About Targovax
Activating the patient's immune system to fight cancer
Targovax (OSE:TRVX) is a clinical stage immuno-oncology company developing
immune activators to target hard-to-treat solid tumors. Targovax aims to unlock
greater clinical benefits in cancer patients by deploying multifunctional
platforms to target key immune regulators and oncogenic drivers. Targovax's
focus is to "activate the patient's immune system to fight cancer", thus
extending and transforming the lives of cancer patients with targeted
therapeutic cancer immunotherapies. The Group's pipeline aims at different
cancer indications, including melanoma, mesothelioma and colorectal cancer. The
products are designed to harness the patient's own immune system to fight the
cancer, whilst also delivering a favorable safety and tolerability profile.
Further, the products are well positioned for combinations with other treatment
approaches, including other immunotherapies, surgery, radiation and
chemotherapy.
Targovax's lead product candidate, ONCOS-102, is a genetically modified
oncolytic adenovirus, which has been engineered to selectively infect cancer
cells and activate the immune system to fight the cancer. ONCOS-102 is currently
being tested in mesothelioma, melanoma and colorectal cancer and has already
shown promising clinical results both as monotherapy and in combination with
chemotherapy, and a checkpoint inhibitor.
