MOLOGEN AG: U.S. patent for lead product MGN1703 in combination with chemotherapy announced

MOLOGEN AG announces that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) has declared that it will grant a patent (Notice of Allowance) for the combined use of the lead product, immunotherapy MGN1703, with a chemotherapeutic agent.

MGN1703 is currently being tested in a phase III IMPALA pivotal study, both as a monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy. The patent will be granted for the USA and would, in the event of market approval there, cover the dosing regimen for MGN1703 in combination with chemotherapy. In addition, the patent will last probably several years longer than the initial patent for MGN1703 (substance patent) and would therefore permit a longer exclusive commercialization than the initial patent.
