NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / September 23, 2015 / Vascular Biogenics Ltd., (VBLT) a late-stage clinical biotechnology company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of first-in-class treatments for cancer, recently announced that complete Phase 2 data on VB-111 in combination with Bevacizumab (Avastin) will be presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology's (ESMO) European Cancer Congress 2015, being held September 25th-29th in Vienna, Austria.
VB-111 is a novel, intravenously-administered, next generation targeted anti-angiogenic agent that utilizes VBL's proprietary Vascular Targeting System (VTS) to target endothelial cells in the tumor vasculature for cancer therapy. VB-111 contains a non-replicating adenovirus, a proprietary modified murine pre-proendothelin promoter (PPE-1-3x) and a Fas-Chimera transgene to angiogenic tumor blood vessels, leading to their apoptosis. VB-111 is the first agent based on transcriptional targeting of tumor endothelium to be assessed in a clinical trial. VB-111 completed a Phase 1/2 "all-comers" clinical trial, which demonstrated multiple cases of objective tumor response and disease control and excellent safety and tolerability. VB-111 has Fast Track Designation for recurrent glioblastoma in the US and organ drug status for glioblastoma in both the US and EU. Beyond GBM, VBL is also conducting early phase II studies in thyroid and ovarian cancer.
A company with a drug that appears to work in three separate types of cancers is generally valued much higher than Vascular Biogenics. Either this company has simply gone under the radar or there are underlying issues keeping the market cap well below analyst expectations.
