Following recent regulatory approval, the first patient has now been enrolled into the company-sponsored phase 1b trial. The VITAL-CML trial is led by Prof Dr Bjørn Tore Gjertsen (University of Bergen and Haukeland University Hospital, Norway) and evaluates vididencel in chronic phase CML patients with a sub-optimal response to currently approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The VITAL-CML trial will recruit up to 24 patients, with initial topline safety and early molecular response data based on the first 8 patients treated expected in the second half of 2026. If positive, this will trigger the onset of the VITAL-TFR2 Phase 2a trial to assess the role of vididencel to improve TFR rates in patients who failed an earlier TFR attempt. Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative neoplasm originating in hematopoietic stem cells. It is commonly associated with the Philadelphia chromosome translocation, resulting in activation of the BCR::ABL1 oncoprotein, with or without additional mutations in myeloid associated genes that fuel cancer growth in the blood and bone marrow, disrupting the production of healthy blood cells. CML is commonly treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that inhibit the BCR::ABL1 kinase activity. Because these treatments are effective, overall survival of CML patients is similar to that of the general population and attention in the treatment of CML has shifted to quality of life and, ultimately, treatment-free remission (TFR). An estimated number of > 300,000 people live with CML in Europe and the US only, with a global estimate of around 5 million and a prevalence plateau that may reach as many as 10 million people affected by the disease. Vididencel is an off-the-shelf, active immunotherapy designed to stimulate immune control of residual disease and improve disease-fee and overall survival following first-line treatment of tumors with a high recurrence rate including myeloid blood cancers. Vididencel comprises irradiated leukemic-derived dendritic cells that are administered via intradermal injection. Vididencel has demonstrated an excellent safety profile in multiple clinical trials, with temporary local injection site reactions as the main side effect and no serious product-related side effects reported to date. The product is manufactured using a proprietary cell line and a scalable manufacturing process that does not require patient material or genetic engineering. Vididencel has a strong regulatory dossier including an EMA ATMP Manufacturing Certificate, Orphan Drug and Fast Track Designations.공시 • Nov 13+ 1 more updateMendus AB (publ) to Report Fiscal Year 2025 Final Results on Apr 17, 2026Mendus AB (publ) announced that they will report fiscal year 2025 final results at 9:00 AM, Central European Standard Time on Apr 17, 2026공시 • Nov 07Mendus AB (publ), Annual General Meeting, May 08, 2026Mendus AB (publ), Annual General Meeting, May 08, 2026.

Clinical Oncology conference (ASCO 2025) held from May 30 to June 3, 2025, in Chicago, Illinois, from the ongoing ALISON trial with Mendus' lead product vididencel in ovarian cancer. The data demonstrate that stable disease is associated with the successful induction of tumor-directed immune responses following vididencel treatment in this indication. The Phase 1 ALISON trial evaluates safety, efficacy and immunogenicity of vididencel in patients with high-grade mutation agnostic serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). Mendus and academic collaborators from the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) presented data at ASCO 2025 demonstrating that in the majority of patients vididencel treatment resulted in immune responses against one or more tumor antigens frequently upregulated in HGSOC and that these responses were associated with higher stable disease rates. Vididencel was found to be safe and effective, with the intradermal injection-site cutaneous reaction being the principal side effect and no adverse events above grade 2. At week 22 from start of vididencel treatment, 10 patients participating in the ALISON trial had stable disease and 7 had progressive disease, with all patients still alive. Stable disease rates were highest (67%) in patients with vididencel-induced immune responses (VIR) as compared to patients without VIR (40%). Updated survival data until March 2025 showed that 7 patients continued to have stable disease and 10 patients had developed progressive disease at a median follow-up of 19 months, with 10 patients still alive. Stable Disease was associated with vididencel- induced immune responses, with VIR observed in 6 out of 7 of the patients with stable disease. Furthermore, two patients with VIR were reported to have stable disease for more than 3 years. Mendus and UMCG have engaged in a research and clinical development collaboration since 2019. The collaboration comprises the single-center Phase 1 ALISON trial with vididencel in HGSOC and a preclinical research program to develop novel immunotherapies for gynecological cancers, including therapies based on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. Enrolment and week 22 analysis has been completed for all 17 participants of the ALISON trial. Long-term follow-up to assess potential survival benefit of vididencel treatment is ongoing. A next read-out of the trial based on 2-year follow-up is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2025.공시 • May 05Mendus AB (Publ) Announces Chief Medical Officer ChangesMendus AB announced the appointment of Tariq Mughal, MD FRCP FRCPath, as Chief Medical Officer, May 5, 2025.

The data showed that the majority of AML patients treated with vididencel remain alive and disease-free in long-term follow-up, with a median follow-up of 41.8 months. The ADVANCE II Phase 2 trial is an international multi-center Phase 2 trial evaluating vididencel as maintenance treatment for AML patients in first complete remission (CR1) following chemotherapy. Patients participating in the trial were ineligible for HSCT and had measurable residual disease (MRD), which is associated with increased relapse rates. The ADVANCE II trial has completed the active study phase of 70-week follow-up from the start of vididencel treatment and patients are now in long-term follow up. The updated ADVANCE II data presented at ASH show that 13 out of 20 patients treated with vididencel were alive and 11 patients were still in CR1 as of the November 4, 2024 cut-off-date, with a median follow-up of 41.8 months. Median relapse-free (RFS) and overall survival (OS) was not reached, as the majority of patients remained alive and disease-free. All patients had passed 3-year follow-up and 2 patients completed 5-year follow-up. The 1-year survival stood at 88%, 3-year survival at 71% and the estimated 5-year survival was 58%. The only drug approved for post-chemo AML maintenance therapy is oral azacitidine, which in MRD-positive patients led to a median RFS of 7.1 months and a median OS of 14.6 months in the registration trial1. The estimated 3-year OS for the whole treated patient population which included MRD-positive and -negative patients was 37.4% and 5-year OS was 26.5%. Immunomonitoring data from the ADVANCE II trial presented at ASH demonstrated that patients with multiple T cell responses following vididencel treatment (sustained vaccine-induced responses, or sVIR) had a significantly better OS than patients without a sVIR (p=0.036) and a higher number of MRD responses, with 6 our of 9 patients showing MRD clearance or > 10-fold reduction in MRD level. There were also clear differences between patient groups at baseline. Particularly patients with high levels of B cells and low levels of inhibitory T cells showed significantly improved OS (p=0.0109) and the majority of these patients (6 out of 8) demonstrated sVIR following vididencel treatment. The data confirm that vididencel stimulates a broad, active immune response against residual disease, which is associated with improved clinical outcome. In addition to the ADVANCE II Phase 2 trial data in the post-chemotherapy maintenance setting, Mendus presented two abstracts based on preclinical data exploring the use of vididencel in additional patient populations. AML patients ineligible for high-intensity chemotherapy can be treated today with a combination of azacitidine (AZA) and venetoclax (VEN). In vitro data demonstrated that AZA and VEN do not interfere with vididencel’s mode of action and that VEN stimulates the processing of vididencel by antigen-presenting cells. In vivo data confirmed that vididencel and AZA+VEN act synergistically in a humanized mouse model for AML, supporting the clinical exploration of vididencel in AML patients treated with AZA+VEN. The second preclinical abstract addressed the potential use of vididencel in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Data showed that vididencel can stimulate cellular immunity against a CML cell line and investigated the combination potential of vididencel with different tyrosine kinase inhibitor drugs currently used for the treatment of CML. The possibility to improve immunity against residual cancer cells with vididencel addresses the need to improve treatment-free remission rates, allowing CML patients to control their disease without the need for life-long medication.New Risk • Nov 16New major risk - Revenue sizeThe company makes less than US$1m in revenue. Total revenue: kr6.9m (US$632k) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small amount of revenue are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.3% per year for the foreseeable future. Revenue is less than US$1m (kr6.9m revenue, or US$632k). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (kr156m net loss in 3 years).

This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns.

Following positive Phase 2 monotherapy data from the ongoing ADVANCE II trial with vididencel in AML patients with measurable residual disease (MRD), Mendus announced a collaboration with the Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group (ALLG) to expand the clinical development of vididencel in December 2023. Mendus and ALLG will study vididencel as a novel AML maintenance treatment in combination with oral azacitidine (AZA), currently the only approved AML maintenance drug, in a multi-center, randomized controlled Phase 2 trial (AMLM22-CADENCE). In the AMLM22-C ADENCE trial, patients in first complete remission following high-intensity chemotherapy will receive standard treatment with AZA or the combination of AZA + vididencel. Vididencel will be administered as 4 biweekly intradermal injections, followed by 3 booster injections up to 6 months after start of treatment. The first stage of the trial will randomize 40 patients and in the second stage, efficacy of the combination will be assessed in an additional 100 patients. This approach will enable safety evaluations and assessment of the therapy. By the end of 2023, Mendus and ALLG had completed the preparations for the start of the trial, with the CADENCE protocol domain submitted to the Human Research Ethics Committee (H REC) within the ALLG AMLM22 platform. On March 27, 2024, Mendus and ALLG announce that HREC approval was granted, allowing for clinical site initiation and start of enrolment of the trial in April 2024. Based on positive FDA feedback, safety data from the AML22-CADENCE trial can be used for the global registration dossier for vididencel in AML in the second half of 2025, based on trial protocol development and large-scale GMP manufacturing of vididencel.New Risk • Feb 18New major risk - Financial positionThe company has less than a year of cash runway based on its current free cash flow trend.

