Initial Data Shows 100% Disease Control in all 5 Recurrent GBM patients and Near CR in 2, Treated With ANKTIVA® + Optune Gio® Device
“Although they are early, these results are very encouraging, given the high risk and low survival rates associated with GBM,” added Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, Founder, Executive Chairman and Global Chief Scientific and Medical Officer at ImmunityBio. “There is compelling evidence that ANKTIVA’s mechanism of proliferating NK and T cells plays an important role in treating patients with cancer Independent of tumor type. By activating the immune system the goal of providing durable responses is at hand. We believe these preliminary results in patients with GBM, whose lymphocyte counts (NK and T cells) are low as a consequence of radiation and chemotherapy after first-line treatment, can be rescued following ANKTIVA and NK cell therapy, and warrant the rapid expansion of this study in recurrent glioblastoma.”
