BioVaxys Chief Medical Officer David Berd, MD, will present new data from recent in vivo studies of DPX conducted by Pramrod K. Srivastava, Ph.D., M.D., Professor, Department of Immunology, Director, Center for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) (Free SITC Whitepaper) and Infectious Diseases and the Carole and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center at UConn Health, University of Connecticut, and Hakimeh Ebrahimi-Nik, DVM, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Medical Oncology, The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center.
BioVaxys President and Chief Operating Officer Kenneth Kovan stated, "We will be withholding detailed disclosure on potential new therapeutic roles for DPX and neoepitopes until the conference, but suffice to say, the data suggests DPX has a significant role in the delivery of tumor neoepitope vaccines that induce tumor rejection, and DPX on its own appears to have an anti-tumor capacity."
BioVaxys is advancing additional studies with Dr. Nik and her research team on DPX delivering tumor neoepitope vaccines that induce tumor rejection, and DPX anti-tumor capacity.
