Dr Heather Shaw, Medical Oncologist, University College Hospital, London, UK commented: “Based upon the
emergent striking PFS, DCR and ORR results from cohort 1 so far and the lack of toxicity relating to the agent itself, SCIB1
is a promising product that would be a significant addition to ipilimumab and nivolumab and would be an important
step forward in improving first line therapy for advanced melanoma patients. “
Cohort 2, investigating SCIB1 in combination with pembrolizumab, has recruited 9/43 patients and cohort 3,
investigating the next generation, iSCIB1+ in combination with ipilimumab and nivolumab has recruited 33/43 patients.
The iSCIB1+ cohort has predominantly recruited the non HLA.A2 matched patients as these patients are being enrolled
in cohort 1. Once recruitment in cohort 1 is complete, HLA.A2 patients will be recruited to complete cohort 3 to give a
representative sample of the advanced melanoma patient population. It is anticipated that all cohort 3 patients will
reach week 25 during H2 2025. This will allow us to select the best vaccine for our planned phase 2/3 randomised,
adapted registration trial.
