PDS Lead Program Gets Overall Tumor Reduction of 67% In HPV16 Positive Cancer

 

  • PDS Biotechnology Corporation (NASDAQ: PDSB) has announced interim data from the Phase 2 trial led by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) evaluating PDS0101 (Versamune-HPV16) in combination with two investigational immune-modulating agents - bintrafusp alfa and NHS-IL12 for HPV16 positive cancers.

  • Data were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology 2021 Annual Meeting.

  • 83% (5/6) of the patients demonstrated an objective response in relapsed or refractory checkpoint inhibitor naïve advanced cancer patients.

  • The reported objective response rate with the current standard of care checkpoint inhibitor treatment is 12-24%.

  • 100% (6/6) are still alive at eight months.

  • 80% (4/5) of patients with an objective response still have an ongoing response at eight months. One patient had a complete response.

  • In patients who have also failed checkpoint inhibitor therapy, tumor reduction was observed in 58% (7/12), with an overall objective response rate of 42% (5/12) already achieved.

  • 83% (10/12) of patients are still alive at eight months.

  • Also, in patients with HPV16-negative cancer, 0% (0/7) experienced tumor reduction was observed.

  • 80% (4/5) of checkpoint inhibitor naïve patients are still alive at eight months. 0% (0/2) checkpoint inhibitor refractory patients are still alive at eight months.
