Abstract
Ovarian cancer is especially deadly, challenging to treat, and has proven refractory to known immunotherapies. Cytokine therapy is an attractive strategy to drive a proinflammatory immune response in immunologically cold tumors such as many high grade ovarian cancers; however, this strategy has been limited in the past due to severe toxicity. We previously demonstrated the use of a layer‐by‐layer (LbL) nanoparticle (NP) delivery vehicle in subcutaneous flank tumors to reduce the toxicity of interleukin‐12 (IL‐12) therapy upon intratumoral injection. However, ovarian cancer cannot be treated by local injection as it presents as dispersed metastases. Herein, we demonstrate the use of systemically delivered LbL NPs using a cancer cell membrane‐binding outer layer to effectively target and engage the adaptive immune system as a treatment in multiple orthotopic ovarian tumor models, including immunologically cold tumors. IL‐12 therapy from systemically delivered LbL NPs shows reduced severe toxicity and maintained anti‐tumor efficacy compared to carrier‐free IL‐12 or layer‐free liposomal NPs leading to a 30% complete survival rate.
