Positive Phase 1/2 Data for GT-30 Trial of Personalized Therapeutic Cancer Vaccine Announced
“Other recent industry trials have tested personalized cancer vaccines in patients with highly immune-sensitive tumor phenotypes and no measurable disease. In marked contrast, the GT-30 trial assesses PTCVs in HCC, a cancer with very low tumor mutational burden and an immune-excluded phenotype, and in patients with significant late-stage unresectable and metastatic disease,” said Niranjan Sardesai, PhD, CEO and president of Geneos. “Despite the small size of this study, our results are important for the advancement of the field. We have not only met endpoints for safety, immunogenicity, and clinical efficacy based on ORR in this difficult to treat setting, but our mechanism of action data trace and confirm every step, from vaccination to tumor reduction, required to explain the immunological basis for the observed clinical responses.”

CEO Snehal Patel commented, “We are very encouraged to see that the preliminary results from FLAMINGO-01 show immune responses in both HLA-A*02 and non-HLA-A*02 patients. We are now considering the merits of adding a randomized placebo arm for non-HLA-A*02 patients, transforming this current open label third arm into effectively a
