In initial results from the AMPLIFY-201 trial, co-led by Shubham Pant, M.D., an immunotherapy vaccine targeting the lymph nodes showed potential in delaying relapse of KRAS-mutated pancreatic and colorectal cancers for patients who had previously undergone surgery. Long-term final follow-up data of this vaccine, ELI-002 2P, now shows that 17 of 25 patients (68%) had robust T cell responses, which were associated with increased survival. At 24 months, the median recurrence-free survival had not yet been reached for the higher response group – including all of the patients at the highest two dose levels – with 75% of them still relapse-free, compared to three months for patients who were not high responders. These data prompted the initiation of a Phase II trial that is currently ongoing and includes a new formulation of the vaccine (ELI-002 7P) targeting additional KRAS mutations.