Mendus reports completion of the long-term follow up of the MERECA trial studying the intratumoral immune primer ilixadencel in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). The long-term follow up data confirmed the observations previously reported, with no significant survival difference between the ilixadencel plus sunitinib treatment arm versus the sunitinib-only control arm of the trial. The final results of the MERECA trial confirm the decision not to pursue mRCC as a possible indication for ilixadencel. Mendus continues to explore the clinical development of ilixadencel in soft tissue sarcomas (STS) in the first half of 2024, versus earlier guidance of starting a trial before 2023YE. Mendus also confirms that the Phase 1 ALISON trial with its cancer maintenance therapy vididencel in ovarian cancer is now fully recruited (17 patients). Mendus had earlier reported initial positive interim data from the ALISON trial, based on the induction of immune responses against tumor antigens previously shown to be relevant for ovarian cancer and confirming a strong safety profile for vididencel in this indication. Mendus expects further read outs of the trial in 2024, including a survival analysis in 2024H2. Mendus recently announced positive data from the Phase 2 ADVANCE II trial with its lead product vididencel in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The data presented on December 11, 2023 at the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting (ASH 2023), demonstrated durable clinical remissions in AML patients diagnosed with measurable residual disease (MRD). As a next step in the development of vididencel in AML, Mendus has announced a collaboration with the Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group (ALLG) to study vididencel in combination with the current standard of care in AML maintenance treatment, oral azacitidine, in a 2-stage, control-arm trial including up to 140 patients.공시 • Dec 14Mendus AB (Publ) Appoints Ted Fjällman as Board MemberMendus AB (publ) announces that Ted Fjällman was elected as new board member for the period until the end of the next annual general meeting.

The longer-term follow up data showed durable treatment responses with survival benefit exceeding historical results expected from the current standard of care in AML maintenance therapy. ADVANCE II is a Phase 2 monotherapy trial evaluating vididencel as a maintenance therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) for patients brought into first complete remission (CR1) through chemotherapy, but with measurable residual disease (MRD). Professor Dr. Arjan van de Loosdrecht, Principal Investigator, presented updated median relapse-free survival (RFS) and median overall survival (OS) data during an oral presentation on December 11 at the ASH 2023 meeting held in San Diego, California December 9-12. Additionally, Mendus and academic collaborators presented two posters at the meeting, featuring immunomonitoring data that supports vididencel's mechanism of action as an immunotherapy which stimulates anti-tumor activity and improves immune control over residual cancer cells. Phase 2 ADVANCE II trial updated survival data: The ADVANCE II monotherapy trial (N=20) previously completed a 70-week follow-up period from the start of vididencel treatment and patients are now in long-term follow up. As of November 24, 2023, the median follow-up for the entire study population was 31.6 months (range: 6.6-60 months). Median RFS stood at 30.4 months and median OS was not reached, with 14/20 patients still alive and 11 still in CR1 at the cut-off date. The RFS at 2 years was 56%, and the estimated 2-year and 3-year OS stood at 74.9% and 64.7%, respectively. The only drug approved for AML maintenance therapy is oral azacitidine, which in MRD positive patients led to a median RFS of 7.1 months versus 2.7 months in the placebo arm and an OS of 14.6 months versus 10.4 months in the placebo arm of the registration trial. Immune responses were measured on blood samples before, during and after treatment with vididencel. Seventeen patients (85%) showed at least one vaccine-induced T-cell response (VIR) against tumor-associated antigens present in vididencel. Patients remaining in CR during treatment had a significantly higher number of VIRs then patients who relapsed and a clear correlation is seen between the number of VIRs and survival. Patients with 3 or more VIRs were all still alive (100% OS) at the cut-off date. Blood samples were additionally analyzed to evaluate changes in immune cells induced by vididencel. Increased frequencies of circulating B-cells and dendritic cells were observed, with the level of dendritic cells at the end of treatment correlating with longer RFS and OS. In depth analysis of skin biopsies of the area where vididencel was injected showed a strong influx of immune cells, indicative of an immune response being triggered. Close interaction was observed between host T-cells and host dendritic cells in the skin as part of the immune priming process following vididencel administration. Patients with an MRD response demonstrated better RFS and OS, with all patients with an MRD response still alive.공시 • Nov 24+ 3 more updatesMendus AB (publ) to Report Q3, 2024 Results on Nov 08, 2024Mendus AB (publ) announced that they will report Q3, 2024 results on Nov 08, 2024공시 • Nov 17+ 1 more updateMendus AB (publ), Annual General Meeting, May 17, 2024Mendus AB (publ), Annual General Meeting, May 17, 2024.공시 • Nov 04Mendus Announces Phase 1 vididencel Clinical Trial Results in AML and High-Risk MDS Patients Published in Peer-Reviewed Medical JournalMendus AB announced the publication of additional Phase 1 clinical trial data on its lead development program vididencel in the peer-reviewed medical journal HemaSphere. The data supports the potential of vididencel as a novel acute myeloid leukemia (AML) maintenance therapy and provides valuable insights for the current and future clinical trials with vididencel in AML and high-risk MDS. The publication, titled “Durable Responses and Survival in High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients Receiving the Allogeneic Leukemia-derived Dendritic Cell Vaccine DCP-001”, and written by researchers from the Amsterdam UMC, Cancer Center Amsterdam and Erasmus University Medical Center, describes the long-term follow up data and additional patient characteristics from the Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating vididencel (DCP-001) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). In the Phase 1 clinical trial 12 patients were treated with vididencel (product ID: DCP-001), six patients with AML, three patients with AML with prior MDS and three patients with MDS with excess of blasts. Seven out of twelve patients showed a response to treatment; five patients showed progression of disease. The main discriminating variables in favor of response were patients who entered the study either in complete remission or who had stable disease status and a low percentage of blasts in the bone marrow at study entry. Importantly, there was no association found between response and disease risk classification with the majority of responding patients having an adverse cytogenetic risk profile, which is highly encouraging given the difficulty in effecting positive outcomes for these patients with a poor prognosis. In the seven responders, a median relapse free survival (RFS) of 420 days (˜ 14 months) and a median overall survival (OS) of 1090 days (˜ 36 months) was observed as compared to a median OS of 144 days in the five non-responders. The longest surviving patient experienced an RFS of 1,849 days (˜ 5 years) and OS of 2,160 days (˜ 5.9 years) after treatment with vididencel. In a subset of three patients, who initially responded to vididencel but later relapsed, post-vaccination treatment with azacitidine was evaluated and resulted in one complete remission and two partial responses. The data suggest that azacitidine and vididencel may act synergistically.공시 • Nov 03Mendus AB (Publ) Announces Multiple Abstracts to Be Presented At Ash 2023 Including Oral Presentation on Advance Ii Survival DataMendus AB (publ) announced the presentation of three abstracts related to the development of Mendus' lead product candidate vididencel in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) at the American Society of Hematology's upcoming 65th Annual Meeting, held in San Diego, California December 9-12, 2023 (ASH 2023).

The data further validate vididencel’s proposed mechanism of action and demonstrate that immune responses triggered by the cell-based cancer vaccine in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and ovarian cancer are largely comparable. This underlines the potential for a broad applicability of vididencel across different cancer types. The corresponding posters will be presented at CICON23 on September 22, and afterward made available on the Company’s website. The first data set presented at CICON compared the immune responses observed in the currently active clinical trials evaluating vididencel, the ADVANCE II Phase 2 study in AML patients in complete remission with measurable residual disease (MRD) and the ALISON Phase 1 study in ovarian cancer patients at a high risk of relapse after debulking surgery and chemotherapy. Vaccine-induced responses (VIR) were observed in 17 out of 20 AML patients and, at this stage, in 6 out of 7 evaluable ovarian cancer patients. These responses were primarily targeting tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) that are expressed by the vididencel product, such as WT-1 and PRAME. Additionally, in ovarian cancer patients the immune response expanded to include a TAA that is overexpressed in cancer cells but not included in vididencel’s antigen repertoir. In the ADVANCE II study, the number of observed VIRs correlated with clinical responses and survival benefits, which cannot yet be determined for the ALISON study. The second data set presented at CICON further examined the mechanism of action of vididencel building on previously disclosed data sets. The data were generated in collaboration with the Department of Tumor Immunology, Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences, at the Radboud University Medical Centre, in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. It was previously shown that upon intradermal administration vididencel is absorbed by skin-resident antigen-presenting cells (APCs), which concomitantly become activated to prime the immune system. In a new in vitro study, Mendus and its collaboration partner further investigated how such an indirect priming mechanisms via APCs can result in the activation of antigen-specific T cells. Vididencel is currently being evaluated in AML and ovarian cancer as a potential maintenance therapy to reduce or prevent tumor recurrence. Vididencel is an off-the-shelf, intradermal vaccine derived from the Company’s proprietary DCOne leukemic cell line. In December 2022, the Company presented positive results from the ADVANCE II study in AML at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. The analysis demonstrated the potential of vididencel to control MRD and induce durable relapse-free survival in the majority of patients. Mendus expects to present a next survival update in the fourth quarter of 2023. Additionally, Mendus anticipates starting a new Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the combination of vididencel with oral azacitidine, currently the only approved drug in AML maintenance, in H2 2023, as a step-up to pivotal-stage development.공시 • Sep 08Mendus AB Receives U.S. FDA Fast Track Designation forididencel in Acute Myeloid LeukemiaMendus AB announced that it has received Fast Track Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Company's lead program, vididencel, for the treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in complete remission with residual disease. Advantages of the Fast Track Designation include close and early interactions with the FDA to support accelerated approval, as well as the possibility of a "rolling review" for a subsequent market application. The FDA's decision was based on the previously communicated results from the ADVANCE II clinical trial, which delivered promising survival read-outs and underpinned the safety of vididencel as a monotherapy in AML. Vididencel had already been assigned Orphan Drug Designation for treatment of AML in the US and Europe. Additionally, Mendus had recently been granted an Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product (ATMP) certificate by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) following a review of manufacturing quality and non-clinical data for its lead pipeline program vididencel.ididencel is currently being evaluated in AML and ovarian cancer as a potential maintenance therapy to reduce or prevent tumor recurrence.

Trailing 12-month net loss: kr141m Forecast net loss in 2 years: kr8.5m This is considered a minor risk. Companies that are not profitable are more likely to be burning through cash and less likely to be well established. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (97% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (333% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m (kr1.4m revenue, or US$125k). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (kr8.5m net loss in 2 years). Market cap is less than US$100m (€22.7m market cap, or US$24.6m).Breakeven Date Change • Aug 29Forecast breakeven date pushed back to 2025The 2 analysts covering Mendus previously expected the company to break even in 2024. New consensus forecast suggests losses will reduce by 0.5% per year to 2024. The company is expected to make a profit of kr385.0m in 2025. Average annual earnings growth of 70% is required to achieve expected profit on schedule.New Risk • Aug 07New major risk - Shareholder dilutionThe company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 239% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (41% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (239% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m (kr1.4m revenue, or US$129k).

