Prima Biomed Ltd. (PBMD) declared that the final CVac data from the Phase II CAN-003 ovarian cancer clinical trial has shown a trend for a clinically meaningful improvement in Overall Survival (“OS”) over standard of care (“SOC”) in second remission patients.

In the group of second remission patients (n=20), the median for standard of care (“SOC”) patients was 25.53 months, which is compriseent with current literature. By comparison, for patients treated with CVac a median has still not yet been reached after 42 months with study completion and closure. This suggests a striking improvement with a hazard ratio1 = 0.17 (95%CI: 0.02, 1.44; p=0.07).
