VBI Vaccines and Agenus Announce Collaboration to Evaluate VBI-1901 in Combination with Balstilimab in a Ph 2 Study in Primary Glioblastoma Patients
David E. Anderson, Ph.D., VBI’s Chief Scientific Officer, commented, “GBMs are notoriously one of the most immunosuppressive solid tumors, which is why there are few effective treatment options. Based upon the encouraging data we have observed to date, we believe VBI-1901 has the potential to activate and boost specific T cell immunity capable of trafficking to the tumor microenvironment. We are now adding an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody to the treatment regimen as it may help to further enhance and sustain a meaningful anti-tumor immune response – an anti-PD-1 is designed to prolong the life of these T cells so that they may have greater opportunity to infiltrate and kill tumor cells. Given this potential synergy, we are excited to be partnering with Agenus in this clinical collaboration.”