The data demonstrate that vididencel treatment led to increased levels of activated, cancer-killing T cells and reduced levels of inhibitory, immune-suppressive T cells in the majority of patients. Patients with an MRD response, the primary endpoint of the study, had the highest levels of these functional tumor antigen-specific T cells and showed a trend towards higher levels of circulating antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and B cells following vididencel treatment. Altogether, the data provides a clear proof of the mechanism of action of Mendus' lead development program. At the time of the data cut for EHA 2023, analysis of circulating immune cells had been performed in 20 evaluable AML patients to investigate the immune system activation induced upon treatment with vididencel. Functional T-cell analysis showed vaccine induced responses (VIRs) to antigens present in vididencel in 17 out of 20 patients, with highest number of VIRs in MRD responders, providing a positive correlation of VIRs with clinical outcomes. Analysis of individual immune cell populations showed changes in both the innate and adaptive immune cell compartments, with higher levels of tumor-reactive T cells and reduced numbers of inhibiting LAG3-expressing T-cells measured in circulation.공시 • Jun 09Mendus AB (publ) announced that it expects to receive funding from Flerie Invest ABMendus AB (publ) announced a round of funding on June 8, 2023.

ADVANCE II is a Phase 2 monotherapy trial evaluating DCP-001 as a maintenance therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) for patients brought into complete remission through chemotherapy, but with measurable residual disease (MRD). The ADVANCE II trial has completed the 70-week follow-up period after start of DCP-001 treatment, and patients are now in long-term follow up. Median follow-up for the entire study population at the data cut-off for ASH on 22nd of November was 19.4 months. Median relapse-free survival (RFS) was not yet reached, with 12 out of 20 patients still in complete remission, ranging from 16 to 47 months after start of treatment. Median overall survival (OS) currently stands at 30.9 months. The only drug approved for AML maintenance therapy is oral azacitidine, which in MRD positive patients led to a median relapse free survival (RFS) of 7.1 months versus 2.7 months in the placebo arm and an overall survival (OS) of 14.6 months versus 10.4 months in the placebo arm of the registration trial. Increased immune responses against tumor-associated antigens were seen in 17 out of 20 patients following DCP-001 administration, with a significantly higher number of immune responses observed in patients with an MRD response. As reported earlier, treatment with DCP-001 resulted in an MRD response in 7 out of 20 evaluable patients, with 5 patients converting to MRD negativity and 2 patients with a decline in MRD of at least 10-fold. Patients converting to MRD negativity following DCP-001 treatment continue to have a significantly better overall survival, with all still being alive to date. Longer-term follow up confirms the excellent safety profile of DCP-001, with no drug-related serious adverse events reported and injection-site reactions as the most common drug-related adverse events.Breakeven Date Change • Nov 16Forecast to breakeven in 2023The 2 analysts covering Mendus expect the company to break even for the first time.

The initial data demonstrates that DCP-001 was safe and well-tolerated, confirming the benign safety profile of DCP-001 observed in multiple completed and ongoing clinical trials. This supports its suitability as a maintenance therapy and justifies continued development of this novel immunotherapy concept in ovarian cancer, the deadliest gynaecological cancer due to its high recurrence rate. The presentation at the ESGO Congress will also include new preclinical data demonstrating the synergistic effects of combining DCP-001 vaccination with intratumoral immune priming. This novel therapeutic strategy of combining local and systemic intervention benefits from Mendus’ unique expertise in both areas and resulted in a very potent suppression of tumor growth, including complete tumor regressions in a humanized mouse model for ovarian cancer.공시 • Jul 14Mendus AB (Publ) Publishes Preclinical Data Demonstrating Significant Anti-Tumor Synergies of Intratumoral Immune Priming with CTLA-4 InhibitionMendus AB announced the publication of in vivo data demonstrating significant anti-tumor synergies between the Company’s allogeneic dendritic cell-based immune primer program ilixadencel and immune checkpoint inhibition via CTLA-4 blockade in the peer-reviewed journal OncoImmunology. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is an inhibitory checkpoint receptor and blocking has the potential to release the "brakes" on patients' endogenous immune systems. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first anti CTLA-4 antibody, ipilimumab (Yervoy®), for the treatment of late-stage melanoma in 2011 and several CTLA-4 targeting programs are in clinical development today. Despite achieving durable responses and improved overall survival using CTLA-4 blockade in many patients, it is estimated that up to 80% still do not respond possibly attributed to a lack of pre-existing immunity. Mendus’ current generation immune primer, ilixadencel, has been evaluated in a broad range of tumors and has demonstrated an excellent safety profile across all studies with encouraging signs of efficacy when combined with other treatment modalities including checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab and kinase inhibitors. In the preclinical study published today, mice were transplanted subcutaneously with CT-26 colorectal cancer cells and were subsequently treated with an intratumoral injection of ilixadencel, an intravenously given antagonistic anti-CTLA-4 antibody, a combination of both or placebo. Neither ilixadencel, nor anti-CTLA-4 treatment alone affected tumor progression or prolonged survival significantly. However, combined treatment with ilixadencel and anti-CTLA-4 significantly delayed tumor progression and led to tumor remission with 7 out of 10 mice surviving longer than 70 days with no detectable tumor. All surviving mice were subsequently re-challenged with CT-26 cells and all mice rejected the newly inoculated tumors compared to the control mice, where none rejected the reintroduced CT-26 cells, indicating the establishment of an immunological memory response. Several findings of the study demonstrated a profound remodeling of the initially immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment following the combined use of ilixadencel and the anti-CTLA-4 inhibitor. Changes to the TME were visible in gene set analyses of significant pathway signatures including upregulated pathways that affect the myeloid compartment, antigen presentation, the lymphoid compartment, and cytokines/chemokine regulation. On a cellular level, changes in the combination arm included intratumoral infiltration of immune cells with anti-cancer features, including host dendritic cells with high antigen-presenting capacity and activation phenotypes, macrophages with M1-like phenotype, activated neutrophils and inflammatory monocytes. Combined, these changes led to a suitable TME for the expansion of CD8+ tissue-resident memory T cells which was positively correlated with elevated potential tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells in the tumor and “tumor-matching” CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood. Moreover, splenocytes from mice in the combination treatment group secreted significantly higher IFN-? upon stimulation with a CT-26-derived model neoantigen, confirming the induction of a tumor-specific CD8+ T-cell response. Depletion of CD8+ T cells totally abolished the therapeutic benefit.공시 • May 16Immunicum AB (publ) Announces Positive Interim Results from ADVANCE II Study in AML Maintenance TreatmentImmunicum AB (publ) announced updated interim results from the ongoing ADVANCE II clinical trial evaluating the company’s lead development program DCP-001, a novel therapeutic option for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) maintenance therapy in patients with measurable residual disease (MRD). The analysis demonstrates the therapeutic potential of DCP-001 to control MRD based on the complete read-out of all 20 evaluable patients. In addition, the interim survival data provides for a first strong indication on how the effects of DCP-001 vaccination observed on MRD translate into relapse-free and overall survival benefits for this patient population. The previously reported clean safety and tolerability profile of DCP-001 was confirmed. The international, multi center, open-label Phase II study ADVANCE II enrolled AML patients in complete remission (CR) following chemotherapy induction, but who remained MRD positive and were therefore deemed to be at elevated risk of relapse. Patients in the ADVANCE II trial were divided into two cohorts of 10 patients each, administered with two different dose levels of DCP-001, 25 and 50 million cells/vaccination. Patients in each cohort received four biweekly doses of DCP-001, followed by additional booster administrations at weeks 14 and 18. MRD responses were recorded at 14, 20, and 32 weeks and patients were followed for up to 70 weeks after first administration. Median follow up of patients at the cut-off date for the interim analysis was 14.3 months. The primary endpoint of the study is MRD response, and the secondary endpoints of relapse free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS).공시 • May 05+ 1 more updateImmunicum AB Presents Preclinical Data Demonstrating Synergy of Dcp-001 with Standard Treatments for Acute Myeloid LeukemiaImmunicum AB announced the publication of a scientific abstract for an upcoming poster presentation at the 20th Cancer Immunotherapy (CIMT) Annual Meeting, being held from May 10-12, 2022. The abstract discloses new preclinical data on DCP-001, Immunicum’s lead clinical candidate, in combination with 5’-azacitidine (5-AZA), a hypomethylating agent, and venetoclax (VEN), a BCL2 inhibitor, in a preclinical setting. The in vivo and in vitro data support the evaluation of DCP-001 as a potential combination therapy with 5-AZA+VEN in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and related hematological malignancies and demonstrated stronger tumor volume reduction in combination than either vaccination or drug treatment alone. DCP-001 is a cell-based cancer vaccine generated by differentiation and maturation of Immunicum’s proprietary human DCOne myeloid leukemic cell line into a mature dendritic cell phenotype. This results in a vaccine comprising a broad array of endogenous tumor-associated antigens combined with a mature dendritic cell costimulatory profile. Preclinical studies suggest that upon intradermal vaccination, DCP-001 is phagocytosed by local and recruited antigen-presenting cells (APC), resulting their activation and migration to the draining lymph nodes to (re)activate tumor-reactive T-cells. In clinical studies, intradermal DCP-001 vaccination has been shown to be safe and feasible as a post-remission therapy in AML. Importantly, immunomonitoring confirmed that DCP-001 vaccination resulted in anti-tumor immune responses that correlated with long-term survival. To evaluate a potential combination of DCP-001 vaccination with 5-AZA + VEN in a preclinical setting, a humanized mouse model for AML was used. Mice were randomized and assigned to four groups: untreated control, vaccination alone, treatment with 5-AZA + VEN alone, and combination. The mean tumor volume 6 weeks after therapy initiation was significantly reduced in the combination group (181.8 ± 29 mm3) as compared to control (522 ± 97.5 mm3), but also vaccination (326.9 ± 54.6 mm3) or drug treatment alone (293.8 ± 29 mm3). Additional in vitro studies detected no negative impact of 5-AZA + VEN on the viability, recovery or phenotype of DCP-001. Moreover, no influence of either 5-AZA or VEN was observed on the ability of DCP-001 to stimulate proliferation of allogeneic peripheral blood lymphocytes or on the ability of allogeneic monocyte-derived immature dendritic cells to endocytose DCP-001-derived cellular content, a key component of the mechanism-of-action.Board Change • Apr 27High number of new and inexperienced directorsThere are 9 new directors who have joined the board in the last 3 years.

