BioVex

BioVex is a three year old private biotech company that is developing a new class of potent vaccines principally to treat and prevent cancer. The Company is headquartered in Oxford, UK.

The Company has three technology platforms based on the manipulation of the herpes simplex type one virus. The Company has two vaccine platforms; OncoVEX and ImmunoVEX and a functional genomics platform for gene determination in the nervous system (NeuroVEX)



The Company’s lead product OncoVEX GM-CSF is to enter Phase I/II studies in early 2002 in breast cancer, head and neck cancer and malignant melanoma. OncoVEX GM-CSF is scheduled to be the first lytic HSV vector (that selectively destroys tumour cells) containing an immune stimulating molecule to move into clinical development. It has the potential to treat metastatic as well as local disease.



The Company’s ImmunoVEX vaccine platform stimulates a key class of immune policing (dendritic) cells. The Company’s lead product to treat malignant melanoma is expected to enter the clinic in the first quarter of 2003.



The Company also has a portfolio of vaccines to treat other cancers and chronic infectious diseases for which pre-clinical data sets are being assembled. These include products for lung cancer, prostate cancer, HSV/HPV and Hepatitis B.
