Expanding the vididencel opportunity
In the second quarter of 2025, Mendus reported data from the pivotal Phase 2a ADVANCE II trial at different keynote conferences, confirming that its lead product vididencel acts an active immunotherapy across different subtypes of high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Expansion of the vididencel clinical development in AML is ongoing, with the CADENCE Phase 2b combination trial actively recruiting patients in Australia.
Mendus reported positive data from the Phase 1 ALISON trial in ovarian cancer at ASCO, demonstrating tumor-directed immune responses that are associated with improved progression-free survival, and secured a US patent for use of vididencel in this indication. Mendus remains committed to the execution of a clinical trial strategy focused on market registration of vididencel as a post-remission therapy in (AML), combined with a broadening of the addressable patient population in AML and potentially other myeloid malignancies, with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) as a prioritized indication. The company has maintained an active dialogue with the pharmaceutical industry to ensure that the next steps in the clinical development of vididencel match medical need and industry expectations.
