Alignment with FDA on Ph 3 Trial in HPV16-Positive First-Line Recurrent or Metastatic Head and Neck Cancer
“We appreciate the FDA’s support in the development of both the double and triple Versamune® HPV-based combinations. We are also pleased to have aligned on initiating the updated VERSATILE-003 study,” said Frank Bedu-Addo, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of PDS Biotech. “The VERSATILE-002 results have matured significantly and positively over the last year, allowing us to revise the statistical endpoints of the study to provide additional robustness to the study design. We continue to believe that the combination, based on encouraging survival, disease control response rates and safety has the potential to significantly advance the treatment of HPV16-positive HNSCC. Our goal now is to investigate Versamune® HPV + pembrolizumab’s potential as the first targeted immunotherapy for HPV16-positive HNSCC. The addition of PDS01ADC in the future has the potential to provide further clinical benefit to an effective targeted immunotherapy.”
