Pfizer and Celldex Therapeutics (CLDX) Present Data on CDX-110 at ASCO

June 1, 2009 8:45 AM EDT

Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) and Celldex Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CLDX) announced the presentation of updated data from two clinical trials of CDX-110 in newly-diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) at ASCO.

CDX-110, an investigational immunotherapeutic vaccine that targets the tumor-specific molecule, epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII), was developed by Celldex Therapeutics and is now partnered with Pfizer.

John H. Sampson, MD, PhD, Associate Deputy Director of The Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke University Medical Center said, "Data from the 40 evaluable patients in ACTIVATE and ACT II continue to suggest that vaccination with CDX-110 may be able to improve time to tumor recurrence and overall survival when used in patients with newly-diagnosed GBM. These data also continue to suggest that tolerability and side effects associated with CDX-110 are minimal. These results are very encouraging and we look forward to the results from the ongoing multi-center ACT III Phase 2 study."
