Glein stoler altså ikke på PCIB sin ledelse ei heller Oslo Cancer Cluster eller Arctics analyse:joy:. Her bekreftes blant annet at ved gode resultater fimavacc studie vil det bli verdifull asset. Vi får se hvordan resultatene blir først og hvordan de blir bekreftet av van det Burg og teamet i Leiden. Ikke værre enn det. Alternativt sende studien for tolkning til Glein (men da er vel resultatet allerede gitt før han har sett på data: helt ræva:joy:)
“Improving immunogenicity of vaccine candidates is a main priority in the immunotherapy industry. We believe that the fimaVACC technology may play an important part in solving this challenge and the initial immune response results in the Phase I study are encouraging. We look forward to the completion of this study, aiming for clinical translation of the promising preclinical results with the fimaVACC technology. “
.fima VACC applies a unique mode of action to enhance the essential cytotoxic effect of therapeutic cancer vaccines, which works in synergy with several other state-of-the-art vaccination technologies.
The dose-finding part of the fimaVACC Phase I study identified a well-tolerated dosing regimen. PCI Biotech is collaborating with international immunotherapy experts for further in-depth analysis and characterisation of the immune responses.
Immunotherapy with the fimaVACC technology
The pharmaceutical industry has long recognised the potential of therapeutic cancer vaccination, i.e. vaccines that treat cancer by inducing or strengthening the body’s own immune response. Whilst several companies have reported failed clinical studies in the past years, the potential of combining vaccination with immune checkpoint inhibitors has triggered a renewed interest in therapeutic cancer vaccines. Nevertheless, there are still key issues to solve of which improving the immunogenicity of vaccine candidates is a main priority within immunotherapy. PCI Biotech believes the fimaVACC technology may play a key role in solving this key challenge.
In order to realise the huge potential of therapeutic cancer vaccines, effective induction of cytotoxic T- cells is critical. Unfortunately, today’s vaccines often fail to generate such responses. Most likely, one of the main reasons behind this failure is insufficient delivery of vaccine antigens to the appropriate presentation pathway in the immune cells. The fimaVACC technology may solve this challenge by effectively enhancing the vaccine presentation through this pathway.
Collaboration with international immunotherapy experts
Currently, the characterisation of the fimaVACC immune response by in-depth analysis is ongoing. To finalise the work, PCI Biotech is collaborating with a renowned international institute, the laboratory of Experimental Cancer Immunology and Therapy of the department of Medical Oncology at Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands under the leadership of Professor Sjoerd van der Burg. Next steps for the Phase I study and the overall development strategy for fimaVACC will be assessed following completion of these analyses.
