About UV1
UV1 is a peptide-based vaccine inducing a specific T cell response against the
universal cancer antigen telomerase. UV1 is being developed as an
"off-the-shelf" therapeutic cancer vaccine which may serve as a platform for use
in combination with other immunotherapy which requires an ongoing T cell
response for their mode of action. UV1 has been tested in four phase I clinical
trials which enrolled a total of 82 patients and has maintained a positive
safety and tolerability profile as well as encouraging signals of efficacy.
About Ultimovacs
Ultimovacs' UV1 universal cancer vaccine candidate leverages the high prevalence
of the human telomerase (hTERT) to be effective across the dynamic stages of the
tumor's growth and its microenvironment. By directing the immune system to hTERT
antigens that are present in over 80% of all cancers, UV1 drives CD4 helper T
cells to the tumor with the goal of activating an immune system cascade to
increase anti-tumor responses. Ultimovacs' strategy is to clinically demonstrate
UV1's impact in a range of cancers and in several immunotherapy combinations
while expanding our pipeline of cancer vaccine therapies, convinced that a
universal approach may be the key to achieving better outcomes for patients.
