Ph 3 Study Evaluating PDS0101 + KEYTRUDA in Head and Neck Cancer to Initiate in 2023
“With the maturing data from VERSATILE-002, we are pleased to now have visibility into the progression free survival and potential overall survival, and we are excited to move into the final stage of development for our lead asset, PDS0101. The initiation of a randomized, controlled Phase 3 registrational trial of PDS0101 in combination with KEYTRUDA® as a potential treatment for recurrent or metastatic HPV16-positive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is a significant milestone for the Company,” stated said Dr. Frank Bedu-Addo, PDS Biotech CEO. “Head and neck cancer remains a devastating diagnosis with a significant unmet medical need. Our goal is to advance this Phase 3 trial as expeditiously as possible to provide additional treatment options for these patients. We are proud to have achieved this milestone on the eve of Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Month.”
