ImmunoCellular inks deal with CBTC for ICT-107 phase 3 registrational trial in glioblastoma

Established in 1998, and including a national investigator network of over 100 brain tumor specialists and researchers, the CBTC partners with industry to evaluate and execute clinical trials of promising new agents in a timely and cost-effective manner.

The CBTC’s major goals are furthering brain tumor research and development and supporting patients and their families who are affected by glioblastoma.

ImmunoCellular CEO Andrew Gengos said: "Partnering with the highly respected CBTC is a critical component of our clinical trial infrastructure, and further strengthens the multi-national clinical trial network for our ICT-107 phase 3 trial. With complementary collaborations in place with cooperative groups in the US and, Europe, the CBTC collaboration can enable us to execute this international clinical program in a high quality and efficient manner.

"As the lead asset in our cancer immunotherapy pipeline, we believe that ICT-107 represents a valuable opportunity for ImmunoCellular. As the phase 3 program progresses, we also intend to continue to build our cancer immunotherapy platform, including our Stem-to-T-cell program, with the goal of expanding our anti-cancer technological and therapeutic approaches."

The ICT-107 phase 3 registrational trial is open for enrollment in the US with additional sites anticipated to open in Canada and Europe in the coming weeks and months.
