VXL.v $VXLLF Vaxil Announces Progress on Research and Development Activities
by @nasdaq on 29 Sep 2021, 04:50
Not for distribution by US newswire or in United States
NESS-ZIONA, Israel, Sept. 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VAXIL BIO LTD. (“Vaxil” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: VXL), an innovative immunotherapy biotech company specializing in cancer and infectious diseases, announces here on the progress of its various research and development activities including; development of oral formulation for signal peptides ("SPs"), research on the utilization of P-Esbp polymer as a novel anti-cancer drug, and the issuance of U.S. patent No. 11135277 on 5 October, 2021, titled: “Antigen specific multi epitope-based anti-infective vaccines”.
Vaxil is continuing with its mission to bring novel medicines to the public, which includes the utilization of SPs as anti-cancer and anti-microbial vaccines. In order to improve treatment procedures of SP-based vaccines, Vaxil has engaged in efforts to develop a SP-based oral formulation. Vaxil believes that oral delivery of SPs can benefit patients by simplifying administration procedures without compromising the therapeutic efficacy, and it may also simplify manufacturing processes, transportation, and storage conditions.
SP-based oral formulation is being developed independently, as well as in partnership with an established oral delivery company. So far, various potential oral formulations were explored for their ability to solubilize SPs and for their feasibility to be used in in vivo studies against MUC1 and COVID-19 targets. A potentially promising formulation was identified and currently it is being further studied to better define its performance. In parallel, an in vivo study was initiated aimed at testing the ability of the SP-based oral formulation to induce a systemic immune response in mice.
As previously reported Vaxil is making progress in the licensed drug delivery polymer that targets with high affinity E-selectin (P-Esbp), which was invented by Prof. Ayelet David, Head of the Drug Targeting and Nanomedicine Laboratory, Department of Clinical Biochemistry and Pharmacology from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. E-selectin is an important component in inflammation, metastasis, and tumor growth processes, and Prof. Ayelet David’s previous work demonstrated therapeutic efficacy of P-Esbp conjugated with the anti-cancer drug doxorubicin (P-Esbp-DOX) in prolonging the survival of tumor-bearing mice with both primary (Lewis lung carcinoma) and metastatic tumors (melanoma lung metastasis model).
In order to further explore and establish the potential of P-Esbp-DOX for treating cancer, an in vivo experiment was designed aimed at evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of P-Esbp-DOX in a mouse model of aggressive liver metastasis of colorectal tumors. To this end, P-Esbp was successfully conjugated with DOX, and the maximum tolerated dose of P-Esbp-DOX was determined in the suitable mouse strain. Currently the in vivo treatment study is ongoing, and the results would help Vaxil to strategize the appropriate approach for a clinical program.
In addition, Vaxil announces that it further strengthens its intellectual property assets regarding the treatment of tuberculosis by using SPs, since a patent will be issued in the U.S. (U.S. patent No. 11135277) on 5 October, 2021, titled: “Antigen specific multi epitope-based anti-infective vaccines”, that includes claims relating to various SP-based anti-tuberculosis vaccines.
ABOUT VAXIL
Vaxil is an Israeli immunotherapy biotech company focused on its novel approach to targeting prominent cancer markers and infectious diseases. Its lead product ImMucin™ successfully completed a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in multiple myeloma for which it received orphan drug status from the FDA and EMA. The Company aims to continue to develop ImMucin™, a COVID-19 and a tuberculosis vaccine / treatment that has demonstrated promising preliminary results with further preclinical evaluation planned. Additional indications and mAb candidates are under evaluation as immuno-oncology and infectious disease treatments alone and in combination with other treatments.
Vaxil exploits the unique properties of signal peptide domains on crucial proteins to develop targeted therapies against cancer targets and infectious disease pathogens. These signal peptide domains are identified by VaxHit™, Vaxil’s proprietary bioinformatic approach. These signal peptides induce a robust T- and B-cell response across wide and varied HLA subtypes, while acting as true, universal neoantigens. The peptide platform targets these cells by “educating” or specifically activating the immune system to recognize and attack the affected cells. In addition, Vaxil’s mAb platform directly recognizes the target protein expressed on malignant cells and recruits other elements of the immune system to lyse those cells.

