Mendus AB: Mendus AB (publ) announces Q4 and year-end results 2022

"Mendus focuses on changing the course of cancer treatment by developing immunotherapies that combine durable clinical responses with a benign safety profile. We do so by making use of our unique expertise in allogeneic dendritic cell biology. Durability of response and safety are particularly relevant in maintenance therapies, aimed at the prevention of tumor recurrence.

The positive Phase 2 data we presented at the American Society for Hematology conference last December for our lead program DCP-001 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) underline these principles. The data provide the basis for broader positioning and, eventually, the path to market registration of DCP-001 as a new maintenance treatment in AML. In 2022, we also reported the first positive clinical safety data with DCP-001 in ovarian cancer and completed the preparations for a next clinical trial with our intratumoral primer ilixadencel.

In January 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that they selected vididencel as the International Non-proprietary Name (INN) for DCP-001, and we will start using the name vididencel in our future communication. Finally, our preclinical research resulted in a novel method for the expansion of memory NK cells, potentially creating the starting point for a promising new pipeline program in the exciting upcoming field of NK cell-based therapies.

We are very happy with the progress we have made on all fronts in 2022 and the continued commitment of our entire team to develop impactful new cancer therapies. For 2023, we have taken necessary steps to focus on our most value-generating projects.”

Erik Manting, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Mendus AB
