Overview

MRx0518 is an oral live biotherapeutic product derived from the gut microbiome and developed by 4D pharma for cancer immunotherapy. Public descriptions identify it as a microbiome-based, immunostimulatory bacterial therapy, with published work linking its activity to **Enterococcus gallinarum MRx0518** and especially its flagellin-mediated innate immune activation. Clinically, MRx0518 has been studied as monotherapy in a neoadjuvant pre-surgical setting in treatment-naive patients with solid tumors and in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors such as pembrolizumab and avelumab to enhance anti-tumor immune responses and potentially overcome resistance to prior PD-1 blockade. Development has focused on solid tumors including urothelial carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, bladder cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and other surgically resectable malignancies.
