The presentation will provide an update on four ongoing PDS0101 phase 2 clinical trials. In the Versatile-002 clinical trial, PDS Biotech is collaborating with MERCK & Co., to evaluate the combination of PDS0101 and KEYTRUDA® (NCT04260126). Versatile-002 is studying the combination in first-line treatment of recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer, and in second-line treatment of recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer in patients who have failed prior checkpoint inhibitor therapy. In addition, the Company is conducting a phase 2 clinical study in both second- and third-line treatment of multiple advanced HPV-associated cancers. This study is being led by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). A third phase 2 clinical trial (IMMUNOCERV) in first-line treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer is being led by The University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center. A fourth phase 2 clinical trial of PDS0101 led by the Mayo Clinic is being performed in early-stage HPV-associated head and neck cancer where treatment occurs prior to surgery.
The presentation will also provide updates on the progression of two other Versamune®-based investigational pipeline immuno-oncology products. PDS0102 (Versamune® + TARP), which addresses prostate cancer, breast cancer and AML, and PDS0103 (Versamune® + MUC1) which addresses multiple cancers including breast, colon, lung, and ovarian cancers. The presentation will also address the Company’s infectious disease pipeline which is based on its Infectimune™ platform.
Following the conference, a webcast replay of the presentation will be available on the Investor section of the company’s website, PDS Biotechnology.
About PDS Biotechnology
PDS Biotech is a clinical-stage immunotherapy company developing a growing pipeline of cancer and infectious disease immunotherapies based on the Company’s proprietary Versamune® and Infectimune™ T-cell activating technology platforms.
Our Versamune®-based products have demonstrated the potential to overcome the limitations of current immunotherapy by inducing in vivo, large quantities of high-quality, highly potent polyfunctional tumor specific CD4+ helper and CD8+ killer T-cells. PDS Biotech has developed multiple therapies, based on combinations of Versamune® and disease-specific antigens, designed to train the immune system to better recognize diseased cells and effectively attack and destroy them. The Company’s pipeline products address various cancers including HPV16-associated cancers (anal, cervical, head and neck, penile, vaginal, vulvar) and breast, colon, lung, prostate and ovarian cancers.
Our Infectimune™-based vaccines have demonstrated the potential to induce not only robust and durable neutralizing antibody responses, but also powerful T-cell responses including long-lasting memory T-cell responses.
