About MimiVax: MimiVax is a privately held, clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of immunotherapeutics and targeted therapies for the treatment of cancer. Our proprietary product portfolio is based on technology licensed from Roswell Park Cancer Institute that targets survivin, a cell-survival protein that is present in most cancers and rarely detectable in normal tissue. Our therapies are designed to stimulate immune responses to control tumor growth and recurrence.
About SurVaxM: SurVaxM, our lead immunotherapeutic candidate, has demonstrated safety and tolerability and strong efficacy signal in a Phase I study in patients with malignant gliomas (brain tumors). SurVaxM is an “engineered immune activating novel/neo antigen” applicable across most histologies. SurVaxM’s single long peptide (SLP) is engineered to be activating to mid-affinity T cell receptors. Mid-affinity T cell receptors have been shown to be critical for sustained T effector activation and durable T cell responses.
SurVaxM is currently being evaluated in a Phase II clinical trial in adults with newly diagnosed glioblastoma, and a Phase I clinical trial in combination with REVLIMID® (lenalidomide) as a maintenance therapy for adults with multiple myeloma (a form of blood cancer).
