Oxford BioMedica develops strategic development plan with the commercialisation of TroVax
TroVax(r) is Oxford BioMedica's lead cancer immunotherapy. Based on the broad distribution of the 5T4 tumour antigen, TroVax(r) has potential application in a wide range of solid tumours, including renal, colorectal, lung, breast and prostate cancer. Earlier this month Oxford BioMedica announced that it has successfully completed patient enrolment in the Phase III TRIST study. Over 690 patients have been randomised to-date and a sufficient number of additional patients are being screened for inclusion such that the total enrolment is expected to slightly exceed the target of 700 patients. Over 100 sites in the USA, European Union and Eastern Europe have recruited patients into the trial. The trial started in November 2006; recruitment has been completed on schedule and final results from the study are anticipated in the first half of 2009.
