The introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD-1/PD-L1) has revolutionized first-line treatment, but second-line options remain largely dependent on older chemotherapies such as docetaxel or pemetrexed...Innovative strategies are under investigation: antibody-drug conjugates (anti-TROP-2, anti-CEACAM-5), cancer vaccines (TEDOPI), external electric fields (TTFields), oncolytic viruses, and PROTACs. While some of these show promise in progression-free survival, global survival benefit remains modest. The identification of robust predictive biomarkers is essential for tailoring future therapies.
OSE-279 monotherapy was well tolerated with durable responses in patients with advanced solid tumours. The trial is continuing with OSE-279 combined with OSE2101, a therapeutic cancer vaccine in 1st line HLA-A2 positive PD-L1 ≥ 50% NSCLC. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION (NCT NUMBER: NCT05751798).
"OSE Immunotherapeutics SA...today announced that the Company has entered into a collaboration with GenDx (a Eurobio Scientific Company, a key player in the field of specialty in vitro diagnostics) to develop and validate a companion diagnostic (CDx) test to support the confirmatory pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of Tedopi cancer vaccine candidate in preparation in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) second line treatment....Under the Master Collaboration Agreement, GenDx will develop and validate a companion diagnostic (CDx) unique test for a predictive immunological biomarker to identify patients with HLA-A*02 genotype (1) who are biological responders to Tedopi epitopes."
