Competitive Landscape
Cytovac operates in a competitive niche with established players like Amgen (T-VEC) and several biotechs with clinical-stage OV candidates (e.g., Replimune, Oncorus, Transgene). Competition also comes from broader immuno-oncology modalities (cell therapies, antibodies, cancer vaccines). Success requires a clearly differentiated vector, payload, or delivery approach.
