“Epitopea has been at the forefront of identifying CryptigenTM TSAs, whose intratumor shared nature across patients has made them ideal targets for the development of off-the-shelf immunotherapies,” commented Alan C. Rigby, Epitopea’s CEO. “At Epitopea we continue to accelerate the development of our preclinical pipeline as we transition to a clinical-stage company on the ‘heels’ of our recent, oversubscribed, pre-Series A financing. We believe that this strategic collaborative relationship with MSD, a leader in immunotherapy therapeutic development, provides us with an additional opportunity to validate the potential impact of these differentiated tumor specific antigens. We are thrilled to collaborate with MSD as our teams collectively look to impact the lives of patients with cancer by helping to improve outcomes.”
