About IO102-IO103
IO102-IO103 is an investigational immune-modulating cancer vaccine designed to target the immunosuppressive mechanisms mediated by the proteins indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1). The company is currently conducting a pivotal Phase 3 trial (IOB-013/KN-D18; NCT05155254) evaluating IO102-IO103 in combination with pembrolizumab in first-line advanced melanoma patients, a Phase 2 basket trial (IOB-022/KN-D38; NCT05077709) evaluating IO102-IO103 in combination with pembrolizumab in first-line advanced non-small cell lung cancer and head and neck cancer, and a Phase 2 basket trial (IOB-032/PN-E40; NCT05280314) evaluating IO102-IO103 plus pembrolizumab as a perioperative treatment in solid tumors including Melanoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck (SCCHN). The clinical trial is sponsored by IO Biotech and conducted in collaboration with Merck. IO Biotech maintains global commercial rights to IO102-IO103.
About IOB-032/PN-E40 Phase 2 Basket Trial in Solid Tumors
IOB-032/PN-E40, (NCT05280314) is a multi-center, multi-arm basket trial evaluating anti-tumor activity, safety, and immune infiltration of IO102-IO103 in combination with pembrolizumab as neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment. This proof-of-concept trial will be focused initially on two indications and will include patients with resectable tumors in Melanoma and SCCHN.
