Immunovaccine Provides Corporate Update and AGM Results

HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA--(Marketwired - April 16, 2015) - Immunovaccine Inc. ("Immunovaccine" or the "Company") (TSX:IMV) is pleased to provide an update on recent clinical and preclinical research, corporate activities and the voting results of the annual and special meeting of shareholders of the Company.

Fred Ors joins Immunovaccine as Chief Business Officer

Frederic Ors joins Immunovaccine's senior management team in the newly created position of Chief Business Officer. Mr. Ors, 41, spent 13 years at Medicago Inc. in Quebec, most recently as Vice President of Business Development and Strategic Planning. He has been an integral part of Medicago's success in securing multiple non-dilutive funding opportunities, leading to an acquisition by Mitsubishi Pharma in 2013 for $357M. Before joining Medicago he was manager of intellectual property and licensing for Paris Diderot University, a complex of 150 labs, two hospitals and 2,300 scientists in Paris. He earned his bachelor's degree in biology and his master's in management of innovation projects in biotechnology at the University of Angers.

"I'm excited to join Immunovaccine in its current stage of development and help it grow by seizing the many opportunities ahead for commercial development of a revolutionary technology," said Mr. Ors.

Clinical Research Update

Immunovaccine continues to have an active clinical pipeline based on the DepoVax™ platform, in both cancer and infectious diseases. This progress is highlighted by DPX-Survivac, our lead cancer immunotherapy candidate, in which a Phase 2 clinical trial in lymphoma has recently been initiated. In addition, a Phase 2 study in ovarian cancer is also planned. These clinical trials follow positive safety and immunogenicity results from a Phase 1/1B study in ovarian cancer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted DPX-Survivac a Fast Track designation as maintenance therapy in subjects with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube and peritoneal cancer who have no measurable disease following surgery and front-line chemotherapy. A Phase 1/2 with DPX-0907 in breast and ovarian cancer patients that was planned with Busto Arsizio Hospital in Italy will no longer proceed due to unforeseen extended delays at the clinical site. The Company will provide further updates on DPX-0907 in due course. DepoVax™ was selected as the underlying vaccine technology supporting a Phase 1B study in HPV-related cancers, funded through the Stand Up to Cancer (SU2C) and Farrah Fawcett Foundation (FFF). In addition, the Company plans to initiate its first Phase 1 clinical trial in infectious disease in 2015, a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine being developed to protect the elderly population from infection.

Preclinical Research Update

The Company conducts innovative preclinical research to support its clinical pipeline. Through a long standing collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) the Company has conducted multiple animal studies supporting the development of both a novel vaccine for anthrax and Ebola virus disease. Due to a highly competitive landscape for Ebola vaccines and the early-stage nature of our Ebola vaccine development program, combined with a rapidly dwindling number of clinical cases in which to test innovative novel vaccine candidates, Immunovaccine determined it will no longer pursue the development of an Ebola virus vaccine for the time being. Immunovaccine continues to collaborate with the NIH to further advance a DepoVax™-based single dose rapid response anthrax vaccine.
