Morning All30 Aug 2019 06:58
The sun is rising so much later and setting so much earlier, much to my liking as it leaves less time for the humidity to sap the last breathes out of me.
But yesterday was extraordinary, mostly housebound still, I managed by bus and feet to get three very important jobs done, the first time in a few years. That was joy, hope and achievement for me. I didn"t try and post in a balanced way, it came from a genuine place, people argue about RNSs whether they be good or bad every day, as I explained yesterday I wasn"t happy, nor am I with the manner the BOD dealt with it, but here is the RNS.............................(shortened)
The Phase 2 study is designed to assess whether the addition of SCIB1 to pembrolizumab will result in an improvement in the tumour response rate, progression-free survival and overall survival in 25 patients with advanced melanoma, who are also eligible for treatment with pembrolizumab. Professor Poulam Patel, Chief Investigator for the SCIB1 Phase 1/2 clinical trial and Professor of Clinical Oncology at the University of Nottingham, will now be the Chief Investigator for the Phase 2 study. Patient enrolment into the UK arm of the study will commence immediately.
Dr Cliff Holloway, Chief Executive Officer, Scancell, commented:
"We are pleased to be able to advance our SCIB1 Phase 2 trial in the UK as we believe that SCIB1 administration with an immune checkpoint inhibitor such as pembrolizumab has the potential to offer greater efficacy than when either agent is used alone. Whilst it is disappointing that discussions in the US have taken longer than anticipated, we will continue our dialogue with both Ichor and the Agency, and plan to resubmit the IND as soon as possible."
Professor Poulam Patel, Chief Investigator, commented:
"There remains an urgent need for improved therapies in melanoma. Based upon our previous successful trial with SCIB1 alone we are excited to see if the addition of SCIB1 to current, standard treatment with pembrolizumab increases our anti-cancer response rate."
Save for repetition the U.K. arm is going ahead. I am thrilled the American side is on hold, due to an Ichor
/FDA problem. So SCIB1 mono was u.k. arm only and until we learn more from Scancell, as reported we are back in trial and as I said yesterday........................""".So rather than constantly bleating about it on here, and that is not directed at you Deadly, I will simply ask the BOD why at the AGM.""".
Patients will be dosed, lives will be saved and that data will be ours.
As I said last night Vulpes and a serious buyer are not disappointed nor frustrated, full of hope and see us as a great investment. So watch that bid today, hopefully it will rise to 7p, but expect more big sells and 250k buys.
A glass half full, tell me about it, one day they overflow too. ATB
