NEEDHAM, Mass., Sept. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Candel Therapeutics, Inc. (Candel or the Company) (Nasdaq: CADL), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing multimodal immunotherapies to improve disease outcomes for patients with cancer, today announced novel immunological biomarker data from the ongoing phase 2 PrTK05 trial (NCT07332000) in patients with intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer. These data, together with histologic and clinical data from the intermediate-risk prostate cancer subgroup of the PrTK03 phase 3 trial (NCT01436968) (635 patients, 85% of the intention-to-treat population), are expected to be presented at a future scientific meeting. Intermediate-risk prostate cancer represents the largest group of patients with localized disease treated with curative-intent external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), accounting for approximately 65,000 patients annually in the United States. Despite radiotherapy, disease recurrence, local and metastatic progression, and the need for salvage anti-cancer therapies that can be associated with substantial toxicity and impaired quality of life remain important unmet needs. This underscores the need for new treatments designed to enhance local tumor control and reduce the risk of disease progression.
