Strategic Repositioning of VB10.16 to Focus on Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer and Recurrent Metastatic Head and Neck Cancer
Michael Engsig, Chief Executive Officer of Nykode Therapeutics, stated: “The decision to focus on locally advanced cervical cancer and recurrent metastatic head and neck, and discontinue the C-04 trial in 2L cervical cancer, is part of our strategic repositioning to concentrate resources on the most commercially promising areas where we create significant benefits for patients in need, while generating value for shareholders. We remain highly enthusiastic about the broad potential of VB10.16 to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients with HPV-driven cancers. While we regret the impact of excluding 2L cervical cancer from our immediate pipeline, we are eager to advance VB10.16 where we see the highest likelihood of clinical efficacy and the greatest market potential.