VXL.v $VXLLF Vaxil Provides Strategy Update From Conclusion of COVID-19 Challenge Study
by @nasdaq on 17 Feb 2021, 10:25
Not for distribution by US newswire or in United States
NESS-ZIONA, ISRAEL, Feb. 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VAXIL BIO LTD. (“Vaxil” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: VXL), an innovative immunotherapy biotech company specializing in cancer and infectious diseases, today reports results of the previously disclosed COVID-19 vaccine candidate challenge experiment and the strategy going forward.
Vaxil established the USAMRIID collaboration (CRADA) based on the global need for a viable COVID-19 vaccine utilizing an alternative technology that demonstrates cellular and humoral responses, both of which are necessary. In this rapidly moving pandemic, variants have become the established infection model, which can be better addressed with Vaxil’s SP approach. Neutralizing antibody technologies may require frequent modifications while Vaxil’s signal peptide (“SP”) technology may provide long-term efficacy as the virus mutates.
The USAMRIID COVID-19 mouse model challenge experiment demonstrated that Vaxil’s SP-based vaccine candidate generated a specific immune response. This was not, however, accompanied by vaccine protection of the animals.
The Company plans to conduct additional analyses and on the basis of the understanding obtained, refine aspects of experiment design, including dosing levels and regimens, and alternate animal models that may allow future investigation of the unique and specific aspects of SP’s as immunogens. In addition, the Company will evaluate alternate peptide delivery approaches, including oral administration. This strategy focuses future efforts on the unique benefits of SP’s to sustain Vaxil’s competitive advantage over the longer term, beyond the current crisis environment, when it can realistically achieve approval for human use.
The Company’s strategy to deliver value over the long-term is based on potentially unique benefits of SPs including their broad and strong immune response, both cellular and humoral, their reduced propensity to genetic mutation and the advantage of efficient manufacturing.
“We were pleased to see the encouraging immune response and are excited to pursue further testing to highlight the unique advantages of SPs as a technology, though we had hoped to be able to demonstrate higher levels of protection in our first challenge experiment. It’s not uncommon to see such results at this early stage. We will work diligently with our international team of experts to further understand the data as COVID-19 is unfortunately going to be around for a long time. Whilst we had hoped to get into the clinic sooner, we believe that our technology could still be very relevant in the fight against COVID-19 and other infectious diseases,” said David Goren, Vaxil’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and continued, “thanks to our relatively strong balance sheet, we have sufficient funds to continue the pre-clinical development of our potential vaccine and our other research programs.”
Dr. Michael Berelowitz, Vaxil’s newly appointed senior advisor the board of directors added: “Vaxil’s innovative approach in targeting the SP domain of clinically meaningful cancer and infectious disease molecules provided the stimulus for joining the company. The demonstration in this study of COVID-19 SP immunogenicity provides support and impetus for the concept. These results, together with those previously seen in multiple myeloma and tuberculosis, provide support for the Vaxil strategy moving forward and their investigative approach toward developing critical new therapeutics.”
The Company is not making any express or implied claims that it has completed developing or will be successful in developing a COVID-19 (or SARS-CoV-2) vaccine at this time.

VXL.v $VXLLF Vaxil Enters Into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement With U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (“USAMRIID”)
by @nasdaq on 26 Oct 2020, 08:57
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION BY US NEWSWIRE OR IN UNITED STATES
NESS-ZIONA, Israel, Oct. 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VAXIL BIO LTD. (“Vaxil” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: VXL), an innovative immunotherapy biotech company specializing in cancer and infectious diseases, is pleased to announce that on October 26, 2020, it has entered into a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) with USAMRIID under which USAMRIID will test CorVax™ for its ability to specifically prevent COVID-19 in mice.
Vaxil recently reported that its CorVax™ successfully generated an immune response in the experiment carried out at the Allergy and Clinical Immunology Unit at the Medical Research, Infrastructure, and Health Services Fund of the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center in Israel by Dr. David Hagin. As a result, the Company is progressing to the next study to test whether this immune response is specific enough to COVID-19 to provide protection against the virus in a mouse model.
As scientists and companies race to find vaccines to prevent COVID-19 infection, some platforms are focused on mRNA, others on viral vectors, viruses and various subunits. Vaxil is, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, the only company working with signal peptides, which offer unique advantages of efficacy in stimulating a broad immune response while achieving a suitable safety profile. Vaxil’s signal peptide platform has proven safety in a phase 1/2a study in oncology.
“The initial immunogenicity data sound intriguing,” said Dr. Joseph W. Golden, a principal investigator in USAMRIID’s virology division. “We look forward to evaluating this vaccine formulation for its potential to protect against SARS-CoV-2 in our mouse models.”
The work to be performed by USAMRIID will be financed out of the Company’s existing working capital, according to David Goren, Vaxil’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The team hopes to secure additional funding for future studies.
“We are pleased to have USAMRIID assess our potential COVID-19 vaccine,” said Goren. “The work in the US will support and strengthen the experiments we have already done in Israel in our in-vivo study. Together, the combined research will help the Company plan and execute more efficient pre-clinical and clinical programs.”
The Company is not making any express or implied claims that it has completed developing or will be successful in developing a COVID-19 (or SARS-CoV-2) vaccine at this time.

Its lead product ImMucin™ successfully completed a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in multiple myeloma for which it received orphan drug status from the FDA and EMA. The company aims to continue to develop ImMucin™, a COVID-19 and a tuberculosis vaccine / treatment that has demonstrated promising preliminary results with further preclinical evaluation planned. Additional indications and mAb candidates are under evaluation as immuno-oncology and infectious disease treatments alone and in combination with other treatments.
Vaxil exploits the unique properties of signal peptide domains on crucial proteins to develop targeted therapies against cancer targets and infectious disease pathogens. These signal peptide domains are identified by VaxHit™, Vaxil’s proprietary bioinformatic approach. These signal pepdies induce a robust T- and B-cell response across wide and varied HLA subtypes, while acting as true, universal neoantigens. The peptide platform targets these cells by “educating” or specifically activating the immune system to recognize and attack the affected cells. In addition, Vaxil’s mAb platform directly recognizes the target protein expressed on malignant cells and recruits other elements of the immune system to lyse those cells.
The Company is not making any express or implied claims that it has completed developing or will be successful in developing a COVID-19 (or SARS-CoV-2) vaccine at this time.
