Further CAN-003 trial information will be presented by Dr. Jeffrey Goh at the European Cancer Congress in Amsterdam on October 1st, 2013.

About the CAN-003 trial

CAN-003 is a 63-patient phase 2 study evaluating the effects of CVac, as compared to an observation-only control arm, in epithelial ovarian cancer patients in complete remission after first or second line treatment. The primary objectives of the trial are to determine the safety of CVac administration and to determine CVac’s effect on progression-free survival. Secondary objectives of the trial are to determine CVac’s effect of overall survival and to evaluate host immunologic responses to CVac. In accordance with the protocol design, the first seven patients on the trial were all assigned to receive CVac in order to test the comparability of product manufacturing in a new facility. The subsequent 56 patients were randomized in a 1:1 fashion and assigned to either the CVac group or observational control group.
