The Phase III trial, TRIST, is designed to demonstrate definitively that TroVax
is effective as a treatment for renal cell carcinoma. It will compare the responses
of patients who are treated with TroVax in combination with one of the standard
therapies for the disease (interleukin-2, interferon-alpha or sunitinib) with those
patients who are given a placebo in combination with standard treatment. TroVax's
effectiveness will be measured as its ability to prolong the survival of patients.
The rate and amount that the tumours respond to treatment, the length of time that
patients survive without the progression of their disease, and patients’ quality
of life will also be measured and compared between the trial and control groups.
Oxford BioMedica is the innovator of TroVax and is developing the product in collaboration
with sanofi-aevntis.
