there could be so many reasons why Scancell are in silent mode .... example I recently posted about the great news that Genexine vaccine and Mercks keytruda came good ....... Merck will be well chuffed with that ......... maybe Merck now feel motivated to get behind Scancell .......... who Knows ? Scancell has already done the "collaboration bit" and we are now clinic ready ....
from 2016
SEONGNAM, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Genexine (KOSDAQ:095700), a clinical stage biotechnology company developing innovative biologics, today announced that it has entered into a clinical research collaboration with Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE:MRK), Kenilworth, NJ, USA (known as MSD outside the US and Canada), for the assessment of Genexine’s GX-188E, HPV therapeutic DNA vaccine, in combination with MSD’s anti-PD-1 therapy, Keytruda® (pembrolizumab), for the treatment of patients with HPV-induced cancers.
Under the terms of the agreement between Genexine and MSD, through a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., Kenilworth, NJ, USA, Genexine will conduct a Phase 1b/2a clinical trial to access safety and efficacy of the combination therapy, and MSD will provide clinical supplies of Keytruda and offer support to the study.
