Nykode Therapeutics to Present Data on the Strength of the Neoantigen
Selection Method from Two Clinical Trials at the Society for Immunotherapy
of Cancer (SITC) 2025 Annual Meeting

On November 5, 2025 Nykode Therapeutics ASA (OSE: NYKD), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery and development of novel immunotherapies, reported the presentation of new integrated multiomics and biomarker analyses from the phase 1/2 VB N-01 (NCT03548467) and phase 1 VB N-02 (NCT05018273) clinical trials of the individualized cancer vaccine VB10.NEO, designed using Nykode’s AI-powered NeoSELECT platform, at the 40th Annual Meeting of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) (Free SITC Whitepaper) held in National Harbor, Maryland, 5-9 November 2025.

The poster highlights the capabilities of Nykode’s proprietary AI-powered NeoSELECT platform, which enables individualized cancer vaccine design by integrating multiomics data to select neoantigens with a high potential to trigger clinically relevant tumor-specific immune responses.

In the phase 1/2 VB N-01 and phase 1 VB N-02 trials, VB10.NEO developed using NeoSELECT elicited neoantigen-specific T-cell responses in 94% and 100% of participants, respectively, across multiple solid tumor types. High-quality neoantigens prioritized by NeoSELECT showed enrichment of both overall and stable/amplified immunogenic responses, supporting prolonged and amplified neoantigen-specific immune responses after VB10.NEO vaccination.

"We are very proud of our in-house artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities. It is great to see the strong performance of our immunogenicity predictions being confirmed across both clinical trials," said Agnete Fredriksen, CSO and Co-founder of Nykode Therapeutics. "While the N-01 cohort was highly heterogeneous and patients received multiple concurrent therapies, we note a favorable association between a higher number of high-quality immunogenic neoantigens and overall survival. This encouraging signal warrants confirmation in controlled studies with more homogeneous patient populations and earlier lines of treatment."
