Welcome to our dedicated page for Replimune Group news (Ticker: REPL), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Replimune Group stock.
Replimune Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: REPL) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company committed to advancing cancer treatment through innovative oncolytic immune-gene therapies. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts, Replimune leverages its proprietary Immulytic™ platform to develop product candidates aimed at activating the immune system against solid tumors.
The core of Replimune’s portfolio includes RP1, RP2, and RP3, all based on genetically-engineered strains of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1). These strains are modified to maximize tumor killing and stimulate a systemic anti-tumor immune response. RP1, the company’s lead product, is designed for enhanced tumor killing and has shown promising results in combination with anti-PD1 therapies. It is currently undergoing clinical trials for anti-PD1 failed melanoma and other skin cancers, with plans to submit a Biologics License Application (BLA) in 2H 2024.
Another notable candidate is RP2, which expresses an anti-CTLA-4 antibody-like protein to further enhance immune response. RP2 has demonstrated durable response rates in advanced uveal melanoma patients, a particularly challenging cancer type with limited treatment options. RP3, the third candidate in the pipeline, is engineered to express multiple immune-activating proteins, though its development has currently been paused to focus on higher priority programs.
Replimune's recent achievements include favorable safety profiles and substantial response rates in clinical trials. For instance, RP2 in combination with nivolumab showed a durable overall response rate of nearly 30% in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma. Additionally, RP1 has demonstrated significant anti-tumor activity in organ transplant recipients who typically cannot undergo systemic immunotherapy.
The company has established alliances with major pharmaceutical entities, such as Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, to further its clinical trials and explore combination therapies. Financially, Replimune is robust, with a cash runway extending into early 2026, thanks to strategic reprioritization and successful capital management.
Replimune is dedicated to evolving its portfolio and optimizing its RPx platform. The dual local and systemic mechanism of action of its therapies offers a versatile approach that can be combined with various other cancer treatment modalities, thus holding significant promise for the future of oncology.
Replimune Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: REPL) has successfully completed a pre-Biologics License Application (pre-BLA) meeting with the FDA, supporting their plans to submit a BLA for RP1 (vusolimogene oderparepvec) in the treatment of anti-PD1 failed melanoma via the accelerated approval pathway in 2H 2024. The company's CEO, Sushil Patel, confirmed that the accelerated approval path is available for RP1 in this indication. Topline results from the primary analysis of the IGNYTE clinical trial of RP1 plus nivolumab showed an overall response rate of 33%. Independently reviewed data from this trial, including key secondary endpoints and subgroup analyses, will be presented at the ESMO Annual Congress 2024 in Barcelona on September 15, 2024.

Replimune Group (NASDAQ: REPL) announced that a late-breaking abstract presenting the primary analysis of the IGNYTE clinical trial has been selected for oral presentation at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024. The presentation, titled 'Primary efficacy, safety, and survival data from the registration-intended cohort of patients with anti-PD-1-failed melanoma from the IGNYTE clinical trial with RP1 combined with nivolumab,' will be delivered by Dr. Caroline Robert from Gustave Roussy Cancer Center on September 15, 2024. This presentation is part of the Mini Oral Session on Melanoma and other skin tumors, highlighting Replimune's progress in developing novel oncolytic immunotherapies.
Replimune Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: REPL) has initiated the IGNYTE-3 study, a global Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating RP1 (vusolimogene oderparepvec) plus nivolumab in advanced melanoma patients who have progressed on anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA-4 therapies or are ineligible for anti-CTLA-4 treatment. The trial, which has dosed its first patient, aims to support global regulatory interactions and confirm clinical benefits reported in the Phase 2 IGNYTE cohort. With 400 patients enrolled, the study will compare RP1 plus nivolumab against physician's choice treatments, focusing on overall survival as the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival and objective response rate. This trial is important for Replimune's planned BLA submission for RP1 in advanced melanoma later this year.
Replimune Group (NASDAQ: REPL) reported fiscal Q1 2025 results and provided a corporate update. Key highlights include:
- Pre-BLA meeting with FDA scheduled for September, BLA submission planned for 2H 2024
