Scott Norgberg, DO, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD, discusses the application of immunotherapy to treat recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) by selectively targeting human papillomavirus types 6 (HPV 6) and 11 (HPV 11), reducing the need for repeat surgical debulking. Utilising the gorilla adenoviral vector PRGN-2012 to deliver DNA encoding HPV 6 and HPV 11 antigens, the immune system’s T-cell response against these virus types is enhanced. In Phase I/II trials (NCT04724980), four doses of PRGN-2012 were administered over three months post-surgery to assess safety, the need for further surgeries, and to determine if additional repeat treatments are necessary through a confirmatory study. This interview took place during the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Meeting in Chicago, IL.
