Matt Biegler's questions to Marker Therapeutics (MRKR) leadership • Q1 2020
Question
Matt Biegler from Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. inquired about the patient enrollment sequence for the Phase 2 AML trial, specifically asking if the first three patients using the legacy reagent must be treated before enrolling patients with the new MT-401 reagent. He also asked for details on the upcoming pancreatic cancer trial update at ASCO.
Answer
Chief Medical Officer Dr. Mythili Koneru clarified that patients from both reagent groups can be enrolled simultaneously, provided there is a two-week interval between each patient's first treatment. She confirmed that the ability to enroll patients with the new reagent depends on the manufacturer providing the certificate of analysis, not on the completion of the first cohort. President and CEO Peter Hoang noted that more details on the pancreatic cancer trial would be available after the ASCO abstracts are released.
