Imugene Limited

Imugene is a clinical stage immuno-oncology company developing a range of new treatments that seek to activate the immune system of cancer patients to identify and eradicate tumors. Its lead product is HER-Vaxx, a HER2-positive cancer vaccine that stimulates a polyclonal antibody response against HER2/neu receptors in gastric and breast cancer. The company’s HER-Vaxx is in Phase 1b/2 study for gastric cancer.

It also engages in developing PD1-Vaxx, a cancer vaccine that aims to induce the body to produce polyclonal antibodies that block PD-1 signalling; B-Vaxx, a cancer vaccine to treat tumors that over-express the HER2/neu receptor; and CF33, a combination of genomic sequences from various vaccinia virus strains to generate potent virus. The company has a research collaboration with Celularity Inc. to develop the combination of Imugene’s CD19 oncolytic virus technology and Celularity’s CD19 targeting allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, CyCART-19 for the treatment of solid tumors; and has a strategic collaboration with Eureka Therapeutics, Inc.
