VBI Vaccines Inc. (Nasdaq: VBIV) announced that its abstract for VBI-1901, a cancer vaccine candidate for recurrent glioblastoma (GBM), has been accepted for poster presentation at the Society for Neuro-Oncology's 27th Annual Meeting on November 18, 2022. The study focuses on biomarker analysis of responders vs. non-responders in the Phase 2a trial. GBM, a prevalent and aggressive brain tumor, sees 12,000 new cases yearly in the U.S. The research aims to enhance immunotherapeutic approaches targeting cytomegalovirus antigens associated with GBM.
Positive
VBI-1901 has been accepted for presentation at a significant oncology meeting.
The ongoing Phase 2a study aims to improve outcomes for GBM patients.
Negative
The high mortality rate of GBM and rapid tumor progression indicates significant challenges.
Dependence on successful clinical trial results for future developments.

About VBI-1901 and GBM
VBI-1901 is a novel cancer vaccine immunotherapeutic candidate developed using VBI’s enveloped virus-like particle (eVLP) technology to target two highly immunogenic cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigens, gB and pp65. Scientific literature suggests CMV infection is prevalent in multiple solid tumors, including glioblastoma (GBM). GBM is among the most common and aggressive malignant primary brain tumors in humans. In the U.S. alone, 12,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. The current standard of care for treating GBM is surgical resection, followed by radiation and chemotherapy. Even with aggressive treatment, GBM progresses rapidly and has a high mortality.