The Phase II data demonstrate the ability of DCP-001 to convert or significantly reduce detectable minimal residual disease (MRD) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, with fully converted patients demonstrating greater overall survival. The results of the trial also reinforced data from a preceding Phase I trial demonstrating intradermal injection of DCP-001 to be generally well-tolerated. The Phase II study enrolled twenty-six AML patients in complete remission (CR) following chemotherapy induction, but who remained MRD positive and were therefore deemed to be at elevated risk of relapse. Of twenty patients with evaluable MRD levels post-vaccination, six demonstrated a measurable improvement in MRD status with four of those patients converting from MRD positive to MRD negative, and two patients achieving a substantial reduction in MRD throughout the course of the trial. Patients who converted from MRD positive to MRD negative over the course of the trial were observed to have improved survival over those not having fully converted. An additional seven patients remained in CR with stable MRD levels and only six patients encountered relapse. Intradermal injections of DCP-001 were well tolerated, with only limited drug related side effects. No serious adverse events were reported in conjunction with DCP-001. Patients in the ADVANCE II trial were divided into two cohorts, with each administered a different dose level of DCP-001 biweekly for four times, followed by additional booster administrations at weeks 14 and 18. MRD responses were recorded at 14, 20, and 32 weeks and patients were followed for up to 70 weeks after first administration. Median follow up of patients was 389 and 224 days for the two dose cohorts respectively. The primary endpoint of the study is MRD response, and the projected secondary endpoints of relapse free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) are still to be evaluated. The trial is continuing follow-up on patients to assess MRD responses over time and to assess relapse free (RFS) and overall (OS) survival.Breakeven Date Change • Dec 07Forecast to breakeven in 2023The 2 analysts covering Immunicum expect the company to break even for the first time.

All subjects in the Phase Ib portion have completed the initial follow-up period for safety and response evaluation, with a positive safety review by the Data Safety Monitoring Board reported last July. Responses to treatment were observed in patients previously treated with CPIs and not in CPI-naive patients. As the latter was the intended patient population for the Phase II part of the study, the company has made the determination to close the study at this stage and not proceed with the Phase II portion. The Phase Ib ILIAD combination trial included cancer patients eligible for pembrolizumab therapy based on its approved label by the FDA. A total of twenty-one subjects were enrolled: ten of those with types head- and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), six with melanoma, two with gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJAC), one with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), one with uterine carcinoma and one with cervical cancer. All patients treated within this study suffered from advanced stage disease and were heavily pre-treated with several lines of treatment. A total of sixteen patients were enrolled that had prior exposure to pembrolizumab and progressed on this checkpoint inhibitor, and five patients were enrolled without any prior exposure to pembrolizumab. Among the ten HNSCC patients enrolled, a partial response was observed in two, with those two having been among a subgroup of six patients that tested negative for human papilloma virus (HPV) and had prior pembrolizumab exposure. Additionally, stable disease was observed in four subjects with prior pembrolizumab exposure. Of those stable disease subjects, one had HNSCC, one had melanoma, one had NSCLC and one had GEJAC. Observed responses in the CPI pre-treated patients will be further evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Of the five patients that were enrolled in the Phase Ib portion of the ILIAD study without any prior exposure to pembrolizumab, none had any observable response. As previously reported, no dose-limiting toxicities were observed in the ILIAD study, up to the highest dose of 20 million cells per injection, and no adverse events were reported which were life-threatening or led to death. Only two severe adverse events (grade 3) related to ilixadencel were reported, which were injection-related reactions. All other reported adverse events related to ilixadencel were mild to moderate.공시 • Nov 22Immunicum AB Publishes DCP-001 Mechanism of Action in the Journal CellsImmunicum AB announced that the publication of a scientific journal article describing the mechanism of action for its cell-based cancer relapse vaccine DCP-001. The publication in the peer-reviewed journal Cells details the interaction between DCP-001 and antigen-presenting cells and the cellular pathways involved. The study supports a mechanism of action whereby transfer of antigenic material, including tumor-associated antigens, and activation of the patient’s own antigen-presenting cells upon injection of DCP-001 in the skin leads to the induction of immune responses against tumor cells. The proposed mechanism of action supports the development of DCP-001 as an allogeneic, off-the-shelf product which activates the patient’s own immune system, with an excellent safety profile and with relative ease of administration via intradermal injection, not requiring lymphodepletion or other preconditioning. Immunicum conducted the study in collaboration with leading immunology researchers at the Amsterdam University Medical Center and Northeastern University in Boston. The data published in Cells show that DCP-001 exchanges its cellular content with antigen-presenting cells via a phagocytosis process, in which phosphatidylserine plays an important role and which is further enhanced by the blocking of CD47. The study included an ex vivo model for intradermal injection using human skin tissue samples. Following intradermal injection, DCP-001 initiates the activation of skin-resident alloreactive T-cells, causing local inflammation and attraction of host dendritic cells. DCP-001 is digested by the attracted DCs, resulting in a transfer of tumor-associated antigens, which in turn leads to the migration of the patient's own DCs toward draining lymph nodes to initiate the tumor-specific T-cell priming process. The described mechanism of action supports the promising characteristics of DCP-001 as a cancer relapse vaccine providing active immunization and durable anti-tumor immune response aiming to reduce tumor recurrence.공시 • Jun 24Immunicum Announces Enrollment of First Patient in Phase I ALISON Study Evaluating Cancer Relapse Vaccine Candidate DCP-001 in Ovarian CancerImmunicum AB (publ) announced that the first patient has been enrolled in the Phase I ALISON clinical study evaluating DCP-001, the Company’s lead cancer relapse vaccine candidate, in High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (HGSOC) patients following primary standard of care treatment. The ALISON study is carried out by Professor Hans Nijman and his research group in Groningen, the Netherlands, and investigates the ability of DCP-001 to trigger the immune system to control cancer cells that may have remained in the body after surgery and treatment with chemotherapy in order to prevent or reduce tumor reccurence. This is the first study using Immunicum’s cancer relapse vaccine approach to target a solid tumor indication and will evaluate the safety, feasibility and immunogenicity of DCP-001. The Phase I ALISON study is a single-center, open-label study evaluating safety and efficacy of DCP-001 in High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (HGSOC) patients. HGSOC is a unique type of epithelial cancer that is characterized by the loss of function of the tumor suppressor protein, p53, which can lead to chemotherapy resistance and disease relapse. The vaccination regimen with DCP-001 will be scheduled after standard of care treatment, which includes chemotherapy either before or after debulking surgery, and will start 6 weeks following the last cycle of chemotherapy. Patients will receive 4 bi-weekly vaccinations with 25 million cells per DCP-001 vaccination and 2 additional booster vaccinations with 10 million cells per vaccination. Patient follow-ups will be conducted for 24 months. The primary endpoint of the study is change from baseline of DCP-001 vaccine antigen-specific T cells in peripheral blood after treatment. Key secondary endpoints include safety and tolerability after repeated DCP-001 dosing as well as recurrence free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) during the follow-up period.Recent Insider Transactions • Jun 22Chief Executive Officer recently bought €241k worth of stockOn the 17th of June, Erik Manting bought around 534k shares on-market at roughly €0.45 per share.

The presentations cover updated preclinical data on the combination of ilixadencel with a checkpoint inhibitor targeting CTLA4 and new preclinical data on the mechanism of action of DCP-001 and its combination with the emerging immunotherapy target CD47. The data covered in the ilixadencel abstract published by the conference extends data from previous preclinical experiments of ilixadencel in combination with an anti-CTLA4 checkpoint inhibitor in a CT26 colon carcinoma animal model, which demonstrated that the combination of ilixadencel and anti-CTLA4 led to complete eradication of tumors in 50-80% of the treated animals. These effects were mainly driven by CD8+ T cells and, in the new data to be presented at CIMT, characterization of CD8+ T cells from blood samples confirmed that the combination of ilixadencel and anti-CTLA4 therapy increased the frequency of CD8+ T cells with the specific markers NKG2D, CX3CR1 and CD39. These markers indicate a crucial population related to tumor-infiltrating cells with a ‘tumor-matched’ phenotype that is able to attack cancer cells. For the abstract covering DCP-001, new preclinical data elucidate the mechanism of action through which DCP-001 can induce specific anti-tumor immunity in patients’ immune cells. The preclinical evaluation of DCP-001 mixed with the host immune cells, called peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), shows the induction of the production of various pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines by these PBMCs. In addition, DCP-001 was efficiently taken up by immature monocyte-derived dendritic cells, and the blockade of the “don’t eat me” signal and emerging immunotherapy target CD47 enhanced the uptake of DCP-001. These results suggest a vital role for the patient’s immune cells in triggering the immune response upon DCP-001 vaccination and support the clinical rationale for further combination therapies including CD47 inhibitors.공시 • Mar 17+ 1 more updateImmunicum AB (Publ) Announces Updated Executive Management Team After Business CombinationImmunicum AB announced the establishment of an updated executive management team following the initial integration period of the business combination with DCprime that was completed in December 2020.

The COMP opinion was based on results from the Phase I/II clinical trial in GIST, a rare and difficult-to treat cancer indication belonging to the group of cancers referred to as soft tissue sarcomas (STS). To qualify for Orphan Designation in the EU, an investigational medicine must be intended to treat a seriously debilitating or life-threatening condition that affects fewer than five in 10,000 people in the EU and there must be sufficient data to suggest the investigational medicine may produce clinically relevant outcomes. Applications for orphan designation are examined by the EMA’s COMP, which adopts an opinion that is forwarded to the European Commission. The European Commission’s decision follows a few weeks after the COMP opinion is issued. Orphan drug designation provides companies with certain benefits and incentives, including ten years of market exclusivity upon marketing authorization, clinical protocol assistance, access to a centralized marketing authorization procedure and reduced regulatory fees.Executive Departure • Feb 03Independent Chairman Michael S.

