Important part of that trial;
Some 11 per cent of men with very advanced prostate cancer are still benefiting from the immunotherapy ‘checkpoint inhibitor’ pembrolizumab after a year – with many of them showing impressive remissions and prolonged disease control.
The international trial, led by a team at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, and The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, could lead to a subset of prostate cancers joining the list of cancers that can be treated with immunotherapy.
Of the 258 men on the trial with advanced prostate cancer receiving pembrolizumab, 38 per cent of men were still alive after a year and 11 per cent are still receiving the treatment a year after the trial began without seeing their cancer grow.
Now tell me if I am wrong, and although I appreciate our combo trial had smaller numbers but more heavily pretreated, Advaxis combo data looks a lot better than Keytruda alone.
