Antigenics submits MAA for Oncophage
USA-based Antigenics has submitted a Marketing Authorization Application to the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) requesting approval of its cancer vaccine Oncophage in earlier-stage, localized renal cell carcinoma under the conditional authorization provision.
Currently, there are no EMEA-approved drug therapies for this patient population. If cleared, Oncophage will be the first therapeutic cancer vaccine to receive a marketing license from European regulators. Unlike the cervical cancer vaccines Gardasil or Cervarix, Oncophage enhances the body's immune response to cancer cells that have already developed rather than preventing them occurring.
