  • Publication number: 20220088059
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention are directed to methods of treating cancer using a combination of spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) and a checkpoint inhibitor. The SNA molecule comprises a core oligonucleotide shell of CpG oligonucleotides positioned on the exterior of this core. The SNA is administered at a fixed dose of 2mg to a solid tumour or tumour lesion, and is administered within 24 hours of the checkpoint inhibitor administration. The SNA can also be administered at a dose of 700 mg-900 mg every 2 weeks. The SNA can also be a CpG linked via a spacer to the exterior surface of a liposome core of 40 nm or less diameter.
