Engineered Veterinary Vectored Immunotherapy and Vaccines: EVVIVAX

Our Vaccines

Tel-eVax targets Telomerase, the enzyme that maintains telomeres and prevents them from shortening during cell division. Telomerase is upregulated in many tumor cells, which enables the continued and uncontrolled proliferation of the malignant cells that drive tumor growth and progression.

Tel-eVax has shown efficacy for canine B-cell Lymphoma in three trials and is currently being evaluated in other tumor types

Telomer

 

Erb-eVax targets HER2/neu, a well validated oncogene. HER2/neu is overexpressed in Breast Cancer, Osteosarcoma, Transitional cell carcinoma and many other tumor types.
 

Erb-eVax induces killer T cells, antibodies and innate immunity, thus contributing to stabilizing tumor progression.

In vivo Electroporation

  • The administration of brief electrical pulses creates transient "pores" in the cell membranes, which allow chemotherapy drugs or large molecules such as nucleic acids to enter the cell cytoplasm. In addition, the electrical gradient inside the tissue allows transportation of the transduced molecule inside cell nuclei. Immediately following cessation of the electrical field, the pores seal.

  • EVVIVAX Scientists have a long standing experience with this technology.

Clinical Trials

To meet the need for safer and more effective treatments for canine cancer, EVVIVAX is conducting clinical trials in collaboration with the University of Pisa, Italy and VOS (Veterinary Oncology Service), New York, USA:

Tel-eVax

AAHSD000080
Evaluating a targeted Telomerase vaccine to stimulate anti-tumor immunity and prolong survival times in dogs and cats with various cancers – Species: Canine and Feline

 

Erb-eVax

AAHSD000081
Evaluating a targeted her2/neu cancer vaccine for the stimulation of anti-tumor immunity and prolonging survival times in dogs with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) – Species: Canine

AAHSD000082
Evaluating a targeted her2/neu cancer vaccine for the stimulation of anti-tumor immunity and prolonging survival times in dogs with mammary adenocarcinoma (bone cancer) – Species: Feline

AAHSD000085
Evaluating a targeted her2/neu cancer vaccine for the stimulation of anti-tumor immunity and prolonging survival times in dogs with transitional cell carcinoma (bladder or prostate cancer). Species: Canine

 

Details are available at AVMA Animal Health Studies Database (AAHSD).

 

Additional trials for other cancer types are in development
