[{"type":"text","content":"First clinical study of immunocytokine with docetaxel in prostate cancer patients\nFLORHAM PARK, N.J., July 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PDS Biotechnology Corporation (Nasdaq: PDSB), a clinical-stage immunotherapy company developing a growing pipeline of targeted cancer immunotherapies and infectious disease vaccines based on the Company’s proprietary Versamune® and Infectimune™ T cell activating technologies, today announced that an abstract reporting on interim data from a first-in-human clinical trial evaluating the combination of PDS0301, an IL-12-based immunocytokine, with the chemotherapy medication docetaxel has been accepted for oral presentation at the 11th Annual Meeting of the International Cytokine & Interferon Society (Cytokines 2023). The abstract, titled, “Combining an IL-12-based Immunocytokine (PDS0301) with Docetaxel in Metastatic Prostate Cancer: Preliminary Safety and Immune Data”, will report interim safety and immune data on 18 patients in the clinical trial being led by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health. The trial is investigating the safety, immune responses and clinical activity of PDS0301 and docetaxel in metastatic castration-sensitive and castration-resistant prostate cancer patients. The study is designed to evaluate three dose levels of PDS0301 (8 mcg/kg, 12 mcg/kg, and 16.8 mcg/kg) in combination with docetaxel (75 mg/m2) administered every three weeks. “We look forward to Dr. Ravi Madan’s presentation of the interim safety, clinical outcomes and immune correlates for PDS0301 administered in combination with standard of care docetaxel in patients with advanced prostate cancer,” stated Dr. Lauren V. Wood, Chief Medical Officer of PDS Biotech. “This clinical trial provides an important opportunity to investigate the potential of PDS0301 combined with docetaxel chemotherapy to offer improved treatment options for patients with metastatic castration-sensitive and castration-resistant forms of prostate cancer. The results of this study could provide insight into the potential use of PDS0301 with chemotherapy across multiple solid tumors.” Abstract Title: Combining an IL-12-based Immunocytokine (PDS0301) with Docetaxel in Metastatic Prostate Cancer: Preliminary Safety and Immune DataPaper Number: 249Presenting Author: Head, Prostate Cancer Clinical Research Se...
