TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — VBL Therapeutics (Nasdaq: VBLT) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, and provided a corporate update.
“We have made excellent progress advancing our lead candidate VB-111 during 2020,” said Dror Harats, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of VBL Therapeutics. “The first interim analysis in our OVAL Phase 3 pivotal study in ovarian cancer demonstrated the potential benefit of VB-111 over standard-of-care in a randomized-controlled study, and the recent positive second interim analysis indicates that the trial continues to be on the right track. OVAL has shown strong recruitment despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, when the Company blindly reviews response rate data in all trial participants, that is in the treatment and control groups combined, we are very encouraged by the high response rate of over 50% of the total evaluable patients, which has been maintained. The investigator sponsored studies of VB-111 in GBM and colorectal cancer are headed for initiation. Our MOSPD2 programs are gaining momentum, with pre-IND application for our lead candidate VB-601 for inflammation, and recent scientific presentations in NASH and colitis at DDW, in rheumatoid arthritis at EULAR 2020 and in oncology at the AACR meeting.”Second Quarter and Recent Key Corporate Highlights:VB-111MOSPD2
