BATON ROUGE, LA-(May 03, 2017) - OncBioMune Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCQB: OBMP) (“OncBioMune” or the “Company”), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development of targeted cancer therapies and a proprietary vaccine technology, is pleased to announce that the 20 patient enrollment has been completed in the Company’s Phase 1 clinical trial of ProscaVax as a novel vaccine treatment for prostate cancer. In the study, ProscaVax is being evaluated for safety, tolerability and efficacy in prostate specific antigen (PSA) progressing prostate cancer in hormone-naïve and hormone-independent patients. ProscaVax is an immunotherapeutic cancer vaccine consisting of a combination of the tumor-associated antigen PSA with the biological adjuvants interleukin-2 (IL-2) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF).
The trial is being hosted at the University of California San Diego Moores Cancer Center and the Veterans Hospital in La Jolla, California under an IND from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration with funding from the U.S. Navy Cancer Vaccine Program. 20 patients have now been enrolled in the study, meeting protocol enrollment for the first stage of the study. The original study design included a second stage, which OncBioMune has previously disclosed that it will forego due to favorable interim safety results from the first stage to initiate two Phase 2 clinical trials evaluating ProscaVax in both late-stage prostate cancer and also in early-stage prostate cancer patients.
“We are very pleased to have reached this milestone to complete the first clinical trial of ProscaVax,” commented Dr. Jonathan Head, Chief Executive Officer at OncBioMune. “The interim data to date has been extremely compelling, demonstrating the strong safety and tolerability profile of ProscaVax, as well as indications of efficacy with respect to slowing tumor progression and supporting an immune response to disease. Based upon the data and years of previous research, we remain optimistic that ProscaVax has a future as a meaningful therapeutic for the millions of people affected by prostate cancer.”
