Imvax to Present Safety Data on Lead Program, IGV-001, at 2024 SNO Annual Meeting
PHILADELPHIA, PA (November 11, 2024) – Imvax, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing personalized, whole-tumor derived immunotherapies, today announced an oral presentation and two poster presentations at the 2024 Society for NeuroOncology (SNO) 29th Annual Meeting in Houston, Texas, from November 21-24, 2024. Separately, the Company will also host a symposium focused on the development of IGV-001 for the treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
Imvax will present blinded safety data from the Company’s ongoing randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2b clinical trial of IGV-001 in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (ndGBM). The Phase 2b study to assess the safety and efficacy of IGV-001 in patients with ndGBM (NCT04485949) has completed enrollment and top-line results are expected to be presented in mid-2025. Imvax will also present follow-on data from its Phase 1b study of IGV-001 in patients with ndGBM, as well as preclinical data of IGV-001 in combination with checkpoint inhibitors.
The details of the oral presentation and two poster presentations are below:
Title: Early safety data from a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, phase 2b study of IGV-001, an autologous cell immunotherapy, versus placebo, in newly diagnosed glioblastoma (ndGBM)

Timing: November 22, 7:25 p.m. – 7:35 p.m. CST
Presenter: Brad Elder, M.D.
Title: Long-term survivors from a Phase 1b study of IGV-001 in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma
Number: CTIM-11
Timing: November 21-22, 7:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. CST
Presenter: Raul-Perez Olle, M.D., Ph.D.
Title: IGV-001: A biologic-device combination product elicits potent anti-GBM responses as a monotherapy and in combination with check point inhibition

About IGV-001
IGV-001 is an autologous biologic-device combination product derived from Imvax’s proprietary Goldspire® immuno-oncology platform for solid tumors, which involves a unique approach to inducing a broad and durable immune response against tumors. Phase 1 studies showed that IGV-001 was safe and well tolerated, and a Phase 1b ndGBM study also yielded several efficacy signals, including significant improvements in PFS, OS, radiographic evidence of tumor response, and multiple biomarker changes that supported the presence of an immune response (Andrews DW, et al., Clin Cancer Res. 2021;27(7):1912-1922). In ten Stupp-eligible ndGBM patients in the highest dose cohort treated with IGV-001, median PFS was 17.1 months, compared with 6.5 months in historical standard-of-care (SOC) treatment, and median OS was 38.2 months, compared with 16.2 months in historical SOC.
About Imvax, Inc.
Imvax is a clinical-stage biotechnology company with a unique platform technology, Goldspire®, focused on delivering personalized, whole tumor-derived immunotherapies across a range of solid tumors. Imvax’s most advanced program, IGV-001, is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2b clinical trial in newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients. Imvax’s portfolio also includes several other programs designed to stimulate a patient’s immune system against the entire antigen signature of their tumor. Imvax is headquartered in Philadelphia, PA.
