Article in Asbestos.com on the NIPU trial

Asbestos.com this week published an article about the NIPU trial in which Ultimovacs’ universal cancer vaccine UV1 will be investigated in a randomized, multi-center phase II trial in advanced malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). The article includes an interview with our Chief Medical Officer, Jens Bjørheim. The NIPU trial investigates UV1 in combination with the checkpoint inhibitors nivolumab and ipilimumab as second-line treatment in mesothelioma. Oslo University Hospital (‘OUS’) is the sponsor of the study. Bristol-Myers Squibb (‘BMS’) and Ultimovacs have entered into agreements with OUS to support the preparations and execution of the trial.
