Peregrine Pharmaceuticals Announces Initiation of an Investigator-Sponsored Trial Combining Its Immunotherapy Bavituximab and Ipilimumab (Yervoy(R)) in Advanced Melanoma
Marketwire - Wed Apr 23, 6:30AM CDT
Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPHM) (NASDAQ: PPHMP) today announced the opening of an investigator-sponsored trial (IST) of its investigational immunotherapy bavituximab in combination with Bristol-Myers Squibb's ipilimumab (Yervoy(R)), for the treatment of advanced melanoma. Bavituximab is an upstream immune checkpoint inhibitor that targets phosphatidylserine (PS), a highly immunosuppressive molecule exposed on cells that line tumor blood vessels and tumor cells. Preclinical data in a model of melanoma demonstrate that the combination of a bavituximab equivalent and ipilimumab yield enhanced anti-tumor activity compared to ipilimumab alone. The trial is being conducted at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, and led by Arthur E. Frankel, M.D., Associate Professor of Internal Medicine at the Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center. Bavituximab, Peregrine's lead immuno-oncology candidate, is being evaluated in second-line non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as part of the SUNRISE pivotal Phase III clinical trial.
Data Presented at AACR Support Potential of Peregrine's PS-Targeting Immunotherapy Bavituximab to Enhance Anti-Tumor and Immune-Stimulating Effects of Anti-CTLA-4 and Anti-PD-1 Treatments in Models of Melanoma and Colon Cancer
Marketwire - Wed Apr 09, 10:01AM CDT
Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPHM) (NASDAQ: PPHMP), today announced data from studies validating the immune-stimulatory mechanism of action of bavituximab and demonstrating that the combination of a preclinical phosphatidylserine (PS)-targeting antibody with the immune checkpoint inhibitors anti-CTLA-4 or anti-PD-1 antibodies yielded superior anti-tumor immune responses in animal models of melanoma and colon cancer compared to anti-CTLA-4 and PD-1 antibodies alone. These data were presented yesterday and today as a late-breaking poster presentation and a poster presentation, respectively at the 105th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) being held in San Diego, California from April 5-9, 2014. Bavituximab is an investigational immunotherapy currently being evaluated in second-line, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as part of the SUNRISE pivotal Phase III clinical trial.
