ArmTypeDescription
Galinpepimut-S + Montanide + GM-CSFEXPERIMENTALGalinpepimut-S injections will be administered as follows, until disease relapse: 1. First 6 galinpepimut-S injections: every 2 weeks (Weeks 0 - 10) followed by a 4-week period of no treatment. The first series of 6 injections of galinpepimut-S define the initial immunization induction phase. 2. Injections 7 to 12: every 4 weeks (Weeks 14 - 34) followed by a 6-week period of no treatment. The second series of injections of galinpepimut-S define the early immune booster phase. 3. Injections 13 to 15: every 6 weeks (Weeks 40 - 52). The third series of injections of galinpepimut-S define the late immune booster phase. 4. Injections 16-20: every 2 months (in Year 2). 5. Injection 21 and thereafter: every 3 months (in Year 3). Y2 and Y3 define the maintenance phase. Note: Galinpepimut-S is admixed with Montanide adjuvant before administered as a subcutaneous injection. GM-CSF is administered two days before and on the same day as the galinpepimut-S + Montanide injection.
Best Available TherapyACTIVE_COMPARATORFour options, as monotherapy or as combination of agents listed below, (per treating investigator's choice): 1. Observation (whereby palliative management with hydroxyurea is allowed), or 2. HMA (decitabine or azacitidine), and/or 3. Venetoclax, and/or 4. Low-dose ara-C

Frequently asked questions about Galinpepimut-S

What is Galinpepimut-S used for?

Galinpepimut-S is an investigational cancer immunotherapy being studied for multiple myeloma, acute myelogenous leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, and malignant pleural mesothelioma. It is being evaluated as a maintenance treatment in acute myeloid leukemia and in other oncology settings.

What does Galinpepimut-S target?

Galinpepimut-S is a WT1 (Wilms tumor 1) analog peptide vaccine. It is designed to stimulate the immune system to target cells expressing the WT1 antigen, which is overexpressed in several cancers including leukemia and mesothelioma.

Who makes Galinpepimut-S?

Galinpepimut-S is being developed by SELLAS Life Sciences Group, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol SLS.

What phase is Galinpepimut-S in?

Galinpepimut-S is in Phase 3 clinical development for acute myeloid leukemia. It has also completed Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials in multiple myeloma, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and malignant pleural mesothelioma. It is investigational and not yet approved by the FDA.

What clinical trials is Galinpepimut-S in?

Galinpepimut-S is being studied in the Phase 3 trial NCT04229979 for acute myeloid leukemia maintenance, which is active but not recruiting. Completed trials include NCT01265433 in malignant pleural mesothelioma, NCT01266083 in acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and NCT01827137 in multiple myeloma.

Is Galinpepimut-S the same as a WT1 vaccine?

Yes, Galinpepimut-S is also known as a WT1 analog peptide vaccine. It is designed to target the WT1 antigen, and some clinical trial titles refer to it as the WT1 vaccine.
