An overview of HERIZON study
The HERIZON study was a Phase 2 clinical trial of Imugene's HER-Vaxx technology in Her-2/Neu overexpressing advanced/metastatic gastric/GEJ cancer. HER-Vaxx is a B-cell activating cancer immunotherapy, developed for treating tumours which overexpress the HER-2/neu receptor, like lung, gastric, breast, pancreatic, and ovarian cancers. The immunotherapy is built using multiple B cell epitopes derived from the extracellular domain of HER2/neu.
Imugene’s shares were spotted trading 3.947% higher at AU$0.197 (as at 02:42 PM AEDT) on 7 October 2022.
