Advaxis

Advaxis, Inc., a clinical development stage biotechnology company, focuses on developing immunotherapies for cancer and infectious diseases. Its Lm -LLO immunotherapy platform technology stimulates the immune system to induce antigen-specific anti-tumor immune responses involving innate and adaptive arms of the immune system by inhibiting the T-cells, Tregs, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, and MDSC to promote immunologic tolerance of cancer cells in the tumor. The company’s platform technology also facilitates the immune response by altering the tumor microenvironment to reduce immunologic tolerance in the tumors that makes the tumor more susceptible to immune attack. It has approximately 15 distinct immunotherapies in various stages of development, directly developed by the company and through strategic collaborations. The company’s products in clinical development stage comprise ADXS-HPV that is being evaluated in various clinical trials for cervical cancer, head and neck cancer, and anal cancer; ADXS-PSA for the treatment of prostate cancer; and ADXS-cHER2 for the treatment of overexpressing cancers, such as breast, gastric, and other cancers in humans, as well as for osteosarcoma in canines. Advaxis, Inc. was founded in 2002 and is based in Princeton, New Jersey.
