EMERYVILLE, Calif., April 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gritstone bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRTS), a clinical-stage biotechnology company working to develop the world’s most potent vaccines, today announced positive preliminary data from the ongoing, signal seeking Phase 2 portion of the Phase 2/3 study evaluating GRANITE, its personalized neoantigen cancer vaccine, in front-line metastatic microsatellite stable colorectal cancer (MSS-CRC). The randomized, controlled, open-label study is designed to quantify the clinical benefit of maintenance therapy with GRANITE (GRT-C901/GRT-R902) in combination with immune checkpoint blockade in addition to fluoropyrimidine/bevacizumab versus fluoropyrimidine/bevacizumab alone. Overall progression free survival (PFS) data show an early trend in benefit for GRANITE patients (HR=0.82, [95% CI, 0.34-1.67]; 62% censored) and extended PFS benefit in high-risk patients (HR=0.52 [95% CI, 0.15-1.38]; 44% censored), in whom progression occurs faster. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis over several months of treatment shows the expected relationship with disease progression and favors GRANITE, while short-term ctDNA response analysis (molecular response as defined per protocol) did not demonstrate a difference between study arms. Gritstone bio successfully manufactured GRANITE product candidate for every eligible patient (i.e., 100% vaccine manufacturing success rate).

Key Points: 
  • Gritstone bio successfully manufactured GRANITE product candidate for every eligible patient (i.e., 100% vaccine manufacturing success rate).
  • “Today's preliminary Phase 2 results are highly encouraging and represent the first randomized trial evidence, albeit early, that a personalized neoantigen-directed vaccine can potentially drive efficacy in a metastatic ‘cold’ tumor.
  • Fortunately, long-term analysis demonstrates the expected correlation of ctDNA with clinical benefit and favors GRANITE patients.
  • This analysis was performed on 44 patients who received study treatment (control and GRANITE arms) and have available baseline ctDNA data.

Annovis Announces Publication That Supports Understanding of Buntanetap’s Mechanism of Action in Humans

måndag, april 1, 2024

MALVERN, Pa., April 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Annovis Bio, Inc. (NYSE: ANVS), a clinical-stage drug platform company developing novel therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced the publication of new data from an earlier study supporting buntanetap as a translational inhibitor of amyloid precursor protein (APP) in patients with early Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).

Key Points: 
  • Buntanetap is an oral molecule that selectively binds to an iron-responsive element in the mRNA of APP and other neurotoxic proteins and inhibits their translation.
  • Through this mechanism, buntanetap was shown to decrease the production of amyloid beta (Aβ), a key hallmark in AD.
  • Here, SILK was used to measure the kinetics of APP in early AD patients and to quantify Aβ40 in CSF.
  • Notably, the analysis of adverse events demonstrated no dose-dependent effect of buntanetap compared to placebo, affirming the drug’s safety and tolerability.