공시 • Apr 22Mendus AB Announces First Patient Enrolled in the Vital-Cml TrialMendus AB announced that the first patient has been enrolled in the VITAL-CML trial, which evaluates Mendus’ lead product vididencel in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Following recent regulatory approval, the first patient has now been enrolled into the company-sponsored phase 1b trial. The VITAL-CML trial is led by Prof Dr Bjørn Tore Gjertsen (University of Bergen and Haukeland University Hospital, Norway) and evaluates vididencel in chronic phase CML patients with a sub-optimal response to currently approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The VITAL-CML trial will recruit up to 24 patients, with initial topline safety and early molecular response data based on the first 8 patients treated expected in the second half of 2026. If positive, this will trigger the onset of the VITAL-TFR2 Phase 2a trial to assess the role of vididencel to improve TFR rates in patients who failed an earlier TFR attempt. Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative neoplasm originating in hematopoietic stem cells. It is commonly associated with the Philadelphia chromosome translocation, resulting in activation of the BCR::ABL1 oncoprotein, with or without additional mutations in myeloid associated genes that fuel cancer growth in the blood and bone marrow, disrupting the production of healthy blood cells. CML is commonly treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that inhibit the BCR::ABL1 kinase activity. Because these treatments are effective, overall survival of CML patients is similar to that of the general population and attention in the treatment of CML has shifted to quality of life and, ultimately, treatment-free remission (TFR). An estimated number of > 300,000 people live with CML in Europe and the US only, with a global estimate of around 5 million and a prevalence plateau that may reach as many as 10 million people affected by the disease. Vididencel is an off-the-shelf, active immunotherapy designed to stimulate immune control of residual disease and improve disease-fee and overall survival following first-line treatment of tumors with a high recurrence rate including myeloid blood cancers. Vididencel comprises irradiated leukemic-derived dendritic cells that are administered via intradermal injection. Vididencel has demonstrated an excellent safety profile in multiple clinical trials, with temporary local injection site reactions as the main side effect and no serious product-related side effects reported to date. The product is manufactured using a proprietary cell line and a scalable manufacturing process that does not require patient material or genetic engineering. Vididencel has a strong regulatory dossier including an EMA ATMP Manufacturing Certificate, Orphan Drug and Fast Track Designations.

공시 • Jun 03Mendus AB's Alison Trial Data Presented At ASCO 2025 Demonstrates Successful Induction of Tumor-Directed Immune Responses in High-Risk Ovarian CancerMendus AB announced a summary of the data presented at the 61 Annual American Society of st. Clinical Oncology conference (ASCO 2025) held from May 30 to June 3, 2025, in Chicago, Illinois, from the ongoing ALISON trial with Mendus' lead product vididencel in ovarian cancer. The data demonstrate that stable disease is associated with the successful induction of tumor-directed immune responses following vididencel treatment in this indication. The Phase 1 ALISON trial evaluates safety, efficacy and immunogenicity of vididencel in patients with high-grade mutation agnostic serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). Mendus and academic collaborators from the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) presented data at ASCO 2025 demonstrating that in the majority of patients vididencel treatment resulted in immune responses against one or more tumor antigens frequently upregulated in HGSOC and that these responses were associated with higher stable disease rates. Vididencel was found to be safe and effective, with the intradermal injection-site cutaneous reaction being the principal side effect and no adverse events above grade 2. At week 22 from start of vididencel treatment, 10 patients participating in the ALISON trial had stable disease and 7 had progressive disease, with all patients still alive. Stable disease rates were highest (67%) in patients with vididencel-induced immune responses (VIR) as compared to patients without VIR (40%). Updated survival data until March 2025 showed that 7 patients continued to have stable disease and 10 patients had developed progressive disease at a median follow-up of 19 months, with 10 patients still alive. Stable Disease was associated with vididencel- induced immune responses, with VIR observed in 6 out of 7 of the patients with stable disease. Furthermore, two patients with VIR were reported to have stable disease for more than 3 years. Mendus and UMCG have engaged in a research and clinical development collaboration since 2019. The collaboration comprises the single-center Phase 1 ALISON trial with vididencel in HGSOC and a preclinical research program to develop novel immunotherapies for gynecological cancers, including therapies based on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. Enrolment and week 22 analysis has been completed for all 17 participants of the ALISON trial. Long-term follow-up to assess potential survival benefit of vididencel treatment is ongoing. A next read-out of the trial based on 2-year follow-up is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2025.

공시 • Dec 09Mendus AB Presents Positive Survival Data from the Ongoing Advance II Phase 2 Trial at the ASH 2024 ConferenceMendus AB announced that it has presented positive survival data from the ongoing ADVANCE II Phase 2 trial at the ASH 2024 conference. The data showed that the majority of AML patients treated with vididencel remain alive and disease-free in long-term follow-up, with a median follow-up of 41.8 months. The ADVANCE II Phase 2 trial is an international multi-center Phase 2 trial evaluating vididencel as maintenance treatment for AML patients in first complete remission (CR1) following chemotherapy. Patients participating in the trial were ineligible for HSCT and had measurable residual disease (MRD), which is associated with increased relapse rates. The ADVANCE II trial has completed the active study phase of 70-week follow-up from the start of vididencel treatment and patients are now in long-term follow up. The updated ADVANCE II data presented at ASH show that 13 out of 20 patients treated with vididencel were alive and 11 patients were still in CR1 as of the November 4, 2024 cut-off-date, with a median follow-up of 41.8 months. Median relapse-free (RFS) and overall survival (OS) was not reached, as the majority of patients remained alive and disease-free. All patients had passed 3-year follow-up and 2 patients completed 5-year follow-up. The 1-year survival stood at 88%, 3-year survival at 71% and the estimated 5-year survival was 58%. The only drug approved for post-chemo AML maintenance therapy is oral azacitidine, which in MRD-positive patients led to a median RFS of 7.1 months and a median OS of 14.6 months in the registration trial1. The estimated 3-year OS for the whole treated patient population which included MRD-positive and -negative patients was 37.4% and 5-year OS was 26.5%. Immunomonitoring data from the ADVANCE II trial presented at ASH demonstrated that patients with multiple T cell responses following vididencel treatment (sustained vaccine-induced responses, or sVIR) had a significantly better OS than patients without a sVIR (p=0.036) and a higher number of MRD responses, with 6 our of 9 patients showing MRD clearance or > 10-fold reduction in MRD level. There were also clear differences between patient groups at baseline. Particularly patients with high levels of B cells and low levels of inhibitory T cells showed significantly improved OS (p=0.0109) and the majority of these patients (6 out of 8) demonstrated sVIR following vididencel treatment. The data confirm that vididencel stimulates a broad, active immune response against residual disease, which is associated with improved clinical outcome. In addition to the ADVANCE II Phase 2 trial data in the post-chemotherapy maintenance setting, Mendus presented two abstracts based on preclinical data exploring the use of vididencel in additional patient populations. AML patients ineligible for high-intensity chemotherapy can be treated today with a combination of azacitidine (AZA) and venetoclax (VEN). In vitro data demonstrated that AZA and VEN do not interfere with vididencel’s mode of action and that VEN stimulates the processing of vididencel by antigen-presenting cells. In vivo data confirmed that vididencel and AZA+VEN act synergistically in a humanized mouse model for AML, supporting the clinical exploration of vididencel in AML patients treated with AZA+VEN. The second preclinical abstract addressed the potential use of vididencel in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Data showed that vididencel can stimulate cellular immunity against a CML cell line and investigated the combination potential of vididencel with different tyrosine kinase inhibitor drugs currently used for the treatment of CML. The possibility to improve immunity against residual cancer cells with vididencel addresses the need to improve treatment-free remission rates, allowing CML patients to control their disease without the need for life-long medication.
New Risk • Nov 16New major risk - Revenue sizeThe company makes less than US$1m in revenue. Total revenue: kr6.9m (US$632k) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small amount of revenue are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.3% per year for the foreseeable future. Revenue is less than US$1m (kr6.9m revenue, or US$632k). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (kr156m net loss in 3 years).

New Risk • Oct 25New major risk - Revenue and earnings growthEarnings are forecast to decline by an average of 2.8% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 2.8% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on current free cash flow (-kr178m). Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (kr153m net loss in 3 years).

Following positive Phase 2 monotherapy data from the ongoing ADVANCE II trial with vididencel in AML patients with measurable residual disease (MRD), Mendus announced a collaboration with the Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group (ALLG) to expand the clinical development of vididencel in December 2023. Mendus and ALLG will study vididencel as a novel AML maintenance treatment in combination with oral azacitidine (AZA), currently the only approved AML maintenance drug, in a multi-center, randomized controlled Phase 2 trial (AMLM22-CADENCE). In the AMLM22-C ADENCE trial, patients in first complete remission following high-intensity chemotherapy will receive standard treatment with AZA or the combination of AZA + vididencel. Vididencel will be administered as 4 biweekly intradermal injections, followed by 3 booster injections up to 6 months after start of treatment. The first stage of the trial will randomize 40 patients and in the second stage, efficacy of the combination will be assessed in an additional 100 patients. This approach will enable safety evaluations and assessment of the therapy. By the end of 2023, Mendus and ALLG had completed the preparations for the start of the trial, with the CADENCE protocol domain submitted to the Human Research Ethics Committee (H REC) within the ALLG AMLM22 platform. On March 27, 2024, Mendus and ALLG announce that HREC approval was granted, allowing for clinical site initiation and start of enrolment of the trial in April 2024. Based on positive FDA feedback, safety data from the AML22-CADENCE trial can be used for the global registration dossier for vididencel in AML in the second half of 2025, based on trial protocol development and large-scale GMP manufacturing of vididencel.

