ORR and Date29 Oct 2024 09:01
My take on likely ORR and results date.
What we know:-
On 24/7 with 32/43 patients recruited Scancell stated Q4 for SCIB1 results
On 24/9 with 36/43 patients recruited they stated Q4 for SCIB1 results
On 25/10 with 41/43 patients recruited they still stated Q4 for SCIB1 results
This re-iteration of Q4 right up to the AGM tells me that they have confidence that Q4 will be met. It's not impossible that it won't be, but that clearly would require the scans that are done over the next few weeks to be completely off trend vs what they have obviously seen so far.
What else can we glean from this ? Well the earliest point a responder can we detected is the 12 week scan, and so only the 36 patients recruited by 24/9 will have had their at least their 12 week scan by Christmas. This must indicate that Scancell have a confident expectation, based on what they have been seeing right up to the date of the AGM where they restated Q4 for results, that they will hit 27 responders from this 36. So this implies a 'worst case' of 75% ORR (27/36), but I'd expect slightly better than that for Scancell to be positioning the results as 4Q (relying on 27 out of 36 would be cutting it too fine) which would mean that they expect to hit the 27 with less than 36 scanned patients i.e. maybe 27/33 (ORR 81.8%) or 27/34 (ORR 79.4%).
Based on the above I'd be expecting the results in late Nov / early Dec with ORR of 82%.
Just my opinion.
