A Phase III randomized double-blind, controlled study of ICT 107 with maintenance temozolomide (TMZ) in newly diagnosed glioblastoma following resection and concomitant TMZ chemoradiotherapy
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Autologous dendritic cells pulsed with HLA-specific peptides derived from tumor-associated antigens Indication Newly diagnosed glioblastoma Therapeutic Mechanism Autologous dendritic cells charged with peptides derived from tumor-associated antigens drive the formation of T cells that specifically target cancer stem cells and tumor cells Unmet Medical Need Patients with glioblastoma, a rare brain […]
Tumor stem cell-targeted immunotherapy for metastatic melanoma –a randomized phase 3 clinical trial.
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Tumor stem cell-targeted immunotherapy. Indication Metastatic melanoma. Therapeutic Mechanism Destruction of host tumor stem cells by adaptive humoral cellular immunity will eradicate the origin of melanoma which will extend patient survival. Unmet Medical Need There is no effective treatment for metastatic melanoma. This treatment is the only one to target tumor […]
