ImmunoCellular Therapeutics, Ltd to Present Long-term Survival Data from Clinical Study of ICT-107 in Glioblastoma Multiforme at American Society of Clinical Oncology Meeting

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ImmunoCellular Therapeutics, Ltd. (NYSE MKT: IMUC), announced today it will present new data from the previously completed Phase I clinical trial of ICT-107, the Company’s lead cancer vaccine candidate for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), at the 2012 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago, IL. The abstract, titled “Correlation of survival with tumor antigen expression in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma receiving a multi-epitope pulsed dendritic cell vaccine” (Abstract #2087), has been accepted for presentation on June 2, 2012 from 1:15 PM to 5:15 PM, during the Central Nervous System Tumors General Poster Session. The data will show that there is downregulation of both the tumor associated antigens that ICT-107 is targeting as well as CD-133, a cancer stem cell (CSC) marker, in some of the patients. These observations suggest that targeting antigens highly expressed by CSCs is a promising strategy for treating patients with GBM.
