A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, multinational, phase II trial of L-BLP25 in patients with colorectal carcinoma following R0/R1 hepatic metastasectomy.

TPS3641^ Background: Approximately 15-20% of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer (crc) develop metastatic disease. Surgical resection remains the only potentially curative treatment. 5-year survival following R0-resection of liver metastases lies ~28 -39%. Recurrence occurs in ~70% of pts. Adjuvant chemotherapy has not significantly improved clinical outcomes. The primary objective of the LICC trial (L-BLP25 in Colorectal Cancer) is to analyze whether L-BLP25, an active cancer immunotherapy, extends recurrence-free survival (RFS) time over placebo in colorectal cancer pts following R0/R1 resection of hepatic metastases. L-BLP25 targets MUC1 glycoprotein, which is highly expressed in …
