Targovax: Reports full data set on clinical trial of cancer vaccine TG01

Our portfolio company Targovax reports encouraging disease-free survival (DFS) data from TG01 trial in resected pancreatic cancer:

  • 16.1 months median DFS with TG01 and gemcitabine combination for all 32 patients in the trial
  • 19.5 months DFS in 2nd cohort who received an optimized dosing regimen
  • 94% of patients had mutant RAS specific adaptive immune activation

The results are based on the full data set from the 32-patient phase I/II clinical trial evaluating TG01 in resected pancreatic cancer in combination with standard of care chemotherapy, gemcitabine.

 

Dr. Magnus Jäderberg, CMO of Targovax, said:

“We have previously reported strong immune activation and signal of efficacy for TG01 in resected pancreatic cancer. The median DFS data now presented further strengthens our confidence that TG01 provides a clinically meaningful benefit for this patient population, especially when in the context of historical controls. The DFS benefit appears to be more pronounced in the second cohort, which indicates that the post-chemo vaccination schedule is an optimal dosing regimen that we should select in subsequent development. It is also worth noting that median overall survival has not yet been reached in the second patient cohort, and we will continue to track how these patients perform with great interest”.
