JUBILEUM
Sara skal i ilden den 14 desember i Stockholm- som er 1 års jubileet for meldingen om TENDU 14 desember 2022:
Oslo, 14 December 2022: Ultimovacs ASA (“Ultimovacs”) (OSE ULTI), a clinical-stage biotechnology leader in novel immunotherapeutic cancer vaccines, announced that last patient enrollment has been completed in the Phase I TENDU trial in prostate cancer. Patients with relapse after primary radical prostatectomy received four doses of the TENDU vaccine during a 6-week treatment period. Three different dose levels have been explored (40, 400, 960 mcg) and half of the patients were treated at the highest dose level.
“We are pleased to have completed the enrollment of patients in the first clinical trial based on the TET platform technology”, said Carlos de Sousa, Chief Executive Officer at Ultimovacs . “The TET platform represents an innovative approach that can provide the flexibility to incorporate different antigens in vaccines relevant in different tumor types and stages.”
The TENDU clinical trial is the first trial based on the Ultimovacs’ novel vaccine-adjuvant platform, TET (Tetanus-Epitope Targeting). The technology combines the two key components of a vaccine in a single molecule, the cancer-specific antigens and the immune response strengthening adjuvant. The primary objective of TENDU is to evaluate safety and tolerability of different doses of the vaccine in patients with progressive disease after prostatectomy. No safety concerns have emerged in the on-going study. All patients are followed up for 6 months after the last treatment.
“The evidence to date indicates that the TET vaccine-adjuvant platform has the potential to be a highly flexible platform, which can be effectively combined with many therapeutic approaches in oncology,” said Jens Bjørheim, Chief Medical Officer at Ultimovacs. “The data from the TENDU trial will be valuable in exploring the opportunities for future development of a clinical program based on the TET platform technology.”
