Scancell and Cancer Research UK provide an update on the development of SCIB2, a novel cancer immunotherapy
SCIB2 to be administered using new nanoparticle formulation in planned Phase 1/2 clinical trial
Scancell Holdings PLC, a developer of novel immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer, and Cancer Research UK, the world's leading cancer charity dedicated to saving lives through research, are pleased to provide an update on their clinical development partnership* for the development of Scancell's ImmunoBody® vaccine, SCIB2, as a potential treatment for patients with solid tumours, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Scancell's ImmunoBody® immunotherapy platform activates the body's immune system by enhancing the uptake and presentation of cancer antigens to help target and eliminate cancer cells. SCIB2, Scancell's second ImmunoBody® therapy, targets an antigen called NY-ESO-1, which is expressed on a range of solid tumours, including NSCLC, oesophageal, ovarian, bladder and prostate cancers, neuroblastoma, melanoma and sarcoma.
Ratty, yeah i like that a lot, especially the comments by Blackburn of CRUK. Well we were due an update on SCIB2, and still we have a lot of news to come. The tide is changing as each RNS gets better and takes us nearer to clinical trials, our ultimate goal. Think we can workout expected timelines, and for newbies remember CRUK are funding this trial fully.
