Glioblastoma first-line treatment
A phase 2 clinical trial is being conducted with ITI-1000 (pp65-LAMP DC) therapy for the first-line treatment of glioblastoma.
The UNITE platform technology is a powerful next-generation vaccine platform that targets specific antigens to the lysosomes of dendritic cells (DC), enhancing antigen presentation capabilities and activating cytotoxic T cells. This enhanced immune function is a highly scalable platform technology that attacks specific antigens.
Glioblastoma is a primary tumor that arises from the brain or spinal cord tissue, or from the membranes surrounding them. It originates from neuroglial cells, which are normally abundant in brain tissue. Glioblastoma is a grade 4 astrocytoma and the most malignant type among astrocytomas. Histologically, it is characterized as an anaplastic astrocytoma with added necrotic areas. This tumor is the most common primary brain tumor, accounting for half of all gliomas and 15% of pediatric gliomas. It is rare for glioblastoma to occur in the cerebellum. According to the WHO classification revised in 2000, glioblastoma includes variants such as giant cell glioblastoma and gliosarcoma. * Source: National Cancer Information Center
