Ullevål University Hospital and GemVax collaborate on translational research
Ullevål University Hospital has now, in collaboration with GemVax, received regulatory approval to add a new treatment arm to the phase I/II pilot trial protocol. The intention is to investigate if initial treatment with cyclophosphamide affects the patients' immune response. Cyclophophamide is believed to down regulate so-called regulatory T cells, which contributes to controlling the immune response. The new treatment arm includes 10 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Treatments in the new trial arm have just started and the whole trial is expected to be completed in 2007.
