A clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a new generation of immunotherapies to treat challenging and aggressive cancers, announced today that the Company will present new clinical trial data at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting, to be held April 17-22 in San Diego, California, and at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting, to be held April 18-22 in Chicago, Illinois. Both conferences will feature clinical data on DOC1021 (dubodencel), a first-in-class, patient-derived double-loaded dendritic cell investigational therapy, with AACR focusing on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and AAN on glioblastoma.
“Presenting data at both of these conferences underscores the breadth and potential impact of DOC1021 across some of the most challenging cancers,” said Jay Hartenbach, President and COO of Diakonos Oncology. “The AACR presentation provides updated data from our ongoing pancreatic cancer study, and the AAN presentation will mark the first report of results from our expanded access program in glioblastoma. These clinical data continue to validate DOC1021’s novel mechanism, which leverages a patient’s full complement of tumor antigens to drive robust immune responses against malignancy. We look forward to sharing these new results and advancing this first‑in‑class therapy to improve outcomes for patients with pancreatic cancer and glioblastoma, both of which are marked by poor prognosis and significant unmet need.”
