VIDEO: Immunotherapy combination demonstrates efficacy in advanced ovarian cancer

CHICAGO — Frederic Ors, BSc, CEO of IMV — a clinical stage immuno-oncology corporation — spoke with HemOnc Today about key data the company presented at ASCO Annual Meeting.

An oral presentation included positive data from the DeCidE1 study, which evaluated DPX-Survivac (IMV) — a T cell-activating immunotherapy that targets survivin — in combination with low-dose cyclophosphamide and epacadostat (INCB024360, Incyte), an IDO1 inhibitor.

The phase 1b/phase 2 trial included women with advanced recurrent ovarian cancer.

Other trials are underway to assess DPX-Survivac in combination with the anti-PD-1 therapy pembrolizumab (Keytruda, Merck) for treatment of ovarian cancer and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
