(SITC) Annual Meeting
Dr. Shoushtari, MD, Medical Oncologist, Memorial Sloan Kettering, presented
results from part 1 of Targovax’s phase I trial in anti-PD1 refractory melanoma
combining ONCOS-102 with Keytruda. Headline data were released in July, showing
that three out of nine patients had significant reduction of tumor burden (33%
overall response rate, ORR), including one patient with a complete response,
which is rarely seen in this late-stage patient population Please see the full
presentation here: SITC

Øystein Soug, CEO of Targovax, commented: “Although the number of patients is
small, 33% ORR is very encouraging and confirms our hypothesis that ONCOS-102
can immune activate PD-1 refractory tumors to respond to re-challenge with
Keytruda. We are very excited that these data are being recognized with an oral
presentation at the SITC Annual Meeting.”
Part 2 of the trial is currently enrolling patients, where an extended ONCOS-102
dosing regimen is being assessed.
An extended presentation will be given by Dr. Shoushtari at an investor event in
