Total funding raised: $12.5M
Overview
BioVaxys is a clinical-stage biopharma company focused on harnessing the immune system to combat cancer and infectious diseases. Its strategic acquisition of IMV Inc. transformed the company, providing a validated DPX™ delivery platform and mid-stage clinical assets, most notably the Phase 2B cancer vaccine maveropepimut-S (MVP-S). The company's business model centers on advancing its platform and pipeline to proof-of-concept before out-licensing to larger partners for late-stage development and commercialization.
Technology Platform
The DPX™ platform is a synthetic lipid-in-oil delivery system with a 'no-release' mechanism that forces active uptake of vaccine payloads by immune cells at the injection site, promoting potent, targeted T-cell responses.
