CEA DNA prime (cohort I)EXPERIMENTAL5 patients, tetwtCEA DNA intradermal delivery with electroporation, not previously vaccinated with CEA66 DNA. Electrical pulses applied to vaccination sites in skin using Derma Vax immediately after DNA administration. One dose of Cyclophosphamide (300 mg/m2) will be given i.v. three days before each vaccination with tetwtCEA DNA.
CEA DNA boost (cohort II)EXPERIMENTAL10 patients, tetwtCEA DNA intradermal delivery with electroporation, previously vaccinated with CEA66 DNA.Electrical pulses applied to vaccination sites in skin using Derma Vax immediately after DNA administration.One dose of Cyclophosphamide (300 mg/m2) will be given i.v. three days before each vaccination with tetwtCEA DNA.
CEA DNA prime + GM-CSF (cohort III)EXPERIMENTAL5 patients, tetwtCEA DNA intradermal delivery with electroporation + GM-CSF, not previously vaccinated with CEA66 DNA.Electrical pulses applied to vaccination sites in skin using Derma Vax immediately after DNA administration.One dose of Cyclophosphamide (300 mg/m2) will be given i.v. three days before each vaccination with tetwtCEA DNA.

Frequently asked questions about GM-CSF

What is GM-CSF used for in colorectal cancer?

GM-CSF is a monoclonal antibody being studied for the treatment of colorectal cancer. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development as an investigational therapy. The drug is being evaluated in a clinical trial that has been completed, with the goal of assessing its safety in patients with colorectal cancer.

Who is developing GM-CSF?

GM-CSF is being developed by Pulse Biosciences, Inc, a company traded on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol PLSE. The company is conducting clinical research on this monoclonal antibody for the treatment of colorectal cancer, with the drug currently in Phase 1 development.

What phase is GM-CSF in?

GM-CSF is in Phase 1 clinical development for the treatment of colorectal cancer. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. The Phase 1 trial for GM-CSF has been completed, and the drug remains in early-stage clinical development.

What clinical trials is GM-CSF in?

GM-CSF has been studied in one clinical trial with the identifier NCT01064375. This trial was a Phase 1 study titled 'Safety Study of DNA Vaccine Delivered by Intradermal Electroporation to Treat Colorectal Cancer.' The study enrolled 16 participants with colorectal cancer and was conducted in Sweden. The trial has been completed.

Is GM-CSF a monoclonal antibody?

Yes, GM-CSF is a monoclonal antibody. It is being developed as a therapeutic for colorectal cancer. As a monoclonal antibody, it is designed to target specific proteins involved in disease processes. The drug is currently in Phase 1 clinical development and is being studied for its safety in patients with colorectal cancer.
