RECENT PRESENTATIONS

Keystone Meeting on Cancer Immunotherapy Beyond Immune Checkpoint Blockade and Overcoming Resistance in Vancouver, Canada. “High Labyrinthin Expression is Associated with High PDL-1 Expression and Poor Prognosis in Patients with NSCLC”, March 2024.

Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer meeting, Nov 2023:

  1. “Labyrinthin as a potential neoantigen for oncogene-driven and non-oncogene-driven lung adenocarcinomas”; confirms labyrinthin as a diagnostic marker and a therapeutic target and reports on the novel finding that the more labyrinthin is expressed on tumors, the more that the immune checkpoint receptor, PDL-1, is expressed. The results validate Phase II clinical trial using a PDL-1 blocker (pembrolizumab) with our vaccine, LabVax.  See Full Article Here.
     

  2. "Novel biomarker assays for detecting labyrinthin-positive adenocarcinomas for a phase I/II trial of peptide vaccine LabVax 3(22)-23 alone or in combination with pembrolizumab”, sets that stage for the Phase II trial using LabVax and immune checkpoint inhibitor combination.  See Full Article Here.
     

  3. “A phase 1/2 open label study of LabVax 3(22)-23 and adjuvant GM-CSF alone or in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with labyrinthin-positive adenocarcinomas”; describes the clinical trial.  See Full Article Here.

invitation; December 2022.

 

LabVax was selected for a special oral presentation entitled “Novel Peptide Vaccines against Labyrinthin
for Adenocarcinomas” that was given by a lead researcher at the UCD NIH-Designated Comprehensive
Cancer Center.  October 2022.

“High Labyrinthin Expression is Associated with Poor Prognosis in Patients with NSCLC” shared a novel,
yet expected, study result in which labyrinthin expression is directly related to patient morbidity (i.e.,
death). The work presented by a team of UCD investors supports the idea that labyrinthin is more than
a marker, but important to screen patients for anti-labyrinthin treatment, predict patient outcomes (Dx)
and serve as a key target in strategizing an attack on adenocarcinomas. October 2022.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Phase II clinical trial approved by FDA…without comment!  The clinical trial is in collaboration with the University of California, Davis and the National Cancer Institute.  Building upon the Phase I clinical trial success, this Phase II will study LabVax (+GM-CSF as adjuvant) in combination with pembrolizumab, what’s referred to as a checkpoint inhibitor.  In other words, there will be an “offensive” as well as “defensive” approach to treating the cancers: LabVax (i.e., our active immunotherapy vaccine) induces the immune system attack in the cancers, whereas pembrolizumab is an FDA approved antibody that prevents cancer cell resistance.  Cancer.gov, 2023.

Phase I clinical trial of LabVax is successful.  The trial was completed March 2023.  The results of this initial study were remarkably encouraging. The treatment was well tolerated and without any adverse event.

“28th Annual Cancer Research Symposium draws big crowd” CANCER CARE October 14, 2022. Our
proprietary target, Labyrinthin, was a featured subject.
