VIABLE Study to Proceed in US

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notified Sotio in April 2014 that its complete response to the July 2013 clinical hold on the VIABLE Study has been reviewed and that the FDA has determined that it is safe to proceed under the Investigational New Drug (IND) application.” VIABLE is a global Phase III clinical trial for prostate cancer immunotherapy treatment with DCVAC/PCa. FDA’s removal of the clinical hold represents a major achievement for SOTIO’s global and US development efforts. SOTIO’s aim is to enroll approximately 1,170 prostate cancer patients in the VIABLE study, including patients from Europe, Russia and the United States. Enrollment of the first European patient in VIABLE study is expected during first half of 2014.
