EAGAN, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Biothera Pharmaceuticals Inc. today will present data on its Phase 2 cancer immunotherapy Imprime PGG, the Company’s first-in-class, systemically administered beta glucan PAMP (Pathogen Associated Molecular Patterning molecule) at Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s Molecular Medicine Tri-Conference 2016, taking place at the Moscone Convention Center, San Francisco.
Jeremy Graff, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer and Senior Vice President, Research at Biothera will present results demonstrating the ability of Imprime PGG to act as an immunological “ignition switch,” driving a coordinated innate and adaptive immune response to enhance the anti-tumor effects of checkpoint inhibitors (PD-1, PD-L1 antibodies), anti-angiogenic, and tumor-targeting monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). He also will discuss a potential biomarker for Imprime PGG that may enhance patient selection in future clinical trials.
In 2016, the Company expects to initiate clinical trials of combination therapy with Imprime PGG in metastatic melanoma, solid tumors, and hematological malignancies.
