SEOUL,South Korea,Aug. 23,2024 -- CanariaBio Inc,a leading late-stage biotechnology company,announces the successful completion of enrollment of 88 patients in a randomized Phase 2 study of oregovomab in combination with chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) as neo-adjuvant treatment of patients with newly diagnosed advanced epithelial ovarian cancer.
This trial,known as FLORA-6 (NCT05605535) is a Phase 2,double-blinded,placebo-controlled,multi centered clinical trial in neo-adjuvant setting in patients with newly diagnosed advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. The study will assess 12 months progression free survival (PFS) rate,PFS,overall survival (OS),disease control rate,the immunological and early humoral response of concomitant oregovomab and chemotherapy.
Ovarian cancer is known for its high recurrence rate. Despite numerous clinical trials conducted,the development of an effective and specific treatment has proven challenging due to treatment resistance,toxicity,and limited efficacy. In this difficult landscape,oregovomab has the potential of emerging as a promising immunotherapeutic agent.
About Oregovomab
Oregovomab is a murine monoclonal antibody against CA 125,a biomarker commonly found in ovarian cancer. Indirect immunization with oregovomab interacts with immune modulating properties of infused paclitaxel and carboplatin resulting in synergistic clinical benefits as observed in a Phase II trial (Gynecology Oncology (2020) 156:523-529). Oregovomab is currently undergoing multiple clinical trials for the treatment of ovarian cancer in various setting including a Phase 3 study (NCT04498117,NCT05605535,NCT05335993,NCT05407584,NCT04938583)
