About Targovax
Activating the patient’s immune system to fight cance
Targovax (OSE:TRVX) is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing immune
activators to target hard to treat solid tumors. Immuno-oncology is currently
one of the fastest growing therapeutic fields in medicine.
Targovax’s lead product candidate, ONCOS-102, is a genetically modified
oncolytic adenovirus, which has been engineered to selectively infect and
replicate in cancer cells. It is used as a therapeutic cancer vaccine and has
been shown to activate the immune system to generate tumor-specific immune
responses. In phase I trials, ONCOS-102 induced both local and systemic innate
and adaptive immune activation, which has been associated with clinical benefit.
ONCOS-102’s lead indication is mesothelioma, where the virus is currently being
tested in a randomized phase II trial, with a phase Ib safety lead-in cohort.
Another trial, in advanced melanoma, is expected to produce important proof of
concept data for checkpoint inhibitor refractory patients within the next 6-12
months.
Targovax is also developing a neo-antigen cancer vaccine targeting tumors that
express mutated forms of RAS - mutations known to drive cancer. The TG vaccine
program has shown a signal of efficacy in a 32-patient trial with TG01 in
resected pancreatic cancer. A next generation product candidate, TG02 is
currently tested as monotherapy and will also be tested in combination with
Keytruda® (an anti-PD1 Check point inhibitor, CPI)
