RE: Current ‘Standard Of Care’ PFS at 24 months.23 May 2026 19:29
Thank you Vascular,
Selected from that news article that is dated 4 years ago - 13/04/2022.
“The six-month PFS was 34% for patients who received the combination compared with 13% for those who received ipilimumab alone. At a median follow-up of 24.4 months, 39 patients who were given ipilimumab plus nivolumab had died, compared with 12 who had received ipilimumab. Mario Sznol, MD, a professor of medicine (medical oncology) with Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale New Haven in Conn., served as a discussant for the AACR session and noted that the difference in PFS between the two arms closed after six months.
“Although that six-month PFS looks very nice, 34% versus 13% with a single agent, the durable PFS difference declines to less than 10% by 18-24 months. [It’s] an impressive result, but not as impressive as we would have liked,” he said.
I think the subsequent phase 3 trial produced the PFS figures used by Scancell.
Not a definitive 24 month report but it clearly shows that our current 77% is a massive improvement from those earlier studies.
Scancell’s immunotherapy is a real game changer in the fight against Melanoma cancer.
👊👊
