Targovax - ONCOS-102 plus durvalumab trial in spotlight
Targovax has announced that one of the trials with ONCOS-102, which is sponsored by Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, will be in the spotlight at this year's ASCO meeting. This is an open-label Phase I/II trial that is exploring the combination of intraperitoneally delivered ONCOS-102 and systemically administered checkpoint inhibitor durvalumab (anti-PD-L1, Imfinzi, AstraZeneca) in patients with ovarian or colorectal cancers metastasised to the peritoneum. An abstract from the dose-escalation part of the trial will be presented at ASCO. Although Targovax is not sponsoring the trial, this may become a new opportunity for the company. Targovax's two lead trials with ONCOS-102 in melanoma and mesothelioma are on track to deliver data later this year. Our valuation is virtually unchanged at NOK1.52bn or NOK20.0 per share.Targovax ASA is a Norway-based company active within the healthcare sector. The Company is developing two complementary and targeted approaches in immuno-oncology: a peptide-based immunotherapy platform for patients with RAS-mutated cancers and a virus-based immunotherapy platform based on engineered oncolytic viruses armed with potent immune-stimulating transgenes for patients with solid tumors. The Company's candidate, TG01, is a peptide vaccine that targets mutations in the RAS genes that are associated with cancer, and it is in a phase II clinical trial in pancreatic cancer. The Company's other RAS targeting immunotherapy, TG02 is developed for colorectal cancer treatment. The Company's adenoviral candidate, ONCOS-102 is developed for the treatment of solid tumors, such as melanoma as well as ovarian and prostate cancer.
