UbiVac Announces Clinical Trial Collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb on Combination Immunotherapy for Advanced Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Phase Ib study to combine UbiVac’s DRibble® Platform Vaccine, DPV-001 with anti-OX40 (BMS-986178) and Opdivo (nivolumab) to test hypothesis that this combination will augment anticancer immunity in advanced triple negative breast cancer
 

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UbiVac, Inc. (www.ubivac.com) today announced it has entered into a clinical trial collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb Company(NYSE:BMY) to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of UbiVac’s investigational product, DPV-001™, a first-in-class cancer vaccine that exploits autophagy, in combination with Bristol Myers Squibb’s anti-OX40 (BMS-986178) combined with sequenced administration of the programmed death-1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint inhibitor, Opdivo (nivolumab). The Phase 1b multicenter trial will test the hypothesis that combination immunotherapy with the DPV-001 cancer vaccine and anti-OX40 will augment anticancer immunity in patients with advanced triple negative breast cancer. . . .

This is the first clinical trial to combine a cancer vaccine (DPV-001), that educates the immune system to destroy cancer cells, with a T cell agonist, Bristol Myers Squibb’s anti-OX40 (BMS-986178), that amplifies immune system activity. Patients also will receive anti-programmed death 1 immune checkpoint therapy, Bristol Myers Squibb’s Opdivo, which takes the brakes off the immune system.

I wish they would make the language in these easier for us lay people to read and understand. We are the ones being asked to participate in trials.

If you are interested in clinical trials, many cancer centers will have a clinical trial coordinator.  That person could possibly answer your questions about the clinical trials.  In addition, if you go out to the clinical trial website, there is a study coordinator/contact person listed.   You could contact that person directly with questions about that specific clinical trial.  I agree these studies are written in scientific language and sometimes difficult to understand, but a good doctor should be able to decipher the information for you.
