Dosing starts in Ph I trial of Immutep's pancreatic cancer drug
Orsay, France-based drug developer Immutep SA says that the first pancreatic cancer patients have been given IMP321 in a Phase I trial conducted in the USA.
IMP321 is a first-in-class immunopotentiator that stimulates antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells and monocytes, leading to markedly improved cytotoxic CD8 T cells responses against tumors in patients. The pancreatic cancer trial follows the promising results obtained in metastatic breast cancer with a similar chemo-immunotherapy protocol.
