RE:RE:Immunity Bio application accepted by FDA

RE:RE:Immunity Bio application accepted by FDA Thank's Eoganacht, good compilation easy to understand.

At the bottom of your post you included a link, I found this in the link, it does complement your post.

Page 3-4
Under methods
-Patients
Exclusion criteria(BCG-Resistant patients that will not be permitted to receive N-803 +BCG).

Patients that have a life expectancy of less than 2 year.
Patients that have inadequate organ function.
Patients that have clinical signs of severe cardiac dysfunction.
Patients that have had any other cancer within the last 5 years.

The above seem to indicate that a lot of older patients will not be eligible to receive N-803 + BCG.
In short N-803+BCG is not for end of the line patients.

TLT-Ruvidar has no restrictions whatsoever(it can treat end of the line patients), that is a major plus for TLT-Ruvidar.








Eoganacht wrote: How do the results of our current trial compare? 

ImmunityBio's Trial has been divided into 3 cohorts - Cohorts A, B and C.

Only the results of Cohort A can be compared to our trial, as Cohort A represents the N-803/BCG combo treatment of CIS with or without Ta/T1 papillary disease.

Cohort B represents the N-803/BCG combo treatment of just Ta/T1 papillary disease.

Cohort C represents N-803 monotherapy for CIS with or without Ta/T1 papillary disease.

Cohort A - N-803/BCG combo treatment for CIS with or without Ta/T1 papillary disease
37 of 82 patients, or 45% CR at 12 months
27 of 82 patients, or 32% CR at 18 months
 
Cohort B - N-803/BCG combo treatment for high grade Ta/T1 papillary disease
55% DFS (Disease free survival) at 12 months
 
Cohort C - N-803 mono treatment for CIS with or without Ta/T1 papillary disease 
2 of 10 patients, or 20% CR at 3 months
1 OF 10 patients, or 10% CR at 6 months
Discontinued for futility at 6 months

Basically N-803 by itself for CIS with or without Ta/T1 papillary disease doesn't work very well.

Cohort A combo treatment achieved 45% CR at 12 months - Ruvidar PDT achieved 36%
Cohort A combo treatment achieved 32% CR at 18 months - Ruvidar PDT achieved 33% at 15 months

It should be noted how quickly the CR rate of N-803 + BCG dropped between 12 and 18 months - a drop of 11% - Ruvidar PDT patients are much more likely to maintain their CR over time.

Also, Ruvidar PDT is a standalone treatment and N-803 is dependent on BCG (which is in short supply) N-803 as a monotherapy doesn't work well at all. If Ruvidar PDT was part of a combo therapy there's no telling how good the results might be. Ruvidar PDT is extremely safe and only requires 2 treatments. N803/BCG has the same safety issues as BCG and requires 6 treatments.

Finally, the efficacy results of our Ruvidar PDT trial are constantly improving. It is very likely that our montherapy durable response will be considerably higher than their combo-therapy durable response.
