DALLAS, Nov. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gradalis, Inc., a leader in the development of personalized anti-cancer cellular therapies for patients with solid tumors, announced today that it has been awarded a $9.9 million Product Development Research grant from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT). The funds will be used to support the company's Phase 2 clinical study of Vigil® in platinum-sensitive patients who have recurrent ovarian cancer with a homologous recombination proficient (HRP) molecular profile. These patients face an acutely high unmet medical need due to the removal of PARP inhibitor therapies in 2022. The study is designed as a pivotal trial to confirm the positive survival results seen in ovarian cancer patients with the HRP profile tumors in Gradalis’ earlier VITAL study in frontline maintenance therapy. The company intends to pursue accelerated approval based on positive results.
