Enrollment opens for Keytruda® Arm in Ongoing Breast Cancer alpha-lactalbumin and AMHR2-ED-targeting Vaccine Clinical Trial
Dr. Amit Kumar, Chairman and CEO of Anixa stated, “Cleveland Clinic has demonstrated in both preclinical and clinical studies that our breast cancer vaccine induces an immune response–including, we believe, production of T cells that can target TNBC–so we believe that the addition of Keytruda could have a synergistic effect. If a vaccine induces the creation of T cells targeting TNBC, and Keytruda generally maintains T cell activity, the combination could be very potent. We are grateful to the U.S. Department of Defense for providing the funding for this new arm of the trial and look forward to Cleveland Clinic’s presentation of the updated data from this trial at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) in December.”

“Beyond the second-line monotherapy opportunity, we and our partners at Pfizer have removed plans for a Phase 3 first-line combination trial with atirmociclib, as well as the planned Phase 3 second-line combination trial with a CDK4/6 inhibitor, from our joint development plan,” continued Dr. Houston. “This decision was made following
“The interim PFS analysis results demonstrated that, compared to the current standard treatment, KN026 in combination with chemotherapy significantly improved PFS, reduced the risk of disease progression or death, and showed a trend toward OS benefit. Detailed data from this study will be presented at an upcoming international academic conference.”
