Scancell to present three posters at the Seventh International Cancer Immunotherapy Conference
Scancell Holdings plc (AIM: SCLP), the developer of novel immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and infectious disease, announces it will present three posters at the Seventh International Cancer Immunotherapy Conference, jointly organised by the American Association for Cancer Research, the European Network for Cancer Immunotherapy and the Cancer Research Institute and taking place on 20-23 September 2023 in Milan, Italy.
Prof Lindy Durrant, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of Scancell, commented: "We look forward to presenting at such a prestigious meeting and sharing data on our preclinical programmes with the scientific community. As previously disclosed in a recent business update, we continue to make great progress in the clinic with our two lead cancer vaccine assets SCIB1/iSCIB-1+ and Modi-1 currently in Phase 1/2 clinical trials as well as leveraging the value of our antibody platform to generate revenue through high value licence agreements.
"Showcasing the potential of our technology platforms to generate further pipeline assets with high value partnering opportunities, we will be presenting encouraging data on both the Moditope® and GlyMab® platforms. Data on antibody candidates derived from the GlyMab® platform illustrate the potential of these assets as chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapies and could lead to out licensing opportunities with cell therapy companies. Furthermore, we will be presenting data bolstering the potential of Modi-2 as a solid tumour cancer therapy and further characterising the response to Moditope® peptides in preclinical studies."

About Scancell
Scancell is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that is leveraging its proprietary research, built up over many years of studying the human adaptive immune system, to generate novel medicines to treat significant unmet needs in cancer and infectious disease. The Company is building a pipeline of innovative products by utilising its four technology platforms: Moditope® and ImmunoBody® for vaccines and GlyMab® and AvidiMab® for antibodies.
Adaptive immune responses include antibodies and T cells (CD4 and CD8), both of which can recognise damaged or infected cells. In order to destroy such cancerous or infected cells, Scancell uses either vaccines to induce immune responses or monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to redirect immune cells or drugs. The Company's unique approach is that its innovative products target modifications of proteins and lipids. For the vaccines (Moditope® and ImmunoBody®) this includes citrullination and homocitrullination of proteins, whereas its mAb portfolio targets glycans or sugars that are added onto proteins and / or lipids (GlyMab®) or enhances the potency of antibodies and their ability to directly kill tumour cells (AvidiMab®).
