VentiRx, the developers of motolimod, a TLR8 agonist, have published preclinical and clinical results that indicate effective immune system stimulation in human whole blood cultures, non-human primates, healthy subjects, and late-stage cancer patients. Immune system stimulation in all of these settings is dose-dependent, characterized by similar biomarkers, and consistent with stimulation via the TLR8 pathway. The rapid translation and development of motolimod clearly benefited from the use of standardized immune monitoring systems and validated biomarker assays.
