BioNTech SE, in collaboration with Genentech, Inc., is sponsoring a Phase II clinical study titled A Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Adjuvant Autogene Cevumeran Plus Atezolizumab and mFOLFIRINOX Versus mFOLFIRINOX Alone in Participants With Resected PDAC. The study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of combining autogene cevumeran and atezolizumab with mFOLFIRINOX, compared to mFOLFIRINOX alone, in patients with resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) who have not previously received systemic anti-cancer treatment and show no evidence of disease post-surgery.
The interventions being tested include autogene cevumeran, atezolizumab, and mFOLFIRINOX. Autogene cevumeran and atezolizumab are administered intravenously, with the former being a novel treatment and the latter a known immunotherapy drug. mFOLFIRINOX is a chemotherapy regimen consisting of oxaliplatin, leucovorin, irinotecan, and 5-FU.
This interventional study employs a randomized, parallel assignment model without masking, focusing on treatment as its primary purpose. Participants are allocated to either the experimental group receiving the combination therapy or the active comparator group receiving only mFOLFIRINOX.
The study began on October 18, 2023, with recruitment currently ongoing. The primary completion and estimated study completion dates are yet to be disclosed, but the last update was submitted on August 18, 2025. These dates are crucial for tracking the study’s progress and anticipating results.
The outcome of this study could significantly influence BioNTech’s stock performance and investor sentiment, especially if the combination therapy proves more effective than the standard treatment. This could position BioNTech favorably within the competitive oncology market, potentially affecting competitors focused on PDAC treatments.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
