Novel HDAC inhibitor hits main goal in unresectable melanoma trial. - Four-month gain in PFS with HBI-8000, 13 months in LDH-normal subgroup, but toxicity a concern Progression-free survival (PFS) in unresectable melanoma improved significantly with the addition of an investigational histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor to immunotherapy, a randomized trial showed. Median PFS increased from 7.36 months with nivolumab (Opdivo) and placebo to 11.66 months with nivolumab and HBI-8000. At 24 months, 41.3% of the combination arm remained alive and progression free compared with 28.7% of the control group. Patients with normal lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels at baseline, a majority of the study population, derived even more benefit from nivolumab-HBI-8000, with a median PFS of 20.04 months. Grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred three times as often with nivolumab and HBI-8000 but were manageable in most cases, reported Nikhil Khushalani, MD, of Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida, at the European Society for Medical Oncology congress in Madrid. "While GI [gastrointestinal] toxicities are certainly more common with this combination, these adverse events tend to be manageable with low rates of grade 3 and 4 nonhematologic adverse events," said Khushalani. "'The rate of endocrine toxicity appears similar to nivolumab alone. Combination HBI-8000 plus nivolumab can certainly be considered a standard-of-care option for advanced, unresectable melanoma, offering an advantage of oral dosing and potentially drug-specific dose attenuation for unique toxicities." The trial is clearly positive for the HDAC inhibitor-nivolumab arm, said ESMO invited discussant Olivier Michielin, MD, PhD, of Geneva University Hospital in Switzerland. The 2-year results compare favorably with 2-year results from two previous trials that established benchmarks for unresectable melanoma, CheckMate 067 (nivolumab with or without ipilimumab [Yervoy]) and RELATIVITY-047 (nivolumab alone or with relatlimab [Opdualag]). Two-year overall survival (OS) data for the earlier studies showed a nonsignificant trend favoring combination therapy, whereas 2-year OS data for the current study remain immature. "HDAC inhibitors clearly have an impact on cancer cells, promoting antigen presentation, but also making the cells more susceptible to immune killing," said Michielin. "There is also a wealth of impact on the tumor microenvironment, touching on all the cells, either directly or indirectly, and promoting generally a more immunostimulatory microenvironment, hence, a good rationale to combine these compounds with PD-1 blockade." "My personal take out of this abstract is that data could support HBI-8000 plus nivolumab as a first-line option, but the evolving dataset should be looked at carefully for OS but also toxicity in the coming months to really base our decision on the full package," he added. The phase III HBI-8000-303 trial followed a small phase Ib/II trial of the combination therapy in patients with anti-PD(L)1-naive advanced melanoma. The treatment led to an objective response rate of 65.8% with no unexpected toxicity. Conducted at 123 sites in 15 countries, the phase III trial enrolled 404 patients with unresectable stage III/IV melanoma and no prior exposure to a PD(L)1 inhibitor or any other immune checkpoint inhibitor. They were randomized to nivolumab with HBI-8000 or placebo and followed until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. PFS was the primary endpoint. The patients had a median age of 67, and men accounted for 60-65% of the study population. Two-thirds of the patients had normal LDH levels at baseline, and about half had PD-L1-positive tumors. About 60% of the patients had clinical M0/M1a/M1b disease stage. After a median follow-up of 37 months, the primary analysis showed a 4.3-month difference in PFS in favor of the HBI-8000 arm, representing a 27% reduction in the PFS hazard (95% CI 0.56-0.95, P=0.0141). The subgroup analysis favored HBI-8000 for almost all patient categories. The PFS benefit with HBI-8000 in patients with normal LDH increased to 35% (CI 0.47-0.90, P=0.0082). PFS at 24 months showed a clear advantage for the HBI-8000 arm (41.3% vs 28.7% in all patients and 47.2% vs 32.6% in patients with normal LDH). Objective response rates were 41.4% versus 32.3%, a difference driven by a higher number of complete responses (14.3% vs 7.0%). Grade 3/4 TRAEs occurred in 54.8% of the HBI-8000 group and 17.9% of the placebo group. TRAE-related discontinuation rates were 14.1% with HBI-8000 and 5.0% in the control group. Notable differences in grade 3/4 hematologic TRAEs included thrombocytopenia (7.5% vs 0%) and neutropenia (16.6% vs 0.5%). Rates of pneumonitis, hyperthyroidism, and adrenal insufficiency were similar, including all-grade and grade 3/4.
Tampa Bay Wave collaborates with Vanderbilt Health to launch dual-region HealthTech|X Accelerator for Behavioral Health and Addiction startups. Collaboration pairs Tampa Bay and Nashville's healthcare ecosystems, giving founders direct access to investors, researchers, clinicians, and licensing opportunities. September 23, 2026 13:58 ET | Source: Tampa Bay Wave TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Tampa Bay Wave, a nonprofit, zero-equity startup accelerator, today announced a new partnership with Vanderbilt Health through the Brock Family Center for Applied Innovation to power its 2026 HealthTech|X cohort. The dual-region program will support startups building technology for behavioral health and addiction, two of the fastest-growing and most urgent categories in the industry. Through the partnership, founders selected for the cohort will have direct access to Vanderbilt researchers, clinicians, informaticists and health system leaders, along with paths to clinical research partnerships, technology transfer and licensing of Vanderbilt technologies. "Behavioral health and addiction don't leave room for ideas that only work on paper. Founders need clinicians willing to test their technology against real patients, fast. That's what Vanderbilt brings to this partnership, and paired with everything we've built in Tampa Bay, it gives these founders a shot most Accelerators can't offer," said Linda Olson, Founder and CEO, Tampa Bay Wave. "Vanderbilt Health and the Brock Center for Applied Innovation are excited to collaborate with Tampa Bay Wave to welcome innovative behavioral health and addiction-focused startups into the HealthTech|X cohort.

"Behavioral health and addiction are two critical areas of healthcare that need innovation from strong founders. The opportunity to pair two of the strongest HealthTech ecosystems in the United States in Tampa and Nashville is unique and a major inflection point for the Tampa Bay Wave, but most importantly provides an opportunity to rally investors, healthcare executives, and more to support the incoming cohort companies in a big way as they grow and scale their startups," said Richard Munassi, MD, MBA, Managing Director, Tampa Bay Wave. "The entire Brock family and Brock Recovery Group team is excited to see the launch of the 2026 HealthTech|X Accelerator program focused on Behavioral Health and Addiction startups. With pairing together a world class Accelerator in the Tampa Bay Wave with all that Nashville and the Brock Family Center for Innovation at Vanderbilt Health has to offer, along with the tremendous ecosystems of Tampa and Nashville, the program will undoubtedly be of high value to all the matriculating startups, now and into the future," said Major Brock, CEO, Brock Recovery Group. The 2026 HealthTech|X cohort will run across both Tampa and Nashville, with in-person session weeks in each city and virtual engagement between them, culminating in pitch nights in each market and a remote Demo Day.
