Anixa Biosciences, Inc. („Anixa“ or the „Company“) (NASDAQ: ANIX), a biotechnology company focused on the treatment and prevention of cancer, today announced its strategic plan for a Phase 2 study for its breast cancer vaccine. The Phase 1 trial is being conducted at Cleveland Clinic, funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Defense.
The proposed Phase 2 trial will evaluate the efficacy of the vaccine administered in the neoadjuvant (before surgery) setting, in combination with chemotherapy and Keytruda (pembrolizumab). The goal of neoadjuvant therapy is to reduce tumor burden and to prevent tumor recurrence with the intent to improve survival. This clinical trial approach allows Anixa to enroll a broader range of patients, encompassing multiple types of breast cancer.
