NEW YORK, April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Crystal Research Associates, LLC
announced today that it has issued an Executive Informational
Overview(R) (EIO(R)) on Advaxis, Inc. (OTC:ADXS) (BULLETIN BOARD:
ADXS) . The full 60-page report can be found at
http://www.crystalra.com/. Advaxis, Inc. ("Advaxis" or "the
Company") uses live, genetically modified Listeria monocytogenes
("Listeria") to safely create vaccines that stimulate multiple
immune responses against cancer as well as infectious and immune
disorders. Through patented techniques, the Company engineers the
Listeria bacteria to secrete a specific antigen. The recipients'
immune system recognizes and processes that antigen in order to
provoke an immune attack against the cancer. Advaxis' Listeria
platform technology is licensed from the University of
Pennsylvania, where it has been developed over the past 15 years by
Dr. Yvonne Paterson, the scientific founder of the Company and
current chair of its Scientific Advisory Board. At present, Advaxis
is engineering Listeria to fight cervical intraepithelial neoplasia
("CIN") and cervical, head and neck, prostate, breast, and other
cancers. The cancer vaccine market is forecast to reach over $8
billion by 2012, up from $481 million in 2007. In preclinical
studies, Listeria-based cancer vaccines have a 100% therapeutic
response rate and consistently provoke tumor regression, completely
eliminating tumors in over 50% of mice. Moreover, animals dosed
with these vaccines show a long-term immunity against cancer, with
new tumor cells unable to grow. This suggests that the technology
can not only treat existing tumors but may also prevent cancer
recurrence. In 2007, Advaxis completed its first human clinical
trial of the Listeria platform using Lovaxin C, a vaccine for human
papillomavirus (HPV)-derived cervical cancer. In the Phase I trial,
the vaccine has been shown to be safely administered to humans and
well tolerated. To Advaxis' knowledge, it is the first entity to
safely administer live Listeria as an antigen carrier and immune
system stimulant in humans. A Phase II clinical trial is planned
for patients with CIN I/II in 2008. About Crystal Research
