Imugene Receives $230K Research and Development Tax Refund
Imugene Limited (ASX:IMU) has received a research and development tax refund of $230,690 as part of the Australian government’s R&D incentive program.
These funds complement Imugene’s $3.5 million capital raising announced in December and will contribute to the progression of the company’s main asset, HER-Vaxx, due to enter additional human Phase Ib/II gastric cancer clinical trials later this year.
“Imugene’s research capability is strengthened by this financial support. This clinical research on HER-Vaxx is attempting to develop much better treatments for HER2-positive gastric, breast and other cancers and is striving to help sufferers and benefit healthcare,” said Mr Charles Walker, Managing Director of Imugene.
“Our endeavour is to achieve one or more breakthroughs in these areas with superior commercial products. This non-dilutive funding helps us move down this path. I expect Imugene to continue to benefit from this innovative R&D refund scheme in future years.”
