Celldex Presents Data from Rindopepimut Phase II Trial

Data demonstrated a median overall survival of 24.6 months from diagnosis, which is consistent with the finding of two earlier studies.

MA-based Celldex Therapeutics has presented mature overall survival data from a Phase II trial of rindopepimut (CDX-110) in patients with EGFRvIII-positive glioblastoma.

 

Rindopepimut is an immunotherapeutic vaccine that acts by targeting tumour-specific oncogene EGFRvIII.

 

Data from the multicentre, single-arm ACT III study demonstrated a median overall survival of 24.6 months from diagnosis, which is consistent with the finding of two earlier studies.

 

The study also revealed a two-year survival rate of 52%, again similar to the previous studies, which indicated a 50% survival rate at two years.
