ABOUT VIDIDENCEL
Vididencel is a whole cell-based vaccine designed to improve immunity against residual cancer cells. Vididencel is being developed as a cancer maintenance therapy, aimed at prevention or delay of tumor recurrence, the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Vididencel is currently studied in a Phase 2 monotherapy trial (ADVANCE II) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a blood-borne tumor which leads to recurrence in the majority of patients within the first year after high-intensity chemotherapy, due to residual disease. In the most recent read-out of the ADVANCE II trial of December 2022, the majority of patients (12/20) were alive and disease-free after the initial 70-week study period with follow up ranging from 16-47 months, despite having measurable residual disease at study entry. In a next study, vididencel will be combined with the currently approved drug for AML maintenance, oral azacitidine, as a step-up to pivotal-stage development. Mendus expects this new trial to start in 2023H2. An additional survival read-out for the ongoing ADVANCE II trial is expected 2023Q4.
ABOUT THE NORTHX BIOLOGICS ALLIANCE
On June 8, 2023, Mendus announced that it has entered into a manufacturing alliance with NorthX Biologics AB (“NorthX”). NorthX is a Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) and serves as the National Swedish Innovation Hub for the GMP manufacture of biologics used in vaccines, gene therapy and other advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs). Mendus and NorthX will co-establish cell therapy manufacturing capabilities in Sweden, which will be used for late-stage development and commercial manufacturing of vididencel.
