TG4050

"Transgene..., NEC Corporation...and BostonGene Corporation...announced the expansion of their collaboration for the randomized Phase I/II trial of TG4050, an individualized therapeutic vaccine for patients with head and neck cancers. BostonGene is partnering with NEC and Transgene to continue performing tumor molecular profiling and microenvironment analysis and provide high-throughput sequencing services. The partnership with BostonGene will enable fast turnaround of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data, and sophisticated analytics will enable comprehensive profiling of patient immune contexture."

In a similar setting, the netMHC 4.0 algorithm yielded a TP of 30% and only identified 39% of positive calls of our algorithm.We demonstrate that the prediction algorithm is accurate in identifying immunogenic cancer mutations even among a large set of candidates. Ongoing TG4050 clinical studies (NCT03839524 and NCT04183166) will allow further validation of the antitumor activity of the elicited immune response.
