) has shown that canakinumab could significantly reduce lung cancer incidence and mortality. This data along with the preclinical results that IL-1β does support tumorigenic inflammation provide the rationale to investigate the therapeutic role of canakinum..
