Theriva Biologics gets Spanish regulator approval to start VIRAGE2 Phase 2a trial of VCN-01 in pancreatic cancer
Theriva Biologics, Inc.
- AEMPS authorized VIRAGE2, a Phase 2a trial evaluating at least 3 doses of VCN-01 given 2 months apart with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel in first-line metastatic PDAC.
- VIRAGE2 builds on VIRAGE Phase 2b (112 patients) where 2 doses of VCN-01 3 months apart significantly improved overall survival, PFS, and duration of response vs. 1 dose or SoC alone.
- EMA and FDA recognized improved survival with 2 doses and suggested more frequent dosing could improve outcomes.
- Results will inform dosing regimen for a potential future pivotal Phase 3 trial.
