First US Patient Dosed in TILT-123 Immunotherapy Ph 1 Clinical Trial in Ovarian Cancer
TILT Biotherapeutics’ CEO, Akseli Hemminki, a cancer clinician who has personally treated hundreds of cancer patients with earlier versions of oncolytic viruses, said, “Ovarian cancer is a killer disease with a pressing need for better therapies. There are no oncolytic viruses or check point inhibitors approved for use in that indication. The first US patient dosed is a significant milestone as we strive to make a difference using our armed oncolytic viruses in this difficult to treat disease. It’s a pleasure to work with the prestigious Mayo Clinic to deliver such innovation with impact. We are investing in our own US operations and opening US trial sites by the end of the year, as we advance towards Phase 2 trials.”