공시 • Dec 22Mendus AB (Publ) Announces Clinical Pipeline UpdateMendus AB announced an update on the status and outlook of its clinical pipeline programs. Mendus reports completion of the long-term follow up of the MERECA trial studying the intratumoral immune primer ilixadencel in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). The long-term follow up data confirmed the observations previously reported, with no significant survival difference between the ilixadencel plus sunitinib treatment arm versus the sunitinib-only control arm of the trial. The final results of the MERECA trial confirm the decision not to pursue mRCC as a possible indication for ilixadencel. Mendus continues to explore the clinical development of ilixadencel in soft tissue sarcomas (STS) in the first half of 2024, versus earlier guidance of starting a trial before 2023YE. Mendus also confirms that the Phase 1 ALISON trial with its cancer maintenance therapy vididencel in ovarian cancer is now fully recruited (17 patients). Mendus had earlier reported initial positive interim data from the ALISON trial, based on the induction of immune responses against tumor antigens previously shown to be relevant for ovarian cancer and confirming a strong safety profile for vididencel in this indication. Mendus expects further read outs of the trial in 2024, including a survival analysis in 2024H2. Mendus recently announced positive data from the Phase 2 ADVANCE II trial with its lead product vididencel in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The data presented on December 11, 2023 at the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting (ASH 2023), demonstrated durable clinical remissions in AML patients diagnosed with measurable residual disease (MRD). As a next step in the development of vididencel in AML, Mendus has announced a collaboration with the Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group (ALLG) to study vididencel in combination with the current standard of care in AML maintenance treatment, oral azacitidine, in a 2-stage, control-arm trial including up to 140 patients.

공시 • Dec 12Mendus AB Announces Positive Survival Data from Phase 2 Advance II Trial Evaluating Vididencel as Maintenance Therapy for AML at ASH 2023Mendus AB announced positive updated survival data from the Phase 2 ADVANCE II trial evaluating vididencel (DCP-001) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) at the American Society of Hematology's 65th Annual Meeting (ASH 2023). The longer-term follow up data showed durable treatment responses with survival benefit exceeding historical results expected from the current standard of care in AML maintenance therapy. ADVANCE II is a Phase 2 monotherapy trial evaluating vididencel as a maintenance therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) for patients brought into first complete remission (CR1) through chemotherapy, but with measurable residual disease (MRD). Professor Dr. Arjan van de Loosdrecht, Principal Investigator, presented updated median relapse-free survival (RFS) and median overall survival (OS) data during an oral presentation on December 11 at the ASH 2023 meeting held in San Diego, California December 9-12. Additionally, Mendus and academic collaborators presented two posters at the meeting, featuring immunomonitoring data that supports vididencel's mechanism of action as an immunotherapy which stimulates anti-tumor activity and improves immune control over residual cancer cells. Phase 2 ADVANCE II trial updated survival data: The ADVANCE II monotherapy trial (N=20) previously completed a 70-week follow-up period from the start of vididencel treatment and patients are now in long-term follow up. As of November 24, 2023, the median follow-up for the entire study population was 31.6 months (range: 6.6-60 months). Median RFS stood at 30.4 months and median OS was not reached, with 14/20 patients still alive and 11 still in CR1 at the cut-off date. The RFS at 2 years was 56%, and the estimated 2-year and 3-year OS stood at 74.9% and 64.7%, respectively. The only drug approved for AML maintenance therapy is oral azacitidine, which in MRD positive patients led to a median RFS of 7.1 months versus 2.7 months in the placebo arm and an OS of 14.6 months versus 10.4 months in the placebo arm of the registration trial. Immune responses were measured on blood samples before, during and after treatment with vididencel. Seventeen patients (85%) showed at least one vaccine-induced T-cell response (VIR) against tumor-associated antigens present in vididencel. Patients remaining in CR during treatment had a significantly higher number of VIRs then patients who relapsed and a clear correlation is seen between the number of VIRs and survival. Patients with 3 or more VIRs were all still alive (100% OS) at the cut-off date. Blood samples were additionally analyzed to evaluate changes in immune cells induced by vididencel. Increased frequencies of circulating B-cells and dendritic cells were observed, with the level of dendritic cells at the end of treatment correlating with longer RFS and OS. In depth analysis of skin biopsies of the area where vididencel was injected showed a strong influx of immune cells, indicative of an immune response being triggered. Close interaction was observed between host T-cells and host dendritic cells in the skin as part of the immune priming process following vididencel administration. Patients with an MRD response demonstrated better RFS and OS, with all patients with an MRD response still alive.

The data supports the potential of vididencel as a novel acute myeloid leukemia (AML) maintenance therapy and provides valuable insights for the current and future clinical trials with vididencel in AML and high-risk MDS. The publication, titled “Durable Responses and Survival in High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients Receiving the Allogeneic Leukemia-derived Dendritic Cell Vaccine DCP-001”, and written by researchers from the Amsterdam UMC, Cancer Center Amsterdam and Erasmus University Medical Center, describes the long-term follow up data and additional patient characteristics from the Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating vididencel (DCP-001) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). In the Phase 1 clinical trial 12 patients were treated with vididencel (product ID: DCP-001), six patients with AML, three patients with AML with prior MDS and three patients with MDS with excess of blasts. Seven out of twelve patients showed a response to treatment; five patients showed progression of disease. The main discriminating variables in favor of response were patients who entered the study either in complete remission or who had stable disease status and a low percentage of blasts in the bone marrow at study entry. Importantly, there was no association found between response and disease risk classification with the majority of responding patients having an adverse cytogenetic risk profile, which is highly encouraging given the difficulty in effecting positive outcomes for these patients with a poor prognosis. In the seven responders, a median relapse free survival (RFS) of 420 days (˜ 14 months) and a median overall survival (OS) of 1090 days (˜ 36 months) was observed as compared to a median OS of 144 days in the five non-responders. The longest surviving patient experienced an RFS of 1,849 days (˜ 5 years) and OS of 2,160 days (˜ 5.9 years) after treatment with vididencel. In a subset of three patients, who initially responded to vididencel but later relapsed, post-vaccination treatment with azacitidine was evaluated and resulted in one complete remission and two partial responses. The data suggest that azacitidine and vididencel may act synergistically.

공시 • Sep 21Mendus AB to Present Novel Data Supporting the Broad Potential of its Proprietary Cancer Vaccine Platform at CICON23Mendus AB will present novel clinical and preclinical data on the mode of action of its lead clinical program vididencel at CICON23 – the International Cancer Immunotherapy Conference in Milan, Italy. The data further validate vididencel’s proposed mechanism of action and demonstrate that immune responses triggered by the cell-based cancer vaccine in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and ovarian cancer are largely comparable. This underlines the potential for a broad applicability of vididencel across different cancer types. The corresponding posters will be presented at CICON23 on September 22, and afterward made available on the Company’s website. The first data set presented at CICON compared the immune responses observed in the currently active clinical trials evaluating vididencel, the ADVANCE II Phase 2 study in AML patients in complete remission with measurable residual disease (MRD) and the ALISON Phase 1 study in ovarian cancer patients at a high risk of relapse after debulking surgery and chemotherapy. Vaccine-induced responses (VIR) were observed in 17 out of 20 AML patients and, at this stage, in 6 out of 7 evaluable ovarian cancer patients. These responses were primarily targeting tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) that are expressed by the vididencel product, such as WT-1 and PRAME. Additionally, in ovarian cancer patients the immune response expanded to include a TAA that is overexpressed in cancer cells but not included in vididencel’s antigen repertoir. In the ADVANCE II study, the number of observed VIRs correlated with clinical responses and survival benefits, which cannot yet be determined for the ALISON study. The second data set presented at CICON further examined the mechanism of action of vididencel building on previously disclosed data sets. The data were generated in collaboration with the Department of Tumor Immunology, Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences, at the Radboud University Medical Centre, in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. It was previously shown that upon intradermal administration vididencel is absorbed by skin-resident antigen-presenting cells (APCs), which concomitantly become activated to prime the immune system. In a new in vitro study, Mendus and its collaboration partner further investigated how such an indirect priming mechanisms via APCs can result in the activation of antigen-specific T cells. Vididencel is currently being evaluated in AML and ovarian cancer as a potential maintenance therapy to reduce or prevent tumor recurrence. Vididencel is an off-the-shelf, intradermal vaccine derived from the Company’s proprietary DCOne leukemic cell line. In December 2022, the Company presented positive results from the ADVANCE II study in AML at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. The analysis demonstrated the potential of vididencel to control MRD and induce durable relapse-free survival in the majority of patients. Mendus expects to present a next survival update in the fourth quarter of 2023. Additionally, Mendus anticipates starting a new Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the combination of vididencel with oral azacitidine, currently the only approved drug in AML maintenance, in H2 2023, as a step-up to pivotal-stage development.
공시 • Sep 08Mendus AB Receives U.S. FDA Fast Track Designation forididencel in Acute Myeloid LeukemiaMendus AB announced that it has received Fast Track Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Company's lead program, vididencel, for the treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in complete remission with residual disease. Advantages of the Fast Track Designation include close and early interactions with the FDA to support accelerated approval, as well as the possibility of a "rolling review" for a subsequent market application. The FDA's decision was based on the previously communicated results from the ADVANCE II clinical trial, which delivered promising survival read-outs and underpinned the safety of vididencel as a monotherapy in AML. Vididencel had already been assigned Orphan Drug Designation for treatment of AML in the US and Europe. Additionally, Mendus had recently been granted an Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product (ATMP) certificate by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) following a review of manufacturing quality and non-clinical data for its lead pipeline program vididencel.ididencel is currently being evaluated in AML and ovarian cancer as a potential maintenance therapy to reduce or prevent tumor recurrence.

New Risk • Aug 29New minor risk - ProfitabilityThe company is currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over the next 2 years. Trailing 12-month net loss: kr141m Forecast net loss in 2 years: kr8.5m This is considered a minor risk. Companies that are not profitable are more likely to be burning through cash and less likely to be well established. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (97% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (333% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m (kr1.4m revenue, or US$125k). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (kr8.5m net loss in 2 years). Market cap is less than US$100m (€22.7m market cap, or US$24.6m).

Average annual earnings growth of 70% is required to achieve expected profit on schedule.
New Risk • Aug 07New major risk - Shareholder dilutionThe company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 239% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (41% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (239% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m (kr1.4m revenue, or US$129k).

Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook.

