  • Lytix Biopharma announced new Phase II data on ruxotemitide (VP-315) in basal cell carcinoma will be presented at Society for Investigative Dermatology annual meeting in Chicago on May 15, 2026.
  • Results indicate treatment of injected tumors was linked to shrinkage in separate, non-injected lesions, supporting a potential abscopal effect consistent with broader immune activation.
  • Readout strengthens clinical rationale for ruxotemitide beyond local tumor control, supporting development in settings where pre-surgical immune priming could add value.
  • Partner Verrica is advancing VP-315 toward Phase III studies in basal cell carcinoma, while Lytix expects top-line results from NeoLIPA Phase II neoadjuvant melanoma study in 2H 2026.
