Phenomenal results (so far!) from
@avacta
's #AVA6000 Phase 1a trial.
These results genuinely set the ground for #AVCT to revolutionize the treatability of the majority of solid tumours. There is so much to cover (which I will do in a long note), but a key quote from the CEO is:
"Targeting potent therapies to the tumour, while limiting the systemic toxicity that often characterises these therapies, is one of the holy grails of cancer drug development....
...The potential of the pre|CISION platform to change the way in which potent cytotoxic drugs are delivered, improving cancer patients' quality of life and treatment outcomes, is truly remarkable."
The fact that multiple instances of highly encouraging efficacy data have been witnessed in this patient population - who are very sick, and heavily pre-treated, and whose tumours are often not treated with dox at all - makes it all the more remarkable.
I am quite sure that this is the firing gun for commercialization of the platform (licensing, collaborations) with Big Pharma.
Huge congratulations to the Avacta team. pre | CISION is going to change one of the most important industries on the planet.
