PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Seneca Therapeutics, Inc. (“STI”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of targeted oncolytic immunotherapeutics for cancer based on Seneca Valley Virus (SVV-001), announced today the successful development of a novel SVV-001 Patient Screening Test. The test uses a unique set of genes to predict sensitivity to SVV-001 in tumor cells obtained from patient samples. The SVV-001 Patient Screening Test can be used on Formalin-Fixed-Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) tumor blocks allowing for patient screening using previous biopsies. The SVV-001 Patient Screening Test will identify which cancer patients will benefit from SVV-001 treatment either as monotherapy or in combination with other immune therapies like checkpoint inhibitors. The SVV-001 Patient Screening Test can also be used to identify types of cancer patients that will benefit from SVV-001. The test can be used to screen patients for products in the SVV-001 based Armed Construct Cancer Gene Therapy Portfolio currently in development. The selection of patients using the SVV-001 Patient Screening Test will be applicable whether the patient is treated with either the Intra-tumoral or Intravenous route of administration. The SVV-001 Patient Screening Test will be available through CLIA laboratories.
