DURHAM, N.C., Jan. 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cancer Advances, Inc., a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutics for gastrointestinal cancers, will present a poster at the 2020 American Society of Clinical Oncology’s (ASCO) Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium being held from January 23-25, 2020 at the Moscone West Building in San Francisco, CA. The poster is entitled, “Use of gastrin vaccine to increase gamma-delta and NKT cells and alter pancreas tumor microenvironment to improve survival.”
The researchers examined whether Cancer Advances’ Polyclonal Antibody Stimulator (PAS) vaccine could alter the tumor microenvironment (TME) of pancreatic cancer and reduce metastasis in mice. The group also assessed the impact of combination therapy using PAS plus a PD-1 antibody on tumor volume and growth rate. The abstract is available at the ASCO meeting website at https://meetinglibrary.asco.org/record/182319/abstract.
Lynda Sutton, President, Cancer Advances Inc., and Jill Smith, MD, Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, Georgetown University, will be available to answer questions following the presentation.
