Advaxis in deal with Cobra for Lovaxin

29 October 2007

USA-based Advaxis has signed an agreement with UK firm Cobra Biomanufacturing for the production of its Phase II clinical trial material of a therapeutic cervical cancer vaccine known as Lovaxin C.

John Rothman, vice president, clinical development, at Advaxis, said: "we look forward to continuing our relationship with Cobra as we move forward with the development of live Listeria vaccines for the treatment of cancer. Our initial clinical work demonstrated the real world utility of our concepts, and Cobra's ability to execute their production as potential cancer immunotherapeutic agents."

David Thatcher, chief executive of Cobra, added: "we have been supporting the Advaxis Lovaxin C clinical program since 2003 and are delighted to extend our work with Advaxis on this exciting project."
