Vaccines and monoclonal antibodies in the prolonged treatment of non-small cell lung cancer: 20 years of follow-up (IVC-MG 2023) - "After analyzing more than 3,900 patients in a database integrated with all the clinical trials conducted in the period from 2002 to 2020 with the Cimavax EGF and Vaxira vaccines and the humanized monoclonal antibody nimotuzumab, it was found that around 20% of the patients  had a long survival, greater than 24 months, when they were treated with immunotherapies; but also that a group of patients who were controls in these studies were long survivors. Depending on the product analyzed, predictive parameters of a good response to these treatments were identified, leading to the creation of a therapeutic algorithm to select the appropriate therapy. These parameters are related to the inflammatory level such as the NLR, the PLR and the histological type of the disease."

Final results from a phase II trial of CIMAvax-EGF and nivolumab as second-line (2L) therapy after platinum-based chemotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). (ASCO 2023) - P1/2 | "Clinical Trial Registration Number: NCT02955290. NSCLC pts who were able to complete the PP combination of C-E plus N at the minimum had numerically better OS compared to historical study cohorts with N as 2L monotherapy. Among pts who completed PP treatment, pts with KRAS wildtype NSCLC had the longest mOS observed. C-E is currently being investigated in combination with pembrolizumab as maintenance therapy after completing 1L chemoimmunotherapy for NSCLC with PD-L1 < 50% and as 1L therapy in combination with pembrolizumab for EGFR/ALK wildtype NSCLC and PD-L1 ≥ 50%."

Phase 2 trial of epidermal growth factor (EGF) vaccine CIMAvax in combination with pembrolizumab in first line and maintenance setting in advanced non–small cell lung cancer patients. (ASCO 2023) - P1/2 | "A phase 1 trial combining CIMAvax-EGF with nivolumab, an anti-PD1 immune checkpoint inhibitor, showed that the combination is safe and appears to induce higher rate of good anti-EGF antibody response within the first 8 weeks of therapy compared to historical comparison group receiving CIMAvax-EGF alone. Exploratory objectives include characterizing tissue-based immune and EGFR signaling profile as well as serum EGF levels, anti-EGF antibody levels and other blood-based biomarkers in relation to clinical outcomes. Clinical trial information: NCT02955290."

Ongoing Phase II Trial of Anti-PD1 Therapy in Combination with CIMAvax-EGF in Patients with Advanced NSCLC or Squamous Cell Head and Neck Cancer (IASLC-WCLC 2019) - P1/2; " CIMAvax-EGF (2.4 mg IM every 2 weeks x 4 doses, then every 4 weeks thereafter) in combination with Nivolumab (240mg IV every 2 weeks) is being evaluated in this multi-arm phase II study (NCT02955290) as second-line therapy in patients with advanced NSCLC (cohort A), advanced/recurrent head and neck squamous cell cancer (cohort B) and is also being tested as first-line therapy in combination with pembrolizumab (200 mg IV every 4 weeks) in patients with advanced NSCLC with PD-L1 ≥ 50% (cohort C). To date, the combination of CIMAvax-EGF with anti-PD1 therapy has been safe and well tolerated. Enrollment to the phase II portion of this study is ongoing at Roswell Park and is in the process of being expanded to additional U.S. sites."

[VIRTUAL] Evidence for synergistic immune responses in the first-in-human (FIH) combination of B cell-activating immunotherapy (IO) with anti-PD1 immune checkpoint inhibitor nivolumab (N) as 2nd-line therapy in patients (pts) with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) (AACR-I 2020) - "To assess this, we conducted the FIH trial combining B cell-activating IO (CIMAvax-EGF (C)) with T cell-activating IO (PD-1 blockade with nivolumab (N)). This study provides evidence for synergistic effects of combining B and T cell activating IO in aNSCLC pts. C+N generated higher anti-EGF titers in more pts at an earlier time point vs. C alone, which is the first demonstration in pts of enhancement of Ab responses by immune checkpoint blockade."

Levels of serum EGF concentration as biomarker of response of CIMAvax-EFG vaccine: Survival evaluation of advanced NSCLC patients treated in primary health care scenario (ESMO 2022) - "Background Previous studies have shown that baseline concentrations of EGF in serum could be considered a biomarker of the efficacy of the therapeutic vaccine CIMAVax-EGF...Conclusions The results showed that patients with high baseline serum EGF concentrations and poor prognosis, achieve comparable survival to those with low baseline serum EGF concentrationsa and better prognosis of the disease in terms of survival. Patients who received at least 4 doses of treatment, achieved response to first-line onco-specific treatment, and had ECOG between 1 and 2, received the greatest benefit."
