"The strengths of our approach include its lack of toxicity and the ability to pair it with other treatment modalities such as chemotherapy, inhibitors of angiogenesis and immune checkpoints," said Robert O. Dillman, chief medical officer at AIVITA.
AIVITA completed a multi-center Phase 2 trial of its immunotherapy candidate, AV-GBM-1, which had demonstrated an encouraging 50% improvement in PFS over standard of care in patients with a recent diagnosis of GBM. This publication focuses on PFS resulting from AV-GBM-1 administration and compares the results to those reported in GBM trials of other therapies. The data suggest that continuous treatment could further improve progression-free survival and overall survival.
"AIVITA has developed an inexpensive, pain-free personal immunotherapy that meaningfully increases survival," said Hans S. Keirstead, chairman and chief executive officer of AIVITA. "These data are a significant milestone in our quest to make GBM a non-lethal and manageable disease."
