INDIVIDUALIZED NEOANTIGEN CANCER VACCINES |
TG4050
One patient, one cancer, one vaccine
With TG4050, Transgene is developing an individualized immunotherapy based on multiple advanced genetic engineering technologies and cutting-edge artificial intelligence capabilities, together with NEC.
Once injected into the patient, the vaccine induces a specific immune response, enabling individualized targeted destruction of tumor cells.
Two clinical trials are including patients in the USA, in the UK and in France.

SHARED ANTIGENS CANCER VACCINES |
TG4001
Target HPV-induced cancers (HPV-16, E6 & E7 + IL-2)
TG4001, an innovative therapy capable of combating papillomavirus-induced cancers. The concept behind TG4001 is to teach the immune system to recognise and destroy the cancer cells expressing HPV-16 antigens, specifically E6 and E7 antigens.
TG4001 triggers a specific immune response that supports the recognition and destruction of cancer cells carrying the HPV viral antigens. This approach enables the body to destroy the tumours.
Based on promising Phase Ib/II data, Transgene is conducting a randomized Phase II trial of TG4001 in combination with avelumab. This study is being conducted with the alliance of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, which is supplying avelumab.

TG6050
Induce an immune response against tumors resistant to available treatments
TG6050 is an oncolytic virus that has been engineered to express human IL-12 and an anti-CTLA4 antibody. TG6050 has been designed to be administered intravenously.
More information
BT-001
BT-001 is the first oncolytic virus from Invir.IO™ and is optimized to act as a Trojan horse.
Once injected into the tumor, BT-001 replicates in the cancer cells leading to their targeted destruction by oncolysis and generating local production of its two therapeutic weapons. The resulting anti-CTLA4 antibody produced in the tumor neutralizes the regulatory T-cells that inhibit the immune system, thereby activating the immune defenses within the tumor itself.
The destruction of cancer cells also triggers an immune cascade that will enable the body’s systemic immune system to fight the tumour and its metastases. BT-001, given its multiple modes of action, could be developed to combat many different types of cancers.
Phase I/IIa clinical trial is enrolling patients in France and in Belgium; it has been granted an IND by the US FDA.

Important information
Please note that the Transgene TG4050, TG4001, BT-001 and TG6050 drug candidates are currently only in the clinical testing phase, subject to regulations set by the competent authorities. Transgene is not legally authorized to decide on the eligibility of patients to be included in the clinical studies of which it is a sponsor. Only the investigating physicians responsible for the clinical study centers have the competence to decide whether a patient meets the inclusion and exclusion criteria with regard to the corresponding clinical study protocol. Please also note that Transgene cannot communicate or interact with patients on the progress or progress of the studies. You will find all publicly available information on clinicaltrials.gov.
What is a clinical trial?
Clinical trials are designed to evaluate new treatments, including their safety and efficacy. They are mandatory before approval and commercialization of new treatments.
Who can participate in a clinical trial?
Each clinical trial is conducted according to a protocol defined upstream and validated by the health authorities and various committees to protect the interest of patients. To be included in a clinical trial, the patient must meet a number of criteria that are specific to each trial and contained in the protocol.
Participate in a clinical study: what are the benefits and risks?
The risks and benefits of participating in a clinical trial are described in the research protocol and the informed consent document. The medical team also explains them to the patient, who is free to ask questions.
Participating in a clinical trial gives access to an innovative treatment before it is potentially widely available. Clinical trials also provide a specific frame of care and support, as well as an appropriate and rigorous follow-up during and after the completion of the treatment.
As with any treatment, drug candidates used in clinical trials can cause side effects. In some clinical trials, it is also possible to be part of the control group and not receive innovative treatment.
Can Transgene put me in contact with the investigators of the clinical trial?
When possible, Transgene provides the clinical trial number (NCT) of the www.clinicaltrials.gov database, that lists the sites where studies are active (refer to the “products” page on the website).
Transgene cannot respond to inquiries about participation in its clinical trials. Patients should discuss treatment options with their physician who, if relevant, may connect them with the doctors in charge of clinical trials.
What is Transgene early access and compassionate use policy to investigational medicines?
