About Imugene and HER-Vaxx

Imugene (ASX: IMU) is a clinical stage immuno-oncology company headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. Its lead product is HER-Vaxx, a B Cell peptide vaccine for the treatment of gastric cancer. The company is also developing mimotope-based immunotherapies against validated and new oncology targets. HER-Vaxx is a cancer immunotherapy designed to treat tumours that over-express the HER2/neu receptor, such as gastric, breast, ovarian, lung and pancreatic cancers. This unique immunotherapy, developed by leading scientists at the Medical University of Vienna in Austria, is a peptide vaccine constructed from various B cell epitopes of HER- 2/neu. It has been shown in pre-clinical work and in one Phase 1 study to stimulate a potent polyclonal antibody response to HER-2/neu, a wellknown and validated cancer target. HER-Vaxx’s successful Phase 1 study was in patients with breast cancer and the next stage of development will be a Phase 1b/2 study in patients with gastric cancer initiating in 2016. In January 2016 Imugene announced a new partnership with the Medical University of Vienna to discover and develop mimotope-based immunotherapies against validated and new oncology targets. This partnership has the potential to create B Cell peptide vaccines that would replace or augment conventional monoclonal antibodies. In December 2016, Imugene announced an exclusive agreement with the internationally respected Baker IDI Heart & Diabetes Institute in Melbourne to research, develop and commercialise a portfolio of small molecule arginine modulators for oncology.
