Gemogenovatucel-T (Vigil) maintenance immunotherapy: 3-year survival benefit in homologous recombination proficient (HRP) ovarian cancer.

Previously, Vigil demonstrated clinical benefit to prolong relapse free and overall survival in the BRCA wild-type (BRCA-wt), homologous recombination proficient (HRP) patient population. Here we provide long term follow up of 3 years in the HRP patient population enrolled in the Phase 2b VITAL study. HRP patients treated with Vigil (n = 25) or placebo (n = 20) who were enrolled in the Phase 2b, double-blind, placebo-controlled (VITAL study, NCT02346747) were followed for safety, OS and RFS. OS and RFS from time of randomization (immediately prior to maintenance therapy) and from debulking tissue procurement time points were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier (KM) and restricted mean survival time (RMST) analysis. OS for Vigil treated patients at 3 years has not yet reached median OS time point (95% CI 41.6 months to not achieved) compared to 26.9 (95% CI 17.4 months to not achieved) in placebo treated patients (HR 0.417 p = 0.020). Three year RFS also showed benefit to Vigil (stratified HR 0.405, p = 0.011) and no long term toxicity to Vigil was observed. Three year OS for Vigil of 70% vs. 40% for placebo from time of randomization was observed (p = 0.019). RMST analysis was also significant for OS (45.7 vs. 32.8 months, p = 0.008) and RFS (p = 0.025). In conclusion, results suggest durable activity of Vigil on RFS and OS and support further evaluation of Vigil in HRP ovarian cancer.
