Publication in Cell Shows That Vaccitech’s SNAPvax™ Has the Potential to Treat Cancer by Reversing Suppressive Tumor Microenvironment with Novel “Vax-Innate” Paradigm
OXFORD, United Kingdom, Oct. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vaccitech plc (NASDAQ: VACC), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of novel immunotherapeutics and vaccines, today announced the publication of research in preclinical animal models demonstrating the potential of Vaccitech’s SNAPvax for use in a novel paradigm for cancer treatment referred to as “VAX-INNATE.” The results show that intravenous (IV) administration of SNAPvax not only primes and expands tumor-specific cytotoxic T cells that mediate tumor killing but also reverses suppression in the tumor microenvironment associated with significantly improved tumor regression.
- The results show that intravenous (IV) administration of SNAPvax not only primes and expands tumor-specific cytotoxic T cells that mediate tumor killing but also reverses suppression in the tumor microenvironment associated with significantly improved tumor regression.
- The research evaluated SNAPvax co-delivering tumor antigens and a powerful Toll-like receptor (TLR)-7/8 adjuvant by two different routes (IV or subcutaneous) in tumor-bearing mice.
- The aforementioned research was first published online in Cell and can be accessed at the link in the citation below.
