Recent Company History

Positive Phase 1 breast cancer vaccine data, including protocol‑defined immune responses in 74% of participants, and encouraging survival data from the lira‑cel CAR‑T trial have been shared via clinical updates, conferences, and media appearances.

Key Terms

car-t therapy, phase 1 clinical trial, phase 1 clincial trial, protocol-defined immune responses
4 terms
car-t therapy medical
"Ovarian cancer CAR-T therapy, lira-cel, exhibiting positive survival data..."
CAR-T therapy is a type of medical treatment that uses a patient's own immune cells, specially modified to better recognize and attack cancer cells. For investors, it represents a significant advancement in cancer care, with the potential to transform treatment options and generate substantial demand, making companies involved in its development and production potentially valuable in the healthcare industry.
phase 1 clinical trial medical
"Breast cancer vaccine met primary endpoints... in Phase 1 clinical trial"
A phase 1 clinical trial is the first stage of testing a new drug or treatment in people, typically involving a small group to assess safety, how the body handles the treatment, and appropriate dosing. For investors, phase 1 results are an early risk check — like a test drive that can reveal fatal flaws or promising signals — and they often cause big changes in a drug’s perceived value and the company’s prospects.
phase 1 clincial trial medical
"lira-cel, exhibiting positive survival data in ongoing Phase 1 clincial trial"
Phase 1 clinical trial is the first stage of testing a new drug or treatment in humans, typically involving a small group of healthy volunteers or patients to assess safety, tolerable doses and early side effects. For investors, it matters because a clean Phase 1 reduces the chance of safety-related failure, unlocks next-stage funding and partnerships, and acts like a test drive that determines whether a development program can move forward toward larger efficacy tests.
protocol-defined immune responses medical
"generated protocol-defined immune responses in 74% of participants"
Pre-specified immune responses are the exact signs of immune activity a clinical trial team agrees to measure and count ahead of time—such as a certain antibody level or a rise in specific immune cells—listed in the study’s written plan. Investors care because these preset benchmarks act like a recipe’s success checklist: meeting them supports claims that a drug or vaccine works, which affects regulatory approval odds, market value and future sales potential.

About Anixa Biosciences, Inc.
Anixa is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the treatment and prevention of cancer. Anixa's therapeutic portfolio consists of liraltagene autoleucel, or lira-cel, an ovarian cancer immunotherapy being developed in collaboration with Moffitt Cancer Center, which uses a novel type of CAR-T, known as chimeric endocrine receptor-T cell (CER-T) technology. This technology is differentiated from other cell therapies as the natural ligand of the FSHR receptor, FSH, binds to the FSHR receptor on the tumor cell instead of an antibody fragment. Moffitt is a world leader in cancer immunotherapy treatments, pioneering next-generation cell therapies such as CAR-T, and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) to harness the power of the immune system. The Company's vaccine portfolio includes vaccines being developed in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic to treat and prevent breast cancer and ovarian cancer, as well as additional cancer vaccines to address many intractable cancers, including high incidence malignancies in lung, colon, and prostate. These vaccine technologies focus on immunizing against "retired" proteins that have been found to be expressed in certain forms of cancer. The breast and ovarian cancer vaccines were developed at Cleveland Clinic and exclusively licensed to Anixa. Cleveland Clinic is entitled to royalties and other commercialization revenues from the Company related to these vaccine technologies. Anixa's unique business model of partnering with world-renowned research institutions on all stages of development allows the Company to continually examine emerging technologies in complementary fields for further development and commercialization.
