"Safety data from the first two treated patients confirm that Neogap’s immunotherapy is well tolerated and further strengthen our confidence in its potential as a valuable treatment option for patients with difficult-to-treat cancer. The trial is progressing as planned, and we continue to gather data to assess the safety profile and analyse clinical outcomes and biomarkers as part of the exploratory evaluation," says Samuel Svensson, CEO of Neogap Therapeutics.
The ongoing phase I/II trial is a first-in-human study designed to assess the safety and tolerability of Neogap’s personalised immunotherapy, pTTL (personalised Tumour Trained Lymphocytes), in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Several patients have already been enrolled, with the first having completed treatment. Recruitment and treatment of additional patients continue. In total, 12–16 patients are planned to receive treatment. The study is being conducted at several hospitals in Sweden, including Karolinska University Hospital, Västmanland Hospital, and Danderyd Hospital.
