TME Pharma N.V. announces that the median Overall Survival (mOS) and Overall Response Rate (ORR) for patients receiving NOX-A12 with the VEGF inhibitor bevacizumab and radiotherapy has now exceeded what TME Pharma believes to be all relevant competitor therapy trials in newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients resistant to standard chemotherapy. After 17 months on study (median), 67% of GLORIA expansion arm patients (4 of 6) are still alive. The median Overall Survival is expected to improve further as the remaining patients continue to receive treatment or follow-up care.

The milestone in survival at 17 months is a crucial landmark since it means the NOX-A12-based therapy has surpassed the survival rates achieved in what TME Pharma believes to be all the relevant competitor studies conducted in the US or EU involving newly diagnosed, chemotherapy-resistant (MGMT unmethylated) glioblastoma patients. In addition, the NOX-A12-based therapy achieved this result despite having a more difficult population to treat since only patients with residual detectable tumor after surgery were included the NOX-A12 trial, while competing trials included patients with complete removal of detectable tumor.
