Professor Tak's presentation, entitled “Thermo-Sensitive Drug Assisted Ablation,” highlighted data from Celsion's latest HEAT Study post-hoc analysis, which suggests an overall survival benefit of over two years in the large subgroup of patients treated with ThermoDox® plus optimized RFA (RFA ≥ 45 minutes) as well as findings from preclinical studies demonstrating a direct correlation between the duration of RFA heating, or dwell time, and the concentration of doxorubicin localized to the liver.
“There is clear evidence that the duration of the RFA regimen is critical when treating patients with ThermoDox, and the totality of the data presented to date demonstrate that ThermoDox plus optimized RFA has a strong potential to serve as a curative therapy for patients with liver cancer,“ said Professor Tak, lead investigator in South Korea for the Company's HEAT and OPTIMA studies. “The OPTIMA trial is designed to validate this approach in an indication where there exists a strong unmet need for effective treatment options.”
The Phase III OPTIMA study is a global pivotal, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating ThermoDox® in combination with optimized RFA, which will be standardized to a minimum of 45 minutes across all investigators and clinical sites for treating lesions three to seven centimeters, versus standardized RFA alone.
"Our OPTIMA Study investigators continue to recognize the value of findings from the HEAT study, and their continued interest reinforces substantial and mounting support for and the de-risking of our ongoing global Phase III OPTIMA Study," said Michael H. Tardugno, Celsion's chairman, president and chief executive officer. “The recent independent analysis conducted by the National Institutes of Health provides further confirmatory support indicating that the use of RFA for more than 45 minutes in patients treated with ThermoDox can have a correlative impact on reductions in tumor size and overall survival in patients with primary liver cancer.”
Professor Tak’s presentation will be available on Celsion’s website under “News & Events – Scientific Presentations.”
Celsion notes that NIH’s analysis will be discussed in detail during an oral session on Monday, November 28, 2016 at 1:50 pm CT during the 102nd Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) to be held on November 26 – December 2, 2016 in Chicago, IL.
About Celsion’s Phase III OPTIMA Study
Celsion's Phase III OPTIMA Study is a global pivotal, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The study is expected to enroll up to 550 patients in over 75 clinical sites in the North America, Europe, China and Asia Pacific, and will evaluate ThermoDox® in combination with optimized RFA, which will be standardized to a minimum of 45 minutes across all investigators and clinical sites for treating lesions three to seven centimeters, versus standardized RFA alone. The primary endpoint for the trial is overall survival, which is supported by post-hoc analysis of data from the Company's 701 patient HEAT Study, where optimized RFA has demonstrated the potential to significantly improve survival when combined with ThermoDox®. The statistical plan for the OPTIMA Study calls for two interim efficacy analyses by an independent Data Monitoring Committee (iDMC).
