OncoSec Medical Incorporated announced it has established a collaboration with the GOG Foundation Inc. to conduct a registration-enabled study of TAVO™ (tavokinogene telseplasmid) in women with recurrent/persistent cervical cancer (OMS-150). In this registration-directed clinical trial, OncoSec and GOG will evaluate the combination of TAVO and commercially available KEYTRUDA with the goal of achieving a clinically meaningful response rate greater than what has already been demonstrated with KEYTRUDA alone (14%). OncoSec and the GOG Foundation plan to enroll approximately 80 to 100 patients, who qualify for standard of care treatment with KEYTRUDA, in this single-arm study with TAVO. The trial will be open to patients with surface or subcutaneous lesions that are accessible via TAVO's current delivery system. Patient enrollment is expected to begin in the first half of 2019. Importantly, should a clinically meaningful increase be observed in patients receiving the TAVO beyond that which they receive from KEYTRUDA alone, OncoSec plans to seek accelerated approval of TAVO in this patient population. The study will be conducted within GOG Foundation's network under OncoSec's investigational new drug (IND) application for TAVO. The GOG Foundation is a world-renowned non-profit organization with the purpose of conducting clinical research for the prevention and treatment of all gynecologic cancers, such as ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, vulvar cancer, and vaginal cancer. Its members make up a multi-disciplinary group, consisting of gynecologic oncologists, medical oncologists, pathologists, radiation oncologists, nurses, statisticians, and basic scientists.
