Clinical Data of KEYNOTE-695 Trial of TAVO™-EP + KEYTRUDA in Patients with Advanced Melanoma Refractory to anti-PD-1 Treatment announced
“Treatment of patients with anti-PD-1 refractory melanoma remains difficult with limited success for immune checkpoint inhibitor combinations and exploratory therapeutic approaches. It is disappointing that review by blinded central readers did not confirm the previously reported results by investigator assessment of the KEYNOTE-695 Phase 2 clinical trial in this patient population. However, we remain optimistic that the observed long duration of response and overall survival of 22.7 months in this heavily pre-treated patient population, together with previously reported preliminary results from Dr. Tarhini’s IST in the neoadjuvant melanoma setting, provide rationale for further development of TAVO™-EP in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy. We plan to discuss these data and a draft protocol for TAVO™-EP in combination with pembrolizumab for a randomized Phase 2 trial in the neoadjuvant setting at the upcoming meeting with the FDA to potentially initiate the trial in the second half of 2023,” said Robert Arch, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of OncoSec. “I want to thank all patients who participated in the KEYNOTE-695 trial, the clinical teams who conducted this trial, and everybody at OncoSec who remain focused on developing TAVO™-EP as a novel intratumoral treatment approach for cancer patients with unmet medical needs.”
