#AVCT announces opening of Phase 1 trial for second pipeline asset, FAP-Exd (AVA6103)
The first two centers to open for enrollment are the Virginia Cancer Specialists Research Institute in Fairfax, Virginia, and NEXT Oncology Specialists in Dallas, Texas.
The first patient is anticipated to enroll in the study before the end of March.
@coughlin582's words are important: "We expect AVA6103 to enable greater efficacy from the exatecan payload while limiting the severe toxicities that were observed in the initial development of this payload in the clinic."
Firstly, the point that cannot be emphasized enough, with regards to pre|CISION's key strengths:
The platform is so targeted that it simultaneously can massively boost efficacy AND massively reduce unwanted side effects.
It's not a matter of, "Right, we can take this powerful warhead and modify it with pre|CISION, and will then have a drug that is just as efficacious as the original, but without most of those horrible side effects."
Nor is it a case of, "We can take this powerful warhead and modify it with pre|CISION, and our new drug will have the same side effects as before but will be much more efficacious."
pre|CISION drugs will boast significantly greater efficacy than the originals, and yield far fewer and less severe side effects than the originals.
@avacta has recently informed the market that it has synthesized almost 500 pre|CISION molecules. In short, it can now modify practically any anti-cancer therapeutic on the market / in development, with its delivery platform.
Coupled with the fact that the platform can be used to treat almost 9 out of 10 cancer cases worldwide (courtesy of using FAP as an extracellular biomarker), one should begin to understand why we Avacta bulls believe pre|CISION could be the delivery system of choice for global oncology, in the decades ahead.
The second point to note from the CEO's statement today: exatecan as a standalone monotherapy has historically been used to treat near 1,000 patients in clinical trials (primarily by Daiichi). Avacta is hardly jumping into the unknown with AVA6103. Moreover, deep collaboration with Tempus AI will ensure that the most appropriate patients will be selected for P1a, which could result in a real surprise to the upside for that preliminary efficacy.
First patient to be dosed in next two weeks. Interest in this trial from all quarters is going to be off the scale.
Incredible work, Avacta, keep it up! 👏
And God bless those patients partaking in the trial. Prayers go with them.
