Solfrid Thunold has published unique data on the predictive value of FDG-PET parameters for patients with pleural mesothelioma included in the NIPU-trial. DOI:10.1007/s00259-024-06853-0
01.06.2024: The first survival-data from the NIPU-trial are published. The trial did not meet its primary end-point but predefined analyses of objective response rates were in favour of adding the UV1 vaccine. DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.

The NIPU trial was presented at the ESMO congress. While the primary end-point of progression-free survival (PFS) evaluated by blinded independent review (BICR), supportive analyses revealed significant difference in favor of patients treated with the UV1 vaccine for objective response rate by BICR (16% compared to 31% in UV1-treated patients, OR 2.4) and for overall survival (OS) the (median OS 5.4 m compared to 11.1 months for UV1-treated patients, HR 0.73).
16.06.2023:
After reaching 69 events, the primary endpoint of the study has been published. The primary endpoint was statistically significant difference in progression free survival between the two treatment arms evaluated by blinded independent radiological review. The primary endpoint was not met. However, there was a significant difference between the treatment arms evaluated by local radiologists. There was also some signals in the data that suggest there may be a difference in overall survival, but the data is not mature and more time is needed for a final conclusion.
