Anixa Biosciences, Inc., a renowned biotechnology firm primarily focused on the prevention and treatment of cancer as well as other infectious diseases, has reportedly announced that a new IND application for the company’s innovative breast cancer vaccine candidate has been submitted to the United States FDA.
The vaccine technology is being innovated by a Cleveland Clinic research team, which was led and supervised by Dr. Vincent Tuohy, from Lerner Research Institute, Cleveland Clinic. The biotechnology giant has a global and exclusive license to the said technology.
Moreover, the vaccine technology is being effectively developed at the Cleveland Clinic, and has received substantial funding from the United States Department of Defense. This funding is further anticipated to allow completion of the two separate Phase 1 clinical stage trials.
Dr. Tuohy, stated that if the trial data results showcase outcomes that are like the ones gotten from pre-clinical studies, the breast cancer vaccine might possibly have a substantial effect on breast cancer, which is a highly common malignancy seen in women.
Dr. Amit Kumar, President & CEO, Anixa Biosciences, stated that the firm is looking ahead to move this new technology into clinical development.
Dr. Kumar further added that if the human trial data is similar to the animal data, then the retired protein hypothesis of Dr. Tuohy would pave a novel way of preventing breast cancer and other kinds of tumors.
Dr. G. Thomas Budd, the Clinical Investigator for the trial, who is from Taussig Cancer Center, Cleveland Clinic, stated that the first clinical trial would be conducted in women that are diagnosed with early stage, high-risk triple negative breast cancer and are getting standard care at the Cleveland Clinic.
Dr. Budd further added that the expert team is looking ahead to start the Phase I trial as well as assess the diagnosed patients.
