(Nasdaq: GOVX), a biotechnology company developing vaccines and immunotherapies against cancers and infectious diseases, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and recent corporate highlights. GeoVax’s leadership will host a live conference call and webcast today to discuss financial results and provide a general business update. David Dodd, GeoVax’s Chairman and CEO, commented, “During the first quarter of 2023, our corporate focus continued to be on the advancement of our ongoing clinical trials for our Gedeptin® cancer therapy targeting advanced head and neck cancers and CM04S1, our next-generation SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) vaccine. Positive initial data was recently presented for CM04S1 during the World Vaccine Congress, and our Gedeptin trial has expanded to additional NCI-designated Cancer Centers, allowing us to accelerate our patient enrollment efforts; we look forward to completing enrollment for this trial in the very near future. I look forward to reporting further progress on each of our ongoing clinical trials during the remainder of the year.” Mr. Dodd further commented, “In addition to clinical progress, the first quarter was filled with many notable achievements for GeoVax. Significant progress has been made in developing a high-yield, high-capacity, continuous avian cell line system for manufacturing our MVA-based vaccines and immunotherapies, such as CM04S1. We believe this will provide GeoVax the ability to respond to large-scale world needs in a timely manner. Additionally, the recent expansion of our CM04S1 rights to include development for Mpox (monkeypox) and smallpox adds to other rights we previously secured from the NIH covering preclinical, clinical and commercial uses of the NIH-MVA, potentially adding significant value to our MVA-based vaccines under development.” First Quarter 2023 and Recent Business Highlights: Unpublished data from the open-label portion of the Phase 2 trial of CM04S1 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04977024) was presented during the 23rd Annual World Vaccine Congress.
