Mike Catelani, President, COO & CFO of Anixa, will deliver a presentation highlighting Anixa’s breast cancer vaccine, being developed in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic, which completed a Phase 1 clinical trial that was funded by the U.S. Department of Defense. The trial met all primary endpoints, including safety, and protocol-defined immune responses were generated in 74% of participants. Preparations are underway for a Phase 2 trial.
"The recent presentation of preliminary data by Merck and Moderna for their personalized melanoma vaccine reinforces the growing potential of cancer vaccines as an important new approach to both treating and preventing cancer. Anixa is already advancing within this field with a vaccine designed to both treat and prevent breast cancer. Following the encouraging results from our Phase 1 trial, we are now preparing to advance the program into Phase 2 studies," stated Dr. Amit Kumar, Chairman and CEO of Anixa.
Mr. Catelani will also discuss Anixa’s ovarian cancer CAR-T therapy, liraltagene-autoleucel, or lira-cel, which is being evaluated in an ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial in collaboration with Moffitt Cancer Center. Participants in this trial are highly pre-treated, recurrent and resistant ovarian cancer patients, who have failed conventional therapies and are progressing. In the lira-cel trial, dosing has advanced to the fifth and highest cohort evaluated to date, which incorporates lymphodepletion for the first time. No dose-limiting toxicities have been observed in the study to date, and four patients have surpassed one year of survival following treatment, with the longest at approximately 28 months.
"This is an exciting time for Anixa, with our breast cancer vaccine advancing toward Phase 2 and our ovarian cancer CAR-T program now dosing at the highest level evaluated in the trial," said Mr. Catelani, "We look forward to sharing our progress in future."
