AIVITA Biomedical Announces Publication Detailing 50% Enhanced Survival in Phase 2 GBM Study

AIVITA Biomedical, Inc., a biotech company specializing in innovative cell applications, announced that the Journal of Oncology Research and Therapy has published data from its completed Phase 2 glioblastoma study which demonstrates enhanced progression-free survival.

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AIVITA Biomedical, Inc., a biotech company specializing in innovative cell applications, today announced that the Journal of Oncology Research and Therapy has published data from its completed Phase 2 glioblastoma (GBM) study which demonstrates enhanced progression-free survival (PFS). The publication, titled “Enhanced Progression-Free Survival in a Phase 2 Trial of Personal Dendritic Cell Vaccines in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma” can be viewed online at: http://www.doi.org/10.29011/2574-710X.010149

“The strengths of our approach include its lack of toxicity and the ability to pair it with other treatment modalities such as chemotherapy, inhibitors of angiogenesis and immune checkpoints,” said Robert O. Dillman, chief medical officer at AIVITA.

AIVITA completed a multi-center Phase 2 trial of its immunotherapy candidate, AV-GBM-1, which had demonstrated an encouraging 50% improvement in PFS over standard of care in patients with a recent diagnosis of GBM. This publication focuses on PFS resulting from AV-GBM-1 administration and compares the results to those reported in GBM trials of other therapies. The data suggest that continuous treatment could further improve progression-free survival and overall survival.

“AIVITA has developed an inexpensive, pain-free personal immunotherapy that meaningfully increases survival,” said Hans S. Keirstead, chairman and chief executive officer of AIVITA. “These data are a significant milestone in our quest to make GBM a non-lethal and manageable disease.”
