Phase 1b/2a Trial Results in Survival for One Patient

Attorney Ben Lyon of San Francisco, California, has served as the general counsel and advisor to executive teams in several industries, including bio-pharmaceuticals. In his role as an attorney, Ben Lyon is an executive and the chief legal officer of Immix BioPharma, Inc.

Immix BioPharma focuses on finding effective treatments for a number of diseases. In 2020, Immix BioPharma’s IMX-110 Phase 1 trial resulted in one patient with stage 4 leiomyosarcoma reaching six months of progression-free survival. The IMX-110 study assessed a combination therapy designed to slow metastasis while inducing cancer cell death (apoptosis).

At the time of the report, the trial resulted in a 100-percent clinical benefit rate (disease stability) at the two-month point in six patients, including the patient who had been stable for six months. This was a major development because six months of progression-free survival is believed to be a significant response time and clinical benefit.
