Medicenna and Fondazione Melanoma Onlus Collaborate to Advance MDNA11 in “NEO-CYT” trial in High-Risk, Surgically Resectable Neoadjuvant Stage III Melanoma
Professor Paolo A. Ascierto, Lead Principal Investigator of NEO-CYT, commented: “Neoadjuvant therapy has taught us that timing of immunotherapy matters. Treating patients undergoing curative surgery while the tumor is still present can generate deeper and more durable immune responses. Advancing into the neoadjuvant setting represents a logical next-step in clinical development of any promising immunotherapy by treating earlier-stage, high-risk patients. Importantly, NEO-CYT is designed to evaluate combinations of MDNA11 with two major immunotherapies, nivolumab with or without ipilimumab. NEO‑CYT will test whether adding a next-generation IL-2 superkine, MDNA11, to proven checkpoint combinations in resectable, high-risk melanoma can improve pathologic responses with the potential to improve curative benefit after surgery.”
