Lytix Biopharma to Present Final Phase II ATLAS-IT-05 Data at the AACR Annual Meeting 2026
Final results from the ATLAS-IT-05 study of ruxotemitide (LTX-315) in combination with pembrolizumab to be presented at AACR 2026
Oslo, Norway, March 18, 2026: Lytix Biopharma (“Lytix” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company developing novel intratumoral cancer therapies, today announced that data from its Phase II ATLAS-IT-05 study evaluating ruxotemitide (LTX-315) in combination with pembrolizumab have been selected for presentation at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026, taking place April 20–24, 2026 in San Diego, California.
The presentation will highlight final results from the completed Phase II ATLAS-IT-05 study, which evaluated intratumoral ruxotemitide in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with unresectable advanced or metastatic melanoma who have progressed following treatment with anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapies.
“We are pleased that the AACR scientific committee has selected the ATLAS-IT-05 study for presentation at this year’s meeting,” said Øystein Rekdal, Chief Executive Officer of Lytix Biopharma. “These results further support the potential of ruxotemitide to induce anti-tumor immune responses in patients with advanced melanoma who have limited treatment options following checkpoint inhibitor therapy.”

About Ruxotemitide (LTX-315)
Ruxotemitide (LTX-315) is a first-in-class oncolytic peptide designed for intratumoral administration. The molecule disrupts tumor cells locally, leading to the release of tumor antigens and danger-associated molecular signals that may activate systemic anti-tumor immune responses. This mechanism has the potential to convert immunologically “cold” tumors into “hot” tumors and enhance responses to checkpoint inhibitor therapies.
