.... The phase 1 trial in Geneva is due for completion in the middle of 2015. Assuming a successful outcome, the company plans to conduct multi-centre clinical phase IIa trials in Europe in 2015-2017. The goal is to establish the cancer-specific treatment efficacy and safety of MVX-ONCO-1 in larger lung, ovarian and pancreatic cancer patient populations. The company is conducting a new financing round with existing and new private investors to support these clinical programs.......
About MVX-ONCO-1
MaxiVAX' novel Immuno-Oncology therapy is based on triggering the patient's own natural immune response mechanism via an innovative and proprietary technology in order to eliminate the cancer cells. MVX-ONCO-1 has been classified as an Advanced Therapeutic Medicinal Product by the European Medicines Agency.
MVX-ONCO-1 consists of a two-component system:
1) Vaccine: administered by sub-cutaneous injection, this uses the patient's own irradiated cancer cells as vaccine antigens, with a key benefit of using the entire set of tumor antigens from the patient's cell
2) Immune boosting agent: an immune boosting agent (GM-CSF: granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor) is continuously delivered via encapsulated cells. The capsule, a small hollow fibre, is placed underneath the skin at the same site as the vaccine injection.
The vaccine and the immune-booster are both being administered 6 times over a period of 8 weeks in this first clinical trial.
