The SCOPE Study, officially titled ‘A Phase 2, Multicentre, Open-Label, Umbrella Study of SCIB1 and iSCIB1+ in Patients With Advanced Unresectable Melanoma Receiving Nivolumab With Ipilimumab or SCIB1 With Pembrolizumab,’ aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two experimental cancer vaccines, SCIB1 and iSCIB1+, in combination with standard melanoma treatments. This study is significant as it explores potential enhancements in treatment responses and duration for patients with advanced melanoma.
The interventions being tested are SCIB1 and iSCIB1+ DNA vaccines, which are administered via needle-free injection. These vaccines are designed to be used alongside standard treatments, namely nivolumab with ipilimumab or pembrolizumab, to potentially improve patient outcomes.
The study is designed as an open-label, uncontrolled, single-group intervention, focusing on treatment as its primary purpose. There is no masking involved, allowing researchers to directly observe the effects of the interventions.
The study began on August 16, 2019, with its primary completion and estimated overall completion set for April 1, 2025. These dates are crucial for tracking the study’s progress and anticipating potential results that could influence future treatment protocols.
For investors, the ongoing recruitment and progress of this study could impact Scancell Holdings’ stock performance positively, as successful results may enhance the company’s market position in the competitive oncology sector. The study’s outcomes could also influence investor sentiment, given the potential for these vaccines to improve treatment efficacy in melanoma.
The study is currently ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
