Fra q3 Q&A:
So fimaVACC is a little bit complicated. When you present this, will you try to tell us like how good is this actually? There is a measurable possibility for us, normal shareholders, to understand. Is this good or this is just okay? Or is this very good?
Per Walday, PCI Biotech Holding ASA - CEO [26]
Yes, yes. So absolutely, we always try to do that and I’m sorry if we’re not always successful in doing that. But we always try to do that. But we don’t want to – we want to be sure on what we say before we say it, so we want to really characterize and make sure that we understand what kind of immune response we have before we tell how strong we think the results of the fimaVACC is. We see, as you say, that we get earlier responses, we get more responders, we get stronger responses. But this is for the [c23,] the total T-cell population. We want to characterize what kind of cell is it because some of these cells are more difficult to enhance or to induce and this is the population that we hope that we will be able to induce. Also, that we’ve induced so strongly in mice and we hope we will also be able to induce in man.
Og i forhold til benchmark gjentar jeg denne en gang til:
’‘It’s when you compare it with – we use an adjuvant together with the fimaVACC, Hiltonol, a toll-like receptor 3 adjuvant. And this is – adjuvant is used in a number of clinical studies, and the control group in this study gets the adjuvant but not fimaVACC. So that’s the comparison with only using the standardly used – standard-used adjuvant that are being used in a number of clinical studies today for therapeutic cancer vaccines.’'
