AdAPT-001 Receives FDA Fast Track Designation for Recurrent or Refractory Soft Tissue Sarcoma Treatment
According to EpicentRx CEO and viro-oncologist, Dr. Tony Reid, MD, PhD, “Checkpoint blockade immunotherapies have revolutionized cancer therapy for many patients and prolonged the lives of millions. But efficacy depends on 1) the presence of an immune infiltrate, which is often absent or immunosuppressive, and 2) low levels of immunosuppressive factors like TGFβ, which are frequently overexpressed. AdAPT-001 is designed both to inflame the tumor microenvironment and to combat immunosuppression by neutralization of TGFβ through the expression of a TGFβ trap. Fast Track designation is a terrific acknowledgement of the potential of AdAPT-001 to make a meaningful difference for STS patients who desperately require new treatment options.”
