The incidence of HPV16-related cancers is rapidly increasing in the US and Europe and also increasing globally.* PDS0101 is currently being studied in the Company’s Phase 3 trial for PDS0101 + pembrolizumab in HPV16-positive recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer.
"The issuance of an additional patent for PDS0101 in Japan further strengthens our global IP portfolio and reinforces the robust intellectual property position supporting our growth. This marks an important step in protecting the value of our innovative immunotherapies as we advance our pipeline worldwide." said Frank Bedu-Addo, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of PDS Biotechnology.
