Transgene announced the dosing of the first patient in the Phase 2 trial evaluating TG4010 in combination with Opdivo® (nivolumab) and chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with low or no expression of PD-L1 by the tumor cells. The Phase 2 clinical trial is exploring the tolerability and efficacy of the combination regimen of Transgene’s TG4010, an investigational active immunotherapy against MUC1 tumor-associated antigen, with Bristol-Myers Squibb’s immune checkpoint inhibitor, Opdivo® (nivolumab), which acts by overcoming immune suppression, and standard platinum doublet chemotherapy. This multi-center single-arm trial will enroll up to 39 patients (without EGFR activating mutations or ALK-rearrangements), both in the USA and Europe. The trial has objective tumor responses rate (ORR) as primary endpoint. The study will also assess the safety and tolerability of the regimen together with other efficacy and immunological parameters. The first results are expected in half year of 2018.
