    • QUOTE: An investigational product refers to a preventative (vaccine), a therape​utic (drug or biologic), device, diagnostic, or palliative used in a clinical trial. An investigational product may be an unlicensed product or a licensed product when used or assembled (formulated or packaged) differently from the approved form, when used for an unapproved indication, or when used to gain further information about an approved use.

    • ABSTRACT: ... In cancer immunotherapy, two agents that have minor or no therapeutic effects as single agents can be powerful when combined. Mouse experimentation provides multiple examples of synergistic combinations. Elements to be combined include chiefly: tumor vaccines, adoptive T-cell therapies, cytokines, costimulatory molecules, molecular deactivation of immunosuppressive or tolerogenic pathways and immunostimulatory monoclonal antibodies. These novel therapies, even as single agents, are extremely complex products to be developed owing to the associated biomolecules, cell therapies or gene therapies. At present, drug-development programs are run individually for each immunotherapeutic agent and combinations are considered only at a later stage in clinical development, even in the absence of formal compulsory regulations to prevent clinical trials with combinations. As a result, instead of the search for maximal efficacy, ease of combination with standard treatments, intellectual property management, regulations and business-based decisions often guide the way. Even though the maximal effort must be made in order to prevent adverse effects in patients, it seems reasonable that combination pilot trials should be performed at an early stage, following safe completion of Phase I trials. These trials should be performed based on evidence for synergy in animal models and be simplified in terms of regulatory requirements. Such ‘short-cut’ combination immunotherapy trials can bring much needed efficacy earlier to the bedside.
