About Vaxil

Vaxil's primary immunotherapy product is the ImMucin signal peptide cancer vaccine, which demonstrated robust immune responses in 66.67% of 15 Multiple Myeloma patients tested in Vaxil's Phase-I/II clinical trial. As a result of Vaxil's results, ImMucin was Orphan Drug Status from both the FDA (June 2015) and EMA (March 2015). Vaxil's planned Phase-II clinical trial could include 60 Multiple Myeloma patients. Additionally, Vaxil hopes to consider potential partnership opportunities. Most recently, Vaxil signed a preliminary agreement to collaborate with the Mayo Clinic which would see ImMucin tested as a combination therapy together with checkpoint inhibitors.
