ABOUT VIDIDENCEL

Vididencel is a whole cell-based vaccine designed to improve immunity against residual cancer cells. Vididencel is being developed as a cancer maintenance therapy, aimed at prevention or delay of tumor recurrence, the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Vididencel is currently studied in a Phase 2 monotherapy trial (ADVANCE II) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a blood-borne tumor which leads to recurrence in the majority of patients within the first year after high-intensity chemotherapy, due to residual disease. In the most recent read-out of the ADVANCE II trial of December 2022, the majority of patients (12/20) were alive and disease-free after the initial 70-week study period with follow up ranging from 16-47 months, despite having measurable residual disease at study entry. In a next study, vididencel will be combined with the currently approved drug for AML maintenance, oral azacitidine, as a step-up to pivotal-stage development. Mendus expects this new trial to start in 2023H2. An additional survival read-out for the ongoing ADVANCE II trial is expected 2023Q4.
