Press release - Non-regulatory
Oslo, Norway, 15 M arch 2023 – Targovax ASA (OSE: TRVX) today announces that an abstract describing its circular RNA platform has been accepted for poster presentation at the 2023 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting in Orlando, USA.
The abstract describes the advantage of protein expression utilizing Targovax´proprietary circAde vector system. By comparing protein expression from circRNA and mRNA-based vectors, it is shown that the circAde-system out-performs conventional mRNA-based designs, both in terms of protein expression level and durability. Persistent and prolonged protein expression in patients correlate with positive treatment outcome. The results thus highlight the circAde platform’s potential for development of novel, more effective medicines for the treatment of cancer and other diseases.
The abstract has been released on the AACR website (Program Planner). The poster is scheduled for presentation Tuesday 18 April 2022 and will be available on Targovax’s website after the presentation.
