TapImmune CEO Provides Update on Corporate Activity and Progression of Clinical Programs

LogoTapImmune is a clinical-stage immunotherapy company specializing in the development of innovative peptide and gene-based immunotherapeutics and vaccines for the treatment of cancer and infectious disease. The company now has multiple clinical trials underway at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, as well as an infectious disease program also completing pre-clinical testing at Mayo for a novel smallpox vaccine. In addition to our own sponsored clinical trials, we recently announced that a new grant-funded breast and ovarian cancer trial was started by Mayo using the same Folate Alpha receptor peptides to which we have the exclusive rights. Our development pipeline is extremely strong and provides us the opportunity to continue to expand on collaborations with leading institutions and corporations.

TapImmune Releases Positive Interim Data on Phase I Clinical Trial of Folate Receptor Alpha Antigens in Ovarian and Breast Cancer

LogoTapImmune Inc. is extremely pleased to report that analysis of the interim data from the first 13 patients in a Phase I clinical trial show that each of the patients treated have raised specific T-cell immune responses against a set of 5 naturally processed folate receptor alpha Class II antigenic epitopes. All five of the constituent peptides were found to be immunogenic and all patients developed immune responses to at least one and in most cases more than one of the vaccine peptides.
