Celldex receives Orphan Drug Designation for Rindopepimut

Celldex Therapeutics has received orphan drug designation for rindopepimut, from the European Medicines Agency (EMA), used to treat Glioblastoma (GB).

Rindopepimut is an immunotherapy that targets the tumor-specific oncogene, EGFRvIII.

Celldex finalized the clinical protocol for the Phase 3 randomized, double-blind study of rindopepimut in GB, after consulting with both US and EU authorities.

The study, named ACT IV will enroll around 374 patients with newly-diagnosed, fully resected, EGFRvIII expressing GB.

The primary endpoint will be overall survival.
