Generex Biotechnology Corporation (GNBT) announced today presentation of early results from an efficacy study of an immunotherapeutic in triple negative breast cancer patients from its wholly owned subsidiary, Antigen Express, Inc.
The results will be made at the 2012 ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) Breast Cancer Symposium on September 14th.
Dr. Elizabeth Mittendorf, the Principal Investigator of the ongoing Phase II trial of the immunotherapeutic AE37, will be presented the study results. While the study showed an overall reduction of 42% in the risk of relapse in all patients of the study who received the vaccine, the reduction in the risk of relapse was 66% in patients with low expression of the HER2 oncoprotein who were classified as having triple negative breast cancer.
Dr. Mittendorf commented:
The suggestion of the ability of AE37 to prevent recurrence in breast cancer patients is very encouraging. This is particularly so in patients with triple negative disease, for whom treatment options are extremely limited.
Antigen’s AE37 is in late stage Phase II clinical development. Based upon positive data obtained to date, the company is proceeding with plans for a pivotal Phase III trial.
