DURHAM, N.C., March 31, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Heat Biologics, Inc. (“Heat”) (Nasdaq:HTBX), a leader in the development of immunotherapies designed to activate a patient’s immune system against cancer, reported financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
“2016 was an eventful year, laying the foundation for the major clinical milestones and acquisition that we have announced so far in 2017,” said Jeff Wolf, Heat’s Founder and CEO. “Most recently, we shared preliminary results from our Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating our vaccine with an anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor. Our findings appear to further validate our vaccine’s ability to generate a robust T cell immune response, which may also enhance the efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors for the patients least likely to respond to these therapies. We are encouraged by the data as we advance our clinical programs.”
