Jackson Harvey's questions to Marker Therapeutics (MRKR) leadership • Q1 2020
Question
Jackson Harvey, on behalf of Christopher Marai from Nomura, asked if the ongoing Baylor-sponsored trials, particularly the ADSPAM trial's new high-dose arm, have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. He also questioned what specific data from the pancreatic cancer trial would be necessary for Marker to pursue it as a company-sponsored study.
Answer
Chief Medical Officer Dr. Mythili Koneru stated that while Baylor studies are generally proceeding, the treatment for one patient in the highest dose level of the Phase 1 AML study was delayed due to COVID-19. President and CEO Peter Hoang explained that for the pancreatic cancer program, the company is looking for further evidence of efficacy, including progression-free survival and overall survival data, to justify a company-sponsored trial.
