Business Update – June Quarter Appendix 4C

MELBOURNE Australia July 31, 2017: Imugene Limited (ASX: IMU), an immunooncology company is pleased to release its Appendix 4C for the quarter ended 30[th] June, 2017. During the quarter, the Company has:

  • Commenced the Phase 1b/2 gastric cancer study for HER-Vaxx (IMU-131);

  • Received full and final country regulatory approvals to initiate clinical trial;

  • Commenced patient recruitment in all 8 clinical sites in Thailand, Taiwan and Hong Kong;

  • Secured further intellectual property for HER-Vaxx;

  • Completed further development of the next generation of mimotope targets and pipeline;

  • Commenced in vivo testing of arginine modulator in animal models of cancer

HER-Vaxx is a next generation HER2 cancer therapy using B cell peptides, which harness the body’s ability to develop antibodies against the disease.

The board remains pleased with the company’s progress.

As the company continues to execute and expand activities in the Phase 1b/2 gastric study, securing rights to the technology and patents across all our technology, development of the next mimotope target and arginine modulator, there is a natural increase in expenditures to fund the growth of the company.

About Imugene (ASX:IMU)

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 HER-2/neu receptor, such as gastric, breast, ovarian, lung and pancreatic cancers. Developed by leading scientists at the Medical University of Vienna in Austria, the peptide vaccine is constructed from several B cell epitopes of HER-2/neu. It has been shown in pre-clinical studies and in one Phase I study to stimulate a potent polyclonal antibody response to HER-2/neu, a well-known and validated cancer target.

Imugene in partnership with the Medical University of Vienna is working to discover and develop mimotope-based immunotherapies against validated and new oncology targets. This partnership has the potential to create game-changing B Cell peptide vaccines that would replace or augment conventional monoclonal antibody therapies
