To date, PFS at 22-months in Cohort 1 is 64.6%, whereas in Cohort 3 the PFS is 80.8% at 11-months, with the combined cohorts shown in Exhibit 4 plotted against SoC data for doublet CPIs ipilimumab/nivolumab (from Checkmate-067).
These data appear to suggest that responses achieved are highly durable and that once a patient has a response, this is maintained – longer follow-up data will be important in this regard. This is perhaps due to the CD8+ killer T-cell responses observed in the majority of patients with a clinical response; these T-cells direct tumour cytotoxicity and promote memory T-cell formation, which contribute to a prolonged clinical benefit. If the effects of iSCIB1+ can be maintained (ie are durable) this is a positive outcome for patients as it means they can live for longer without their disease worsening (a perhaps more meaningful real-world patient benefit than tumour shrinkage, ORR). This compelling PFS benefit has accelerated development plans for a potentially pivotal Phase IIb/III trial, with Scancell planning to meet with FDA later this year.
We expect an update on PFS, with longer follow-up, in Q425, as well as potential initial OS data, in addition to early data from Cohort 4 which is examining intradermal administration (PharmaJet’s Tropis) and an accelerated dosing regimen.
