– Precigen to host webcast event today at 6:00 PM CT / 7:00 PM ET – GERMANTOWN, Md., June 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Precigen, Inc. (Nasdaq: PGEN), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of innovative gene and cell therapies to improve the lives of patients, today released positive Phase 1/2 pivotal study results for the investigational PRGN-2012 off-the-shelf (OTS) AdenoVerse "We are thrilled with the results of the Phase 1/2 pivotal study showing more than half of patients were surgery free–Complete Response–and 86% of patients had a significant reduction in the need for surgeries after PRGN-2012 treatment. Based on the efficacy, safety, and ease of administration, we believe PRGN-2012 is a game-changer for RRP patients and has the potential to be the preferred treatment-of-choice for RRP," said Helen Sabzevari, PhD, President and CEO of Precigen. "We look forward to sharing these results with the FDA as part of a rolling Biologics License Application submission under an accelerated approval pathway. We have ramped up our commercial readiness efforts in anticipation of a potential launch in 2025 and are excited by the potential to bring a long overdue new treatment option to the RRP community." Pivotal Study Design and Endpoints
The Phase 1/2 clinical study (clinical trial identifier: NCT04724980) evaluated safety and efficacy of PRGN-2012. The study design included an initial 3+3 dose escalation cohort to identify the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). Adult RRP patients who had three or more surgeries in the prior 12 months were eligible for the study. The Phase 1/2 study enrolled a total of 38 patients. Of these, 3 patients received four administrations of PRGN-2012 at 1x 1011 particle units (PU)/dose and 35 patients received four administrations of PRGN-2012 at RP2D (5 x 1011 PU/dose) over a 12 week treatment period via subcutaneous injection. Primary endpoints included safety and Complete Response rate defined as the percentage of patients who require no RRP surgeries in the 12-month period after PRGN-2012 treatment completion. Key secondary endpoints included HPV-specific immune responses, extent of papilloma growth as measured by Derkay scoring, and quality of life measurement as measured by Vocal Handicap Index-10 (VHI-10). Baseline patient characteristics of the 35 adult patients included a median age of 49 years (range: 20-88); 20 of the patients were male and 15 were female. Patients had a median of 4 surgeries (range: 3-10) in the 12 months before PRGN-2012 treatment initiation. Average years since RRP diagnosis was 20 (range: 1-65) with 12 and 23 patients with juvenile and adult onset RRP, respectively. Primary efficacy endpoint analysis demonstrated that 51% (18 out of 35) (95% CI: 34-69) patients achieved Complete Response, defined as no need for RRP surgeries in the 12-month period following completion of PRGN-2012 treatment. The Complete Response rate was 50% (6 out of 12) and 52% (12 out of 23) in the Phase 1 and Phase 2 portions of the study, respectively (TABLE 1). Complete Responses were durable. Median durability of response has not yet been reached with median follow up of 20 months as of the data cutoff date of May 20, 2024. PRGN-2012 treatment significantly (p . PRGN-2012 treatment was well-tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicities and no treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) greater than Grade 2 (TABLE 2). All patients received four administrations of PRGN-2012 at the intended dose levels. TRAEs were mostly mild with no treatment-related serious adverse events reported. The most common TRAE was injection site reaction. Other common TRAEs occurring in more than one subject were fatigue, chills, and fever. There was no meaningful anti-drug antibody response with repeat administrations of PRGN-2012.
