100% Overall Survival Rate in 14 Evaluable Patients at One-Year Follow-Up
BATON ROUGE, La., Dec. 21, 2017 — OncBioMune Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCQB:OBMP) (“OncBioMune” or the “Company”), a revenue-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development of a proprietary immunotherapy cancer vaccine technology, targeted cancer therapies and commercialization of a portfolio of products internationally, is pleased to provide one-year follow-up results from the Company’s Phase 1 clinical trial of ProscaVax for prostate cancer.
In the trial, hormone-naïve and hormone-independent recurrent prostate cancer patients with increasing prostate specific antigen (PSA) were treated with six intradermal injections of ProscaVax. ProscaVax is OncBioMune’s novel immunotherapeutic cancer vaccine consisting of a combination of prostate cancer associated PSA with the biological adjuvants interleukin-2 (IL-2) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF).
The latest data shows:
- Progression-Free Survival 71.4%: 10 of 14 patients (71.4%), who have been followed for one year after initiation of ProscaVax therapy, continue to have stable disease
- Overall Survival 100%: None of the 14 evaluable patients have died at one-year follow-up
- As previously disclosed, four patients had disease progression within 19 weeks (3 PSA progression and 1 radiological progression). No further progression has been noted from week 19 to one year
- Data continues to confirm there were no drug-related serious adverse events or dose-limiting toxicities resulting from ProscaVax therapy
- Six of the 20 patients enrolled in the trial have not yet been followed for one year, evaluations to follow
“I continue to be impressed with the clinical results on ProscaVax. These results support the benefit of this first-in-class immunotherapy and offers hope to cancer patients in great need,” commented Dr. Jonathan Head, Chief Executive Officer at OncBioMune. “These are men who have tried conventional treatments only to have their cancer return and where ProscaVax now seems to be delivering a therapeutic benefit. While Progression-Free Survival and Overall Survival are benchmarks of later-stage studies and not the primary endpoints in our Phase 1 clinical trial, it is hard to overlook the finding that patients with progressing disease now have stable disease following ProscaVax therapy. We need to conduct a larger-scale clinical trial and build more complete data sets to confirm these results, but all signs at this time are pointing to ProscaVax having a meaningful effect by increasing PSA doubling time and inhibiting tumor growth in prostate cancer. It is reason to be optimistic about the next stage of research.”
