PDS Biotech (Nasdaq: PDSB) adopted an amended protocol for its Phase 3 VERSATILE-003 trial to add progression-free survival (PFS) as an interim primary endpoint to support a potential accelerated approval pathway for PDS0101 in HPV16-positive recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer.
Median overall survival (mOS) remains the primary endpoint for full approval; the company proceeded after the FDA 30-day IND review without objection, and management said the amendment could shorten trial duration and reduce costs.
PDS Biotech (Nasdaq: PDSB) reported NCI-led Phase 2 results for its IL-12 tumor-targeted immunocytokine PDS01ADC combined with docetaxel in 3rd-line metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
Results presented Jan 20–22, 2026 at AACR showed median PFS 9.6 months (range 4.3–32.2) and a median PSA decline of 40%, with 6 of 16 patients achieving >50% PSA decline.
PDS Biotech (Nasdaq: PDSB) announced a U.S. Notice of Allowance for a patent covering PDS0101 (U.S. Application No. 16/210,750) titled “Methods and Compositions Comprising Cationic Lipids for Stimulating Type I Interferon Genes.” The patent will grant composition and method-of-use claims and adds to an existing global IP estate. Combined with anticipated U.S. biologics exclusivity, the company expects approximately 20 years of market protection for PDS0101. PDS0101 is in the Phase 3 VERSATILE-003 trial for HPV16-positive head and neck cancer. The company submitted a protocol amendment to FDA proposing PFS as an earlier primary endpoint to support potential accelerated approval while median overall survival remains the primary endpoint for full approval.
PDS Biotech (NASDAQ: PDSB) submitted a protocol amendment to the FDA on Jan 9, 2026 to change the Phase 3 VERSATILE-003 trial's primary endpoint to progression-free survival (PFS), enabling earlier evaluation with significant statistical power and potentially supporting an accelerated approval pathway for PDS0101 in HPV16-positive recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer. Median overall survival (mOS) and safety remain required for full FDA approval. The amendment follows a constructive Type C meeting with the FDA in December 2025 and is supported by positive final VERSATILE-002 results reporting promising mOS and durable PFS.
PDS Biotechnology (Nasdaq: PDSB) announced that the Japan Patent Office issued Patent No. 7783866 for PDS0101 on Dec 9, 2025, granting broad composition-of-matter and methods-of-use claims.
The patent expands previously granted Japanese protections and adds to a global IP estate that includes granted patents in the United States, China, Australia, and Hong Kong, with additional applications pending in other countries. The company said this, together with anticipated biologics exclusivity in the United States, provides patent and market protections for PDS0101 into the 2040s. PDS0101 is in a Phase 3 trial studying PDS0101 plus pembrolizumab for HPV16-positive recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer.
PDS Biotech (Nasdaq: PDSB) announced the FDA accepted its request for a Type C meeting, scheduled for December 2025, to discuss a proposed amendment to the Phase 3 VERSATILE-003 trial.
The amendment would make progression-free survival (PFS) a surrogate primary endpoint evaluable earlier with statistical power, potentially enabling an accelerated approval pathway for PDS0101 in HPV16-positive recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer. Median overall survival (mOS) will remain the primary endpoint for full approval. The company cites positive final VERSATILE-002 results showing promising mOS and durable PFS in patients with CPS ≥ 1. FDA meeting minutes are expected in January 2026.
PDS Biotech (Nasdaq: PDSB) reported Q3 2025 results and clinical updates on Nov 13, 2025. The company completed the VERSATILE-002 Phase 2 trial of PDS0101 + pembrolizumab in HPV16+ recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer, reporting a median overall survival (mOS) of 39.3 months (CPS ≥1) and progression-free survival (PFS) of 6.3 months (CPS ≥1).
The company said it will request an FDA meeting to propose an amendment to the ongoing VERSATILE-003 Phase 3 trial to evaluate PFS as a surrogate primary endpoint for potential accelerated approval while retaining mOS for full approval. NCI presented translational data for PDS0101 and PDS01ADC; a colorectal cancer cohort of PDS01ADC met expansion criteria. Financials: net loss $9.0M for Q3; cash of $26.2M as of Sept 30, 2025; recent gross equity/warrant proceeds ~$5.3M.
PDS Biotechnology (Nasdaq: PDSB) announced a registered direct offering to sell 5,800,000 common shares (or pre-funded warrants) at $0.91 per share with accompanying warrants to purchase up to 5,800,000 shares at a $1.00 exercise price.
Initial gross proceeds are expected to be approximately $5.3 million at closing on or about Nov 12, 2025, with up to an additional $5.8 million if all warrants are exercised for cash. The company reported approximately $26.2 million cash as of Sept 30, 2025 (preliminary unaudited).
Proceeds are intended to support the VERSATILE-003 Phase 3 trial, planned FDA protocol discussions, R&D, and general corporate purposes. The company also agreed to amend existing warrants to reduce the exercise price from $1.50 to $1.00, exercisable six months after closing.
PDS Biotechnology (Nasdaq: PDSB) presented translational and clinical data at SITC 2025 showing immune-driven activity for two investigational therapies: PDS0101 (HPV16-targeted immunotherapy) and PDS01ADC (tumor-targeting IL-12 immunocytokine).
Key findings: a 50‑patient analysis of PDS0101 combinations showed broad immune activation and blood proteomic biomarkers that predicted clinical benefit; PDS01ADC monotherapy increased multifunctional NK cells and expanded stem-like memory CD8/CD4 T cells in 28 patients, with increases linked to clinical responses or disease stabilization.
