Transgene to Present New Clinical Data on Oncolytic Virus Pexa-Vec at ASCO 2018

Strasbourg, France, May 17, 2018, 7:30 a.m. CET - Transgene (Euronext Paris: TNG), a biotech company that designs and develops virus-based immunotherapies against cancers and infectious diseases, announces that new clinical data on the oncolytic virus Pexa-Vec will be presented at the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, taking place from 1 to 5 June in Chicago.

These results were obtained from a clinical (“neoadjuvant”) study that evaluated the biological effects of pre-operative intravenous (IV) administration of Pexa-Vec in patients with locally advanced or metastatic cancers, prior to planned surgical resection. University of Leeds (United Kingdom) is the sponsor of this trial that was supported by Transgene.
