TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM | T-Win® cancer vaccines have a dual mechanism of action, targeting both tumor cells and immuno-suppressive cells in the TME T cells attack both tumor cells and target-expressing immuno-suppressive cells (e.g., IDO1, PDL1) The modulated and inflamed TME becomes immune permissive, enabling further tumor cell killing by the T cells T-win vaccine activates T cells with a dual mechanism of action Subcutaneous injection with T- win cancer vaccine technology, once every three weeks The T-win® cancer vaccine platform provide new therapeutic strategies that can continue to improve patient outcomes with novel mechanism of action and by addressing multiple TME suppressive elements in solid tumors.
