Immunicum AB (publ) Plans to Expand its Research and Process Development Facilities in Leiden, the Netherlands

Immunicum AB (publ; IMMU.ST) announced today that its in-house research and process development activities will move into a new facility at the Leiden Bio Science Park, the Netherlands. The Company has signed a long-term lease with developer Kadans Science Partner for approximately 1,100 square meters of laboratory and office space in the Plus Ultra Leiden, a new building currently under development. Furthermore, Immunicum has the option to rent an additional 1,100 square meters to further support its future growth. The new location, that is expected to be fully commissioned in 2022, will serve as Immunicum’s core research and development hub. 

“This state-of-the-art facility in one of Europe’s most vibrant life sciences research communities is an integral part of our corporate strategy as it will enable us to rapidly and cost-effectively continue the development of potential transformative treatment options for cancer patients,” stated Sven Rohmann, M.D., Ph.D., CEO of Immunicum. “Following the combination with DCprime, we have strengthened our team of leading experts and we will establish this new facility as a center of excellence, thereby gaining full control over crucial product development aspects of our cell-based therapies.”

The new facility will house the entire Leiden-based operation of Immunicum. Multiple laboratory suites will support Immunicum’s research and development activities for the now expanded pipeline of next-generation cell-based immunotherapies following the business combination in December last year.

Mendus has announced a collaboration with Institut Bergonié, an established comprehensive cancer centre in France, to test ilixadencel in soft tissue sarcomas (STS) as part of an ongoing Phase I/II basket trial (REGOMUNE). The trial is a multi-centre, prospective open-label study assessing the combination of regorafenib (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor) and avelumab (an immune checkpoint inhibitor) in various solid tumours. Ilixadencel will be evaluated along with a combination in one of the treatme...

Mendus - Recent clinical data highlight vididencel’s potential

Mendus recently presented positive data from two ongoing clinical studies, ADVANCE II and ALISON, at the EHA and ESMO conferences, respectively. While the Phase I ALISON trial, evaluating lead asset vididencel in ovarian cancer, met its primary endpoint of generating sufficient vaccine-induced responses (VIR), further analysis of ADVANCE II data (studying vididencel as a maintenance therapy in AML) confirmed the drug’s potential in generating a broader immune response through both T-cell and B-c...

Mendus - All hands on deck as inflection points approach

With Mendus’s Q124 results, management recapped its clinical priorities, which are all progressing as expected. The focus remains on the AMLM22-CADENCE trial for lead cancer vaccine vididencel, in combination with oral azacitidine as a maintenance treatment for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). R&D expenses came in slightly ahead of expectations with the ramp up in clinical activity, including preparation for the subsequent pivotal Phase III trial, with large-scale manufacturing of vididencel (plan...
