Drug Discovery & Development - September 16, 2010
Vical Incorporated announced the achievement of key efficacy, immunogenicity and safety results in a Phase 2 trial, establishing its TransVax cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccine as the first to provide evidence of protection in immunocompromised hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients, and defining a potential pathway for further development.
"The TransVax vaccine has demonstrated the ability to drive effective immune responses in the inherently difficult therapeutic setting of immunocompromised patients," said CMV and organ transplant expert Mark D. Pescovitz, M.D. "In addition to providing evidence of protective efficacy in HCT recipients, the TransVax Phase 2 results have identified clinically relevant endpoints that may be appropriate for further development."
"We look forward to finalizing our approach through discussions with CMV and transplant experts, and reviewing our resulting plans with the regulatory agencies," said Richard T. Kenney, M.D., Vical's Vice President of Clinical Development.
