About Ultimovacs:
Ultimovacs’ mission is to and extend and improve the life of patients by
enabling the immune system to fight cancer. The Company is developing immune-
stimulatory vaccines to treat a broad range of cancers. Ultimovacs’ lead
universal cancer vaccine candidate UV1 targets human telomerase (hTERT), present
in over 80% of cancers in all stages of tumor growth. By directing the immune
system to hTERT antigens, UV1 drives CD4 helper T cells to the tumor to activate
an immune system cascade and increase anti-tumor responses. With a broad Phase
II program, Ultimovacs aims to clinically demonstrate UV1’s impact in multiple
cancer types in combination with other immunotherapies. Ultimovacs’ second
technology approach, based on the proprietary Tetanus-Epitope-Targeting (TET)
platform, combines tumor-specific peptides and adjuvant in the same molecule and
entered Phase I studies in 2021.
