MT Newswires Live11-14 11:09

Biotechnology company Immutep (ASX:IMM) said its EFTISARC-NEO, a second phase trial of eftilagimod alpha in combination with radiotherapy and KEYTRUDA for patients with soft tissue sarcoma, showed positive data, according to a Thursday filing with the Australian bourse.

The triple combination therapy, based on a preliminary analysis of 21 patients, showed "significant" efficacy in the neoadjuvant setting for resectable soft tissue sarcoma, the filing said.

The study also found an over three-fold increase in tumor hyalinization, a crucial predictor of overall survival, compared with historical results from radiotherapy alone.

The EFTISARC-NEO study, led by the Maria Skłodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology, is expected to enroll 40 patients in the first quarter of 2025, according to the filing.

The new data from the study was presented at the Connective Tissue Oncology Society annual meeting, the filing added.

Immutep shares rose nearly 5% in afternoon trade.
