Transgene has announced that its Phase II randomized study, which aimed to assess the efficacy of TG4001 combined with avelumab against avelumab alone in patients with recurrent or metastatic HPV16-positive cervical and anogenital tumors, did not achieve its primary endpoint. However, the company observed a positive efficacy trend in the cervical cancer subgroup favoring the TG4001 regimen, which warrants further validation, including analyses by PD-L1 status. The company is currently conducting an in-depth evaluation of the complete study findings to determine the optimal path forward for this program and will provide additional updates once this analysis is finalized.