공시 • Jun 12Mendus AB Presents Comprehensive Advance II Immunomonitoring Data at the EHA Annual Meeting 2023Mendus AB presented new clinical data from the Phase 2 ADVANCE II clinical trial in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) maintenance at the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2023 Hybrid Congress. The data demonstrate that vididencel treatment led to increased levels of activated, cancer-killing T cells and reduced levels of inhibitory, immune-suppressive T cells in the majority of patients. Patients with an MRD response, the primary endpoint of the study, had the highest levels of these functional tumor antigen-specific T cells and showed a trend towards higher levels of circulating antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and B cells following vididencel treatment. Altogether, the data provides a clear proof of the mechanism of action of Mendus' lead development program. At the time of the data cut for EHA 2023, analysis of circulating immune cells had been performed in 20 evaluable AML patients to investigate the immune system activation induced upon treatment with vididencel. Functional T-cell analysis showed vaccine induced responses (VIRs) to antigens present in vididencel in 17 out of 20 patients, with highest number of VIRs in MRD responders, providing a positive correlation of VIRs with clinical outcomes. Analysis of individual immune cell populations showed changes in both the innate and adaptive immune cell compartments, with higher levels of tumor-reactive T cells and reduced numbers of inhibiting LAG3-expressing T-cells measured in circulation.

공시 • Dec 13Mendus AB (publ) Presents Positive Survival Data from the Advance II Trial Evaluating DCP-001 as A Maintenance Therapy in AML At the American Society of Hematology MeetingMendus AB presented survival data based on the completed active study period and long-term follow-up to date from the Company’s ADVANCE II clinical trial at the 64th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting (ASH). ADVANCE II is a Phase 2 monotherapy trial evaluating DCP-001 as a maintenance therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) for patients brought into complete remission through chemotherapy, but with measurable residual disease (MRD). The ADVANCE II trial has completed the 70-week follow-up period after start of DCP-001 treatment, and patients are now in long-term follow up. Median follow-up for the entire study population at the data cut-off for ASH on 22nd of November was 19.4 months. Median relapse-free survival (RFS) was not yet reached, with 12 out of 20 patients still in complete remission, ranging from 16 to 47 months after start of treatment. Median overall survival (OS) currently stands at 30.9 months. The only drug approved for AML maintenance therapy is oral azacitidine, which in MRD positive patients led to a median relapse free survival (RFS) of 7.1 months versus 2.7 months in the placebo arm and an overall survival (OS) of 14.6 months versus 10.4 months in the placebo arm of the registration trial. Increased immune responses against tumor-associated antigens were seen in 17 out of 20 patients following DCP-001 administration, with a significantly higher number of immune responses observed in patients with an MRD response. As reported earlier, treatment with DCP-001 resulted in an MRD response in 7 out of 20 evaluable patients, with 5 patients converting to MRD negativity and 2 patients with a decline in MRD of at least 10-fold. Patients converting to MRD negativity following DCP-001 treatment continue to have a significantly better overall survival, with all still being alive to date. Longer-term follow up confirms the excellent safety profile of DCP-001, with no drug-related serious adverse events reported and injection-site reactions as the most common drug-related adverse events.

공시 • Oct 17Mendus to Report Positive Clinical and Preclinical Data in Ovarian Cancer At the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology 2022 CongressMendus AB (publ) announced the upcoming presentation of first clinical data from the ongoing ALISON Phase I trial evaluating safety and feasibility of its maintenance immunotherapy product candidate DCP-001 in ovarian cancer. The initial data demonstrates that DCP-001 was safe and well-tolerated, confirming the benign safety profile of DCP-001 observed in multiple completed and ongoing clinical trials. This supports its suitability as a maintenance therapy and justifies continued development of this novel immunotherapy concept in ovarian cancer, the deadliest gynaecological cancer due to its high recurrence rate. The presentation at the ESGO Congress will also include new preclinical data demonstrating the synergistic effects of combining DCP-001 vaccination with intratumoral immune priming. This novel therapeutic strategy of combining local and systemic intervention benefits from Mendus’ unique expertise in both areas and resulted in a very potent suppression of tumor growth, including complete tumor regressions in a humanized mouse model for ovarian cancer.
공시 • Jul 14Mendus AB (Publ) Publishes Preclinical Data Demonstrating Significant Anti-Tumor Synergies of Intratumoral Immune Priming with CTLA-4 InhibitionMendus AB announced the publication of in vivo data demonstrating significant anti-tumor synergies between the Company’s allogeneic dendritic cell-based immune primer program ilixadencel and immune checkpoint inhibition via CTLA-4 blockade in the peer-reviewed journal OncoImmunology. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is an inhibitory checkpoint receptor and blocking has the potential to release the "brakes" on patients' endogenous immune systems. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first anti CTLA-4 antibody, ipilimumab (Yervoy®), for the treatment of late-stage melanoma in 2011 and several CTLA-4 targeting programs are in clinical development today. Despite achieving durable responses and improved overall survival using CTLA-4 blockade in many patients, it is estimated that up to 80% still do not respond possibly attributed to a lack of pre-existing immunity. Mendus’ current generation immune primer, ilixadencel, has been evaluated in a broad range of tumors and has demonstrated an excellent safety profile across all studies with encouraging signs of efficacy when combined with other treatment modalities including checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab and kinase inhibitors. In the preclinical study published today, mice were transplanted subcutaneously with CT-26 colorectal cancer cells and were subsequently treated with an intratumoral injection of ilixadencel, an intravenously given antagonistic anti-CTLA-4 antibody, a combination of both or placebo. Neither ilixadencel, nor anti-CTLA-4 treatment alone affected tumor progression or prolonged survival significantly. However, combined treatment with ilixadencel and anti-CTLA-4 significantly delayed tumor progression and led to tumor remission with 7 out of 10 mice surviving longer than 70 days with no detectable tumor. All surviving mice were subsequently re-challenged with CT-26 cells and all mice rejected the newly inoculated tumors compared to the control mice, where none rejected the reintroduced CT-26 cells, indicating the establishment of an immunological memory response. Several findings of the study demonstrated a profound remodeling of the initially immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment following the combined use of ilixadencel and the anti-CTLA-4 inhibitor. Changes to the TME were visible in gene set analyses of significant pathway signatures including upregulated pathways that affect the myeloid compartment, antigen presentation, the lymphoid compartment, and cytokines/chemokine regulation. On a cellular level, changes in the combination arm included intratumoral infiltration of immune cells with anti-cancer features, including host dendritic cells with high antigen-presenting capacity and activation phenotypes, macrophages with M1-like phenotype, activated neutrophils and inflammatory monocytes. Combined, these changes led to a suitable TME for the expansion of CD8+ tissue-resident memory T cells which was positively correlated with elevated potential tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells in the tumor and “tumor-matching” CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood. Moreover, splenocytes from mice in the combination treatment group secreted significantly higher IFN-? upon stimulation with a CT-26-derived model neoantigen, confirming the induction of a tumor-specific CD8+ T-cell response. Depletion of CD8+ T cells totally abolished the therapeutic benefit.
공시 • May 16Immunicum AB (publ) Announces Positive Interim Results from ADVANCE II Study in AML Maintenance TreatmentImmunicum AB (publ) announced updated interim results from the ongoing ADVANCE II clinical trial evaluating the company’s lead development program DCP-001, a novel therapeutic option for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) maintenance therapy in patients with measurable residual disease (MRD). The analysis demonstrates the therapeutic potential of DCP-001 to control MRD based on the complete read-out of all 20 evaluable patients. In addition, the interim survival data provides for a first strong indication on how the effects of DCP-001 vaccination observed on MRD translate into relapse-free and overall survival benefits for this patient population. The previously reported clean safety and tolerability profile of DCP-001 was confirmed. The international, multi center, open-label Phase II study ADVANCE II enrolled AML patients in complete remission (CR) following chemotherapy induction, but who remained MRD positive and were therefore deemed to be at elevated risk of relapse. Patients in the ADVANCE II trial were divided into two cohorts of 10 patients each, administered with two different dose levels of DCP-001, 25 and 50 million cells/vaccination. Patients in each cohort received four biweekly doses of DCP-001, followed by additional booster administrations at weeks 14 and 18. MRD responses were recorded at 14, 20, and 32 weeks and patients were followed for up to 70 weeks after first administration. Median follow up of patients at the cut-off date for the interim analysis was 14.3 months. The primary endpoint of the study is MRD response, and the secondary endpoints of relapse free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS).
공시 • May 05+ 1 more updateImmunicum AB Presents Preclinical Data Demonstrating Synergy of Dcp-001 with Standard Treatments for Acute Myeloid LeukemiaImmunicum AB announced the publication of a scientific abstract for an upcoming poster presentation at the 20th Cancer Immunotherapy (CIMT) Annual Meeting, being held from May 10-12, 2022. The abstract discloses new preclinical data on DCP-001, Immunicum’s lead clinical candidate, in combination with 5’-azacitidine (5-AZA), a hypomethylating agent, and venetoclax (VEN), a BCL2 inhibitor, in a preclinical setting. The in vivo and in vitro data support the evaluation of DCP-001 as a potential combination therapy with 5-AZA+VEN in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and related hematological malignancies and demonstrated stronger tumor volume reduction in combination than either vaccination or drug treatment alone. DCP-001 is a cell-based cancer vaccine generated by differentiation and maturation of Immunicum’s proprietary human DCOne myeloid leukemic cell line into a mature dendritic cell phenotype. This results in a vaccine comprising a broad array of endogenous tumor-associated antigens combined with a mature dendritic cell costimulatory profile. Preclinical studies suggest that upon intradermal vaccination, DCP-001 is phagocytosed by local and recruited antigen-presenting cells (APC), resulting their activation and migration to the draining lymph nodes to (re)activate tumor-reactive T-cells. In clinical studies, intradermal DCP-001 vaccination has been shown to be safe and feasible as a post-remission therapy in AML. Importantly, immunomonitoring confirmed that DCP-001 vaccination resulted in anti-tumor immune responses that correlated with long-term survival. To evaluate a potential combination of DCP-001 vaccination with 5-AZA + VEN in a preclinical setting, a humanized mouse model for AML was used. Mice were randomized and assigned to four groups: untreated control, vaccination alone, treatment with 5-AZA + VEN alone, and combination. The mean tumor volume 6 weeks after therapy initiation was significantly reduced in the combination group (181.8 ± 29 mm3) as compared to control (522 ± 97.5 mm3), but also vaccination (326.9 ± 54.6 mm3) or drug treatment alone (293.8 ± 29 mm3). Additional in vitro studies detected no negative impact of 5-AZA + VEN on the viability, recovery or phenotype of DCP-001. Moreover, no influence of either 5-AZA or VEN was observed on the ability of DCP-001 to stimulate proliferation of allogeneic peripheral blood lymphocytes or on the ability of allogeneic monocyte-derived immature dendritic cells to endocytose DCP-001-derived cellular content, a key component of the mechanism-of-action.

