ExpreS2ion Biotechnologies: Combination testing and site expansion approved ahead of schedule
ExpreS2ion today announced that Austrian authorities have approved the company's protocol amendment to test its breast cancer immunotherapy candidate, ES2B-C001, in combination with HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) such as trastuzumab deruxtecan, as well as to expand the number of trial sites.
The protocol amendment was filed in mid-May and was originally expected to be approved in Q3 2025. However, the approval came ahead of schedule, supporting the current timeline and possibly indicating an unmet medical need in this indication.
In this announcement, the company also confirmed that interim safety and tolerability data from the first cohort in the ongoing Phase I trial remain on track for release before the end of 2025.
This announcement follows the news from July 23, when the company revealed that the first patient had been dosed in the study.
