PDS Biotechnology Corp. (PDSB) – Roundtable on IL-12 Highlights PDS0301


Monday, April 24, 2023

PDS Biotech is a clinical-stage immunotherapy company developing a growing pipeline of molecularly targeted cancer and infectious disease immunotherapies based on the Company’s proprietary Versamune® and Infectimune™ T-cell activating technology platforms. Our Versamune®-based products have demonstrated the potential to overcome the limitations of current immunotherapy by inducing in vivo, large quantities of high-quality, highly potent polyfunctional tumor specific CD4+ helper and CD8+ killer T-cells. PDS Biotech has developed multiple therapies, based on combinations of Versamune® and disease-specific antigens, designed to train the immune system to better recognize diseased cells and effectively attack and destroy them. The Company’s pipeline products address various cancers including HPV16-associated cancers (anal, cervical, head and neck, penile, vaginal, vulvar) and breast, colon, lung, prostate and ovarian cancers.

KOL Discussion Of IL-12. PDL Biotechnology held a Roundtable Discussion on cancer therapy with IL-12 and its proprietary, tumor-seeking version, PDS0301. The panel was moderated by Dr. Lauren Wood, Chief Medical Officer, and featured two distinguished scientists from the National Cancer Institute. The presentations highlighted the distinctions between PDL0301 and recombinant IL-12, with clinical data from trials testing both drugs.

Comparisons Between IL-12 and PDS0301. The presentations pointed out the differences between IL-12 and PDS0301, the proprietary version developed by the NCI and licensed by PDS. One of the key points is that PDS0301 is an antibody linked to IL-12. The antibody domain targets and binds to cancer cell DNA that has been released from dead or dying cancer cells. This concentrates PDS0301 in the tumor, then the IL-12 portion stimulates an immune response. This differs from other trials that have used recombinant IL-12 to stimulate an immune response. In comparison, systemic rIL-12 delivery or targeting technologies have resulted in lack of efficacy, systemic side effects, or both.