The Phase II data demonstrate the ability of DCP-001 to convert or significantly reduce detectable minimal residual disease (MRD) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, with fully converted patients demonstrating greater overall survival. The results of the trial also reinforced data from a preceding Phase I trial demonstrating intradermal injection of DCP-001 to be generally well-tolerated. The Phase II study enrolled twenty-six AML patients in complete remission (CR) following chemotherapy induction, but who remained MRD positive and were therefore deemed to be at elevated risk of relapse. Of twenty patients with evaluable MRD levels post-vaccination, six demonstrated a measurable improvement in MRD status with four of those patients converting from MRD positive to MRD negative, and two patients achieving a substantial reduction in MRD throughout the course of the trial. Patients who converted from MRD positive to MRD negative over the course of the trial were observed to have improved survival over those not having fully converted. An additional seven patients remained in CR with stable MRD levels and only six patients encountered relapse. Intradermal injections of DCP-001 were well tolerated, with only limited drug related side effects. No serious adverse events were reported in conjunction with DCP-001. Patients in the ADVANCE II trial were divided into two cohorts, with each administered a different dose level of DCP-001 biweekly for four times, followed by additional booster administrations at weeks 14 and 18. MRD responses were recorded at 14, 20, and 32 weeks and patients were followed for up to 70 weeks after first administration. Median follow up of patients was 389 and 224 days for the two dose cohorts respectively. The primary endpoint of the study is MRD response, and the projected secondary endpoints of relapse free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) are still to be evaluated. The trial is continuing follow-up on patients to assess MRD responses over time and to assess relapse free (RFS) and overall (OS) survival.

공시 • Dec 03Immunicum Announces Completion of Phase Ib Portion and Early Closure of ILIAD StudyImmunicum AB announced the completion of the Phase Ib portion of the ILIAD study evaluating the Company’s off-the-shelf, cell-based immune primer ilixadencel in combination with anti-PD1 checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) pembrolizumab (Keytruda®) in different cancer indications. All subjects in the Phase Ib portion have completed the initial follow-up period for safety and response evaluation, with a positive safety review by the Data Safety Monitoring Board reported last July. Responses to treatment were observed in patients previously treated with CPIs and not in CPI-naive patients. As the latter was the intended patient population for the Phase II part of the study, the company has made the determination to close the study at this stage and not proceed with the Phase II portion. The Phase Ib ILIAD combination trial included cancer patients eligible for pembrolizumab therapy based on its approved label by the FDA. A total of twenty-one subjects were enrolled: ten of those with types head- and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), six with melanoma, two with gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJAC), one with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), one with uterine carcinoma and one with cervical cancer. All patients treated within this study suffered from advanced stage disease and were heavily pre-treated with several lines of treatment. A total of sixteen patients were enrolled that had prior exposure to pembrolizumab and progressed on this checkpoint inhibitor, and five patients were enrolled without any prior exposure to pembrolizumab. Among the ten HNSCC patients enrolled, a partial response was observed in two, with those two having been among a subgroup of six patients that tested negative for human papilloma virus (HPV) and had prior pembrolizumab exposure. Additionally, stable disease was observed in four subjects with prior pembrolizumab exposure. Of those stable disease subjects, one had HNSCC, one had melanoma, one had NSCLC and one had GEJAC. Observed responses in the CPI pre-treated patients will be further evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Of the five patients that were enrolled in the Phase Ib portion of the ILIAD study without any prior exposure to pembrolizumab, none had any observable response. As previously reported, no dose-limiting toxicities were observed in the ILIAD study, up to the highest dose of 20 million cells per injection, and no adverse events were reported which were life-threatening or led to death. Only two severe adverse events (grade 3) related to ilixadencel were reported, which were injection-related reactions. All other reported adverse events related to ilixadencel were mild to moderate.
공시 • Nov 22Immunicum AB Publishes DCP-001 Mechanism of Action in the Journal CellsImmunicum AB announced that the publication of a scientific journal article describing the mechanism of action for its cell-based cancer relapse vaccine DCP-001. The publication in the peer-reviewed journal Cells details the interaction between DCP-001 and antigen-presenting cells and the cellular pathways involved. The study supports a mechanism of action whereby transfer of antigenic material, including tumor-associated antigens, and activation of the patient’s own antigen-presenting cells upon injection of DCP-001 in the skin leads to the induction of immune responses against tumor cells. The proposed mechanism of action supports the development of DCP-001 as an allogeneic, off-the-shelf product which activates the patient’s own immune system, with an excellent safety profile and with relative ease of administration via intradermal injection, not requiring lymphodepletion or other preconditioning. Immunicum conducted the study in collaboration with leading immunology researchers at the Amsterdam University Medical Center and Northeastern University in Boston. The data published in Cells show that DCP-001 exchanges its cellular content with antigen-presenting cells via a phagocytosis process, in which phosphatidylserine plays an important role and which is further enhanced by the blocking of CD47. The study included an ex vivo model for intradermal injection using human skin tissue samples. Following intradermal injection, DCP-001 initiates the activation of skin-resident alloreactive T-cells, causing local inflammation and attraction of host dendritic cells. DCP-001 is digested by the attracted DCs, resulting in a transfer of tumor-associated antigens, which in turn leads to the migration of the patient's own DCs toward draining lymph nodes to initiate the tumor-specific T-cell priming process. The described mechanism of action supports the promising characteristics of DCP-001 as a cancer relapse vaccine providing active immunization and durable anti-tumor immune response aiming to reduce tumor recurrence.

The ALISON study is carried out by Professor Hans Nijman and his research group in Groningen, the Netherlands, and investigates the ability of DCP-001 to trigger the immune system to control cancer cells that may have remained in the body after surgery and treatment with chemotherapy in order to prevent or reduce tumor reccurence. This is the first study using Immunicum’s cancer relapse vaccine approach to target a solid tumor indication and will evaluate the safety, feasibility and immunogenicity of DCP-001. The Phase I ALISON study is a single-center, open-label study evaluating safety and efficacy of DCP-001 in High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (HGSOC) patients. HGSOC is a unique type of epithelial cancer that is characterized by the loss of function of the tumor suppressor protein, p53, which can lead to chemotherapy resistance and disease relapse. The vaccination regimen with DCP-001 will be scheduled after standard of care treatment, which includes chemotherapy either before or after debulking surgery, and will start 6 weeks following the last cycle of chemotherapy. Patients will receive 4 bi-weekly vaccinations with 25 million cells per DCP-001 vaccination and 2 additional booster vaccinations with 10 million cells per vaccination. Patient follow-ups will be conducted for 24 months. The primary endpoint of the study is change from baseline of DCP-001 vaccine antigen-specific T cells in peripheral blood after treatment. Key secondary endpoints include safety and tolerability after repeated DCP-001 dosing as well as recurrence free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) during the follow-up period.

공시 • May 04Immunicum AB Presents Preclinical Data for Ilixadencel and DCP-001 At the 18Th Cancer Immunotherapy Annual MeetingImmunicum AB announced the publication of two abstracts for oral presentations covering preclinical data on its lead programs, ilixadencel and DCP-001, at the 18th Cancer Immunotherapy (CIMT) Annual Meeting, held virtually from May 10 to May 12, 2021. The presentations cover updated preclinical data on the combination of ilixadencel with a checkpoint inhibitor targeting CTLA4 and new preclinical data on the mechanism of action of DCP-001 and its combination with the emerging immunotherapy target CD47. The data covered in the ilixadencel abstract published by the conference extends data from previous preclinical experiments of ilixadencel in combination with an anti-CTLA4 checkpoint inhibitor in a CT26 colon carcinoma animal model, which demonstrated that the combination of ilixadencel and anti-CTLA4 led to complete eradication of tumors in 50-80% of the treated animals. These effects were mainly driven by CD8+ T cells and, in the new data to be presented at CIMT, characterization of CD8+ T cells from blood samples confirmed that the combination of ilixadencel and anti-CTLA4 therapy increased the frequency of CD8+ T cells with the specific markers NKG2D, CX3CR1 and CD39. These markers indicate a crucial population related to tumor-infiltrating cells with a ‘tumor-matched’ phenotype that is able to attack cancer cells. For the abstract covering DCP-001, new preclinical data elucidate the mechanism of action through which DCP-001 can induce specific anti-tumor immunity in patients’ immune cells. The preclinical evaluation of DCP-001 mixed with the host immune cells, called peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), shows the induction of the production of various pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines by these PBMCs. In addition, DCP-001 was efficiently taken up by immature monocyte-derived dendritic cells, and the blockade of the “don’t eat me” signal and emerging immunotherapy target CD47 enhanced the uptake of DCP-001. These results suggest a vital role for the patient’s immune cells in triggering the immune response upon DCP-001 vaccination and support the clinical rationale for further combination therapies including CD47 inhibitors.

공시 • Feb 19Immunicum AB Receives Orphan Drug Designation from EMA for Ilixadencel as Treatment for Gastrointestinal Stromal TumorsImmunicum AB announced that the European Medicines Agency Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP) has issued a positive opinion on the Company’s application for orphan designation status for its Phase II clinical candidate, ilixadencel, a cell-based, off-the-shelf immune primer, for the treatment of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST). The COMP opinion was based on results from the Phase I/II clinical trial in GIST, a rare and difficult-to treat cancer indication belonging to the group of cancers referred to as soft tissue sarcomas (STS). To qualify for Orphan Designation in the EU, an investigational medicine must be intended to treat a seriously debilitating or life-threatening condition that affects fewer than five in 10,000 people in the EU and there must be sufficient data to suggest the investigational medicine may produce clinically relevant outcomes. Applications for orphan designation are examined by the EMA’s COMP, which adopts an opinion that is forwarded to the European Commission. The European Commission’s decision follows a few weeks after the COMP opinion is issued. Orphan drug designation provides companies with certain benefits and incentives, including ten years of market exclusivity upon marketing authorization, clinical protocol assistance, access to a centralized marketing authorization procedure and reduced regulatory fees.
