Early Ph IIb trial data show favorable trend for Transgene vaccine

15 June 2008

French immunotherapeutics specialist Transgene has reported promising preliminary data from a Phase IIb trial evaluating its vaccine TG4010 (MVA-MUC1-IL2) as an adjunct to first-line chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

This ongoing 148-patient trial is a randomized, open-label, controlled study designed to assess the efficacy of TG4010 in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine compared to the chemotherapy regimen alone. Half of the patients received the combination regimen (TG 4010 vaccine plus chemotherapy) and the other half were given chemotherapy alone.
