The presentations highlighted Anixa’s breast cancer vaccine, being developed in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic, which recently completed a Phase 1 clinical trial in which all major primary endpoints were met and protocol-defined immune responses were generated in 74% of participants, and 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.

"Presenting both of our clinical-stage immunotherapy programs at this symposium was an important opportunity to highlight the progress of our pipeline and the strength of the collaborations supporting these programs," said Dr. Amit Kumar, Chairman and CEO of Anixa Biosciences. "Our breast cancer vaccine and ovarian cancer CAR-T therapy are being advanced with leading clinical and scientific institutions, and we believe these presentations underscore the potential of Anixa’s approach to treating and preventing cancer."

The Company’s breast cancer vaccine presentation, titled "Phase I Trial of an Alpha-Lactalbumin (aLA) Vaccine for Breast Cancer," was given by Dr. Emily Esakov Rhoades, FDA/IND Trial Program Manager, Cleveland Clinic Cancer Institute. The presentation reported final Phase 1 findings for the investigational vaccine, including that all major primary endpoints were met, the vaccine was safe and well tolerated at the maximum tolerated dose based on safety and tolerability, and protocol-defined immune responses were elicited in 74% of trial participants.

The Company’s lira-cel presentation, titled "A Phase I Clinical Trial of an Infusion of Autologous T cells Genetically Engineered with a Chimeric Receptor to Target the Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Receptor in Patients with Recurrent Ovarian Cancer," was given by Dr. Pamela D. Garzone, Chief Development Officer of Anixa Biosciences. The presentation reported the clinical trial design and objectives, as well as the current status of Anixa’s ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial of lira-cel, including survival observations of multiple patients living over one year past treatment.

About Anixa’s Breast Cancer Vaccine
Anixa’s breast cancer vaccine represents a novel approach to the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. The vaccine is based on immunizing against human α-lactalbumin, a protein associated with lactation that is highly expressed in certain types of breast cancer. This "retired" protein vaccine strategy aims to selectively prime the immune system to prevent tumor formation while avoiding harm to normal tissue.

About Lira-cel, Anixa’s CAR-T Therapy for Recurrent Ovarian Cancer
Liraltagene autoleucel, or lira-cel, uniquely targets the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR), which is selectively expressed on ovarian and testis cells, tumor vasculature, and certain cancer cells, but not in other healthy tissue. The ongoing Phase 1 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05316129) is enrolling adult women with recurrent ovarian cancer who are platinum resistant and have progressed after at least two prior therapies.
