(firmenpresse) - HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/29/13 -- Immunovaccine Inc. ("Immunovaccine" or "IMV") (TSX VENTURE: IMV), a clinical stage vaccine company, today released its financial and operational results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
John Trizzino, CEO of Immunovaccine, commented,
"During the quarter, our cancer vaccine program grew rapidly. The NCIC Clinical Trials Group, supported by the Canadian Cancer Society, agreed to provide clinical and operational support for a Phase II study of our lead product, DPX-Survivac in advanced ovarian cancer patients. That trial is expected to begin in the new year. The company also entered into Phase II collaborations of DPX-Survivac in the treatment of glioblastoma and with DPX-0907 for breast and ovarian cancer. Both of these collaborations involve research organizations in Europe. In addition, the company received additional financial support from the Province of Nova Scotia. On August 2, 2013, the Province awarded the company a secured $5.0 million loan to help underwrite our working capital needs. These new relationships, with the NCIC CTG, the two European research centers and the Province, serve as certification of the science that forms the foundation of everything we do at Immunovaccine. These trials will provide the additional validating data that we need to move these vaccines toward our goal of delivering breakthrough therapies for patients in need."
