ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
11 January 2012
Technology Update
Imugene Limited (ASX: IMU) has completed an initial review of its vaccine products and intellectual property portfolio to determine the most appropriate path to follow after the termination of the global license agreement effected late September 2010.
Dr Warwick Lamb, CEO of Imugene said, “We have carefully reviewed the commercial and scientific aspects of our vaccine products and intellectual property portfolio. We remain convinced there are components of our technology that have strong commercial prospects, particularly the pig vaccines. We are considering new approaches for delivering certain vaccines to maximize the efficacy of these vaccines, concentrating on the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) vaccine initially. We will be undertaking discussions with interested parties to determine the level of commercial interest in progressing our technology. We are placing the development of the poultry vaccines on hold at this time. We have also taken a prudent approach to expenditure for 2012.”
