Investor Update summary
24 Nov, 2025Market and share price update
Significant share price decline attributed to lack of licensing deals, slower-than-expected data, high cash burn, and short positions, despite no clinical trial failures and ongoing program progress.
Management and board are also shareholders and share concerns about valuation and market sentiment.
Capital needs remain high due to three active programs and the nature of biotech R&D.
Additional capital raises are planned, with timing and pricing dependent on market conditions.
No material impact expected from recent market or tariff volatility on clinical trial runway.
Clinical pipeline and trial progress
Azer-cel shows a 57% complete response rate in heavily pretreated patients, with phase II strategy being finalized and costs expected to exceed $30 million USD.
OnCARlytics and VAXINIA are progressing in solid tumor studies, with early signs of clinical activity and ongoing dose escalation.
VAXINIA has a biliary tract cancer patient in complete remission for over two years and two melanoma patients with partial responses.
Focus is on expanding the biliary tract cancer cohort and advancing programs with the strongest clinical signals.
No clinical trial failures reported across any programs.
Business development and partnerships
Active discussions underway for out-licensing and partnerships, especially for HER-Vaxx and PD1-Vaxx.
Commercialization strategy centers on generating compelling data and partnering with larger pharma rather than self-commercialization.
Neo-POLEM trial for PD1-Vaxx is preparing to open for enrollment in the UK and Australia.
No plans to sell azer-cel; focus remains on advancing and partnering assets.
