Selvax's innovative technology targets the tumour microenvironment in cancer cells. It stimulates an immune response, further allowing the technology to overcome significant challenges which were earlier faced with other cancer immunotherapies. These major challenges also include poor response rates and potentially serious toxicity.
If the technology is successfully deployed, it might help treat novel cancer in animals and humans.
Orbit Financial Capital is the exclusive financial advisor to the transaction.
