About ProstAtak™
 

ProstAtak uses an innovative technique known as Gene Mediated Cytotoxic Immunotherapy (GMCI™) to kill tumor cells and stimulate a cancer vaccine effect. The idea is to "jump-start" the body's immune system so it can better detect and destroy residual cancer cells that pose a risk of the cancer returning.  ProstAtak is designed to work together with standard radiation therapy and has resulted in lower than expected recurrence rates in earlier clinical trials. In a phase 2 study, the rate of recurrence was reduced from an expected 30% to 10%.  At present, ProstAtak is the only vaccine product in development for preventing recurrence in localized prostate cancers. 
 
ProstAtak is currently in a Phase 3 clinical trial under an FDA approved special protocol assessment (Fast-track), and is sponsored by Advantagene, Inc., a Boston, Massachusetts area biopharmaceutical company.
 
Join the webcast to learn more about ProstAtak and the phase 3 clinical trial.
