PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF A MULTICENTRIC RANDOMIZED PHASE I/II TRIAL HPV.DCVAX OF AN IMMUNOTHERAPY ENGAGING DENDRITIC CELLS (DC), CD40.HVAC, IN PATIENTS WITH HPV16-POSITIVE OROPHARYNGEAL CARCINOMA (OPC) (IPVC 2025) - P1/2 | "In cohorts 1 (n=11) and 2 (n=11), patients were randomized (5:1) to receive subcutaneously, Hiltonol® (1mg) adjuvanted CD40.HVac, 1 and 3 mg respectively, or placebo, at W0, 4, and 24. CD40.HVac is an innovative way to deliver oncoproteins and to engage DC to improve immunogenicity. The safety and robust immunogenicity of CD40.HVac support further clinical development of this strategy in patients with advanced OPC."

Preliminary results of a multicentric randomized phase I/IIa trial of an immunotherapy targeting dendritic cells (DC), CD40HVac, in patients with HPV16-positive oropharyngeal carcinoma (OPC) (ESMO-IO 2024) - P1/2 | "Twelve pts were included per dose group (1 (completed), or 3 mg (ongoing) CD40HVac subcutaneously-adjuvanted with Hiltonol®1mg), and randomized 5:1 to receive vaccine or placebo at Week (W) 0, 4 and 24 starting 16 – 22 W after end of curative treatment. AIM assay confirmed the elicitation of HPV-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.Conclusions Adjuvanted CD40HVac immunotherapy is well tolerated in OPC HPV16-positive pts and induced, after two boosts at the lowest dose, specific and functional T-cell responses including CD8+ T cells exhibiting markers of cytotoxicity. W26 immunogenicity results will be presented."
