Nykode Therapeutics ASA announced a collaboration with the GOG Foundation Inc. to conduct a clinical trial of VB10.16 in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor for the treatment of advanced cervical cancer in the U.S. The VB-C-04 trial will evaluate the combination therapies in patients with cervical cancer that have progressed following first line treatment. Nykode has previously reported positive interim data from the Phase 2 VB-C-02 trial in Europe in patients with heavily pre-treated advanced cervical cancer. VB10.16, wholly owned by Nykode, is a potentially first-in-class off-the-shelf therapeutic cancer vaccine candidate in development for the treatment of HPV16-positive cancers.
