Galena Biopharma Presents Positive Final GALE-301 (E39) Phase 1/2a Clinical Trial Data
SAN RAMON, Calif. , March 17, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Galena Biopharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:GALE), a biopharmaceutical company developing hematology and oncology therapeutics that address unmet medical needs, today announced the final analysis from the Company’s GALE-301 (E39) investigator-sponsored Phase 1/2a clinical trial. The data was given during an oral presentation by Dr. Larry Maxwell at the Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer 2017 hosted by the Society of Gynecologic Oncology . The presentation was entitled, “Analysis of a Phase I/IIa Trial Assessing E39+GM-CSF, a Folate Binding Protein Vaccine, to Prevent Recurrence in Ovarian and Endometrial Cancer Patients.” GALE-301 is a cancer immunotherapy consisting of a peptide derived from Folate Binding Protein (FBP) combined with the immune adjuvant, granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) for the prevention of cancer recurrence in ovarian and endometrial cancer patients in the adjuvant setting.
“This final data from our early stage clinical trial demonstrates that GALE-301 is well tolerated and we were able to obtain statistically significant disease free survival in a small number of patients treated with the optimal dose,” said Bijan Nejadnik, M.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer. “The data also showed a meaningful correlation between delayed type hypersensitivity reactions and clinical outcomes indicating that the vaccine is able to generate an immune response. The results of the trial also reiterate our focus on treating patients with primary disease after their initial standard of care treatment where we believe GALE-301 may provide the most benefit. On behalf of the entire Galena team, we would like to thank Dr. Maxwell and Dr. George Peoples whose work on our immunotherapy vaccines targeting FBP have set the stage for potential future trials to prevent ovarian cancer recurrence.”
