- A study in China found that immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based treatments improved survival in heavily pretreated microsatellite stable (MSS) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. - Combinations of ICI with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), with or without chemotherapy, demonstrated meaningful survival improvements and a manageable safety profile. - Another phase 2 trial showed that GRANITE, combined with ICIs and bevacizumab/chemotherapy, improved progression-free survival (PFS) in first-line MSS mCRC, especially in patients with low ctDNA levels. - These findings support further investigation of immunotherapy rechallenge and personalized neoantigen targeting in MSS mCRC, addressing a critical unmet need.
• Self-amplifying mRNA (samRNA) vaccines offer potential advantages like extended efficacy and lower doses compared to traditional mRNA vaccines. • Regulatory hurdles and a lack of extensive experience have slowed the widespread adoption of samRNA technology. • Arcturus Therapeutics' Kostaive, approved in Japan, remains one of the few samRNA vaccines to reach the market, benefiting from pandemic-era acceleration. • Technical complexities and concerns about potential immune responses to the replicon component pose challenges for samRNA vaccine development.
• The FDA approved Roche's Itovebi, inavolisib, for HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer with PIK3CA mutation, to be used with Pfizer’s Ibrance and endocrine therapy. • Turnstone Biologics is restructuring, laying off 60% of its workforce to focus on a Phase 1 cancer cell therapy program for solid tumors, with updates expected next year. • Pfizer's Talzenna combined with Xtandi showed prolonged survival in advanced prostate cancer patients, regardless of genetic alterations, seeking expanded use. • Gritstone bio filed for bankruptcy after disappointing vaccine study results; Denali Therapeutics' multiple sclerosis drug, oditrasertib, failed in Phase 2 trial.
- Gritstone Bio has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to facilitate a strategic alternatives process and potentially save its clinical programs. - The company is in discussions for a stalking horse transaction, aiming to maximize asset value and continue development of its vaccine programs. - Gritstone's pipeline includes a Phase II personalized vaccine for colorectal cancer (Granite) and a therapeutic vaccine for HIV in partnership with Gilead. - Interim Phase II data from the Granite program showed a 21% relative risk reduction of progression or death, with greater benefit in patients with lower disease burden.
- Interim Phase 2 data shows Gritstone's GRANITE vaccine, combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors, reduces the risk of disease progression or death by 21% in advanced colorectal cancer patients. - In patients with low circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), the vaccine demonstrated a more significant 38% relative risk reduction of progression or death. - The GRANITE vaccine was well-tolerated, with no treatment discontinuations due to adverse events, mainly causing mild, flu-like symptoms. - Gritstone plans to discuss these findings with the FDA to determine the next steps, potentially including a Phase 2 or 3 trial using ctDNA levels for patient selection.
- Moderna is being sued by Genevant Sciences and Arbutus Biopharma for allegedly infringing six US patents related to lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology used in its COVID-19 vaccine. - The lawsuit seeks royalties for the use of patented LNP formulations that protect mRNA in vaccines, with potential damages based on Moderna's $18 billion projected 2021 vaccine sales. - The patent dispute stems from a long-standing legal battle dating back to 2018, when Moderna first attempted to invalidate Arbutus' key LNP patents. - Moderna denies the allegations and claims its vaccine is based on proprietary technology developed through years of mRNA platform research.
