First Patient Dosed in a Phase 2 Trial with Transgene’s TG4010 + Nivolumab + Chemotherapy for the First-Line Treatment of Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Clinical Trial in Collaboration with Bristol-Myers Squibb
Trial Will Enroll Patients whose Tumors Express Low or Undetectable Levels of PD-L1
First results expected in H2 2018

Strasbourg, France, January 16, 2018, 5:45 p.m. CET - Transgene (Euronext Paris: TNG), a biotechnology company that designs and develops virus-based immunotherapies, announces the dosing of the first patient in the Phase 2 trial evaluating TG4010 in combination with Opdivo® (nivolumab) and chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with low or no expression of PD-L1 by the tumor cells.

The Phase 2 clinical trial is exploring the tolerability and efficacy of the combination regimen of Transgene’s TG4010, an investigational active immunotherapy against MUC1 tumor-associated antigen, with Bristol-Myers Squibb’s immune checkpoint inhibitor, Opdivo® (nivolumab), which acts by overcoming immune suppression, and standard platinum doublet chemotherapy.
