FOURTH QUARTER 2022 HIGHLIGHTS
ONCOS-102- The phase 1b melanoma study was selected for oral presentation at the prestigious Society for Immunotherapy in Cancer (SITC) annual meeting
- The phase 1b melanoma full study results were published in the high-impact oncology journal Clinical Cancer Research
- Key technical proof-of-concept data were established, and IP filed for the in-house circRNA design and circAde vector
- The TG01 trial in multiple myeloma at Oslo University Hospital received regulatory approvals to proceed
- A clinical trial collaboration was announced with Agenus and Kansas University to test TG01 in combination with PD1 checkpoint inhibitor balstilimab in pancreatic cancer
- Hubro Therapeutics acquired GM-CSF vaccine adjuvant for NOK 10m from Targovax ASA in an asset purchase agreement
- In February 2023, Targovax announced financing of up to NOK 300m over three years to advance its clinical cancer programs & pre-clinical circular RNA platform
Erik Digman Wiklund, CEO commented: "We are now well positioned to execute on all our R&D programs in 2023. During the year, we expect both ONCOS-102 and TG01 to progress rapidly in clinical studies at major cancer centers in the USA and Europe, teeing up important read-outs in 2024. For circRNA, we aim to establish in vivo proof-of-concept in several settings, and firmly establish Targovax as the leader in vector-delivered circRNA therapeutics - aiming to be first into the clinic with a circRNA product for cancer treatment already in 2025. To further strengthen our financial position, we are building on the momentum in the RNA field to actively pursue additional opportunities to help unlock the substantial potential value of our circRNA platform"
