About Scancell
Scancell is developing novel immunotherapies for the treatment
of cancer based on its ImmunoBody(R) and Moditope(R) technology
platforms.
Scancell's first ImmunoBody(R), SCIB1 is being developed for the
treatment of melanoma. Data from the Phase 1/2 clinical trial
demonstrate that SCIB1, when used as monotherapy, has a marked
effect on tumour load, produces a melanoma-specific immune response
and highly encouraging survival trend without serious side effects.
In patients with resected disease there is increasing evidence to
suggest that SCIB1 may delay or prevent disease recurrence.
Scancell's ImmunoBody(R) vaccines target dendritic cells and
stimulate both parts of the cellular immune system: the helper cell
system where inflammation is stimulated at the tumour site and the
cytotoxic T-lymphocyte or CTL response where immune system cells
are primed to recognise and kill specific cells.
Pre-clinical data on a combination of SCIB1 or SCIB2 and
checkpoint inhibition (blockade of the PD-1 or CTLA-4 immune
checkpoint pathways) have shown enhanced tumour destruction and
significantly longer survival times than when either treatment was
used alone.
Scancell has also identified and patented a series of modified
epitopes that stimulate the production of killer CD4+ T cells that
destroy tumours without toxicity. The Directors believe that the
Moditope(R) platform could play a major role in the development of
safe and effective cancer immunotherapies in the future.
