RE: Have we missed something?20 Aug 2023 09:20
I think AVCT clearly are interested in breast cancer and ovarian, but equally clearly, that due to the costs etc involved, it would be after Phase 1b. To infer anything more is probably a bit speculative.
The below are Alistair’s and Fiona’s replies from the AGM:
Alistair
Yeah, I mean, obviously, there's resource constraints, because to take it into another clinical trial in an indication like breast and ovarian would, and again, I'll look to Elliot and Fiona to comment, would be far more expensive than going into soft tissue sarcoma. So yes, I mean, we certainly are thinking about what those other indications are that we can go into. I would say post phase 1b when we have a good efficacy signal, I hope from from patients in soft tissue sarcoma, then we can think about opportunities to go into other indications. Fiona?
Fiona’s reply was more lengthy and concluded with “So you have to have a different type of trial design with a lot of patients for that to be successful. So that's something you could do again, after a significant amount of financial backing to do that study, but I definitely think breast and ovarian are two areas where we would have a significant amount of of interest to do those trials.”
