Morning all

Good point cleaner. Let's not forget SCIB2/iSCIB2+.
Lying on the shelf at present, but I'm sure Lindy will have plans for it once funds are available. Possibly that is why Lindy has previously stated that she would prefer a deal on the Immunobody platform as a whole rather than one solely on SCIB1/iSCIB1+.
"SCIB2 is the second cancer vaccine based on the ImmunoBody® technology and encodes a modified antibody engineered to express multiple epitopes from the cancer antigen NY-ESO-1. This is a well-characterised and validated cancer target, being overexpressed in several tumour types including synovial sarcomas, oesophageal, liver, gastric, prostate and lung cancers."
A trial was due to be progressed by CRUK, but they handed it back to Scancell due to lack of funds during the pandemic.
SCIB2 could be a far more valuable vaccine than SCIB1 due to the potential to treat a number of different cancers.
