FAILED TRIAL: Ph 2 study of TG4001 + avelumab vs avelumab in patients with R/M HPV16-positive cervical and anogenital tumors did not meet the primary objective of PFS improvement
Dr. Alessandro Riva, Chairman and CEO of Transgene, said: “Failure to meet the primary objective in our Phase II study with TG4001 is disappointing. Nevertheless, we are encouraged by the positive efficacy trend in favor of the combination regimen in cervical cancer patients. We plan to complete a full and rigorous analysis of the data before deciding on any path forward for this asset, in particular in cervical cancer, in the context of the evolving treatment landscape. The complete study results will be presented at an upcoming scientific conference. We would like to thank all the patients and caregivers who have taken part in this study for their important contribution. With a diversified portfolio of novel immunotherapies targeting solid tumors, our strategy remains focused on advancing our lead asset, TG4050, an individualized cancer vaccine for head and neck cancers for use following surgery and adjuvant therapy. We expect to report additional data on TG4050 from the 24-month median follow-up of Phase I patients in our head and neck cancer trial in November 2024 at the SITC conference.”
