Scott Antonia : Peregrine Pharmaceuticals KOL

Raising Target Price to $43.50 as CBMG Acquiring First U.S. Program: Yesterday, CBMG announced they are acquiring CD40LGVAX, an “off-the-shelf” lung adenocarcinoma vaccine in combination with Bristol-Myers Squibb’s (NYSE:BMY Not Rated) anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor Nivolumab (Opdivo®) for clinical trials at the Moffitt Cancer Center. This represents CBMG’s first program in the United States, which will be led by the inventor, Scott Antonia, MD, Ph.D., of the Department Chair of Thoracic Oncology and Program Leader of the Immuno-Oncology Program at the Moffitt Cancer Center and a member of CBMG’s Scientific Advisory Board. The addition of CD40LGVAX to Nivolumab therapy may result in longer overall survival for non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients that are PDL1 negative and may be synergistic for patients that are PDL1 positive. (see CD40LGVAX Vaccine in Combination with Nivolumab (Opdivo®))

Clinical Trials: CBMG’s lung adenocarcinoma vaccine CD40LGVAX will be combined with Bristol-Myers Squibb’s anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor Nivolumab (Opdivo®) in a 3 patient lead-in Phase I clinical trial followed by a randomized Phase II clinical trial in patients with Stage IV unresectable non-small cell lung (NSCLC) cancer. The clinical trials are expected to commence in H2’15.
