Initiation: Potent anti-tumour vaccine effect

Imugene is progressing its gastric (stomach) cancer therapeutic vaccine, HER-Vaxx, into a Phase Ib/II. This aims to replicate and improve on the combination of two proven therapeutic antibodies, Herceptin and Perjeta (Roche), which significantly improves survival in breast cancer and may do so in gastric cancer. Global gastric cancer incidence is 934,000 cases with few current therapeutic options and low survival. In the HER-Vaxx Phase I, management observes that patient antibodies displayed potent anti-tumour activity with an immune response. Imugene has placed A$2.25m of shares and announced a share purchase plan to initiate Phase Ib/II, with the aim of progressing the study to gain a major pharma deal following Phase II data in the buoyant cancer immunotherapy area.
