(“Candel” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: CADL), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel viral immunotherapies, today announced presentation of updated data from a phase 1 clinical trial of CAN-3110 in patients with recurrent high-grade glioma (rHGG). An overview of this data will be presented in-person at the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) 27th Annual Meeting today starting at 5:30 pm ET in Tampa, Florida. Data will be reported from 41 patients who were administered CAN-3110, with 40 patients having received a single injection and one patient having received two injections. There were no dose-limiting toxicities. The median overall survival was 11.6 months. In-depth biomarker analyses show a statistically significant expansion of activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells effector cells in multiple tumor lesions following a single injection of CAN-3110. Diversity of the T cell receptor repertoire after CAN-3110 administration was reported to be associated with overall survival. Next, the Company will examine whether multiple injections of CAN-3110 over time could lead to further improvement in overall survival (NCT03152318, clinicaltrials.gov). “Patients with high-grade glioma whose cancer has recurred following initial standard of care treatments face a daunting challenge, with most succumbing to their disease within months due to a lack of effective therapies,” said Paul Peter Tak, MD, PhD, FMedSci, President and Chief Executive Officer of Candel Therapeutics. “We believe CAN-3110 is the first HSV-based viral immunotherapy candidate designed to leverage the ICP34.5 gene, which plays a key role in the viral anti-host response. The absence of observed dose-limiting toxicities in 41 patients and a median overall survival rate of one ...
