[{"type":"text","content":"WOBURN, Mass., July 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Replimune Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: REPL), a clinical stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of a novel class of tumor-directed oncolytic immunotherapies, today announced Sander Slootweg, founder and managing partner at Forbion, will not seek to be reappointed as a non-executive director at the end of his current term at the company’s upcoming annual general meeting. “It has been a pleasure working with Sander since the inception of Replimune several years ago,” said Philip Astley-Sparke, CEO of Replimune. “We are grateful for Sander’s sage advice, expertise and Forbion’s support of Replimune, and the other directors and members of our executive team join me in wishing Sander continued success.” “I am incredibly proud of being part of the board, and especially in what Replimune has accomplished since the company’s founding,” said Sander Slootweg, founder and managing partner at Forbion. “It was our belief from the start that tumor-directed oncolytic immunotherapy had immense potential to benefit patients in a variety of cancers, and I believe the company is well positioned to fulfill its promise.” About Replimune Replimune Group, Inc., headquartered in Woburn, MA, was founded in 2015 with the mission to transform cancer treatment by pioneering the development of novel tumor-directed oncolytic immunotherapies. Replimune’s proprietary RPx platform is based on a potent HSV-1 backbone with payloads added to maximize immunogenic cell death and the induction of a systemic anti-tumor immune response. The RPx platform has a unique dual local and systemic mechanism of action consisting of direct selective virus-mediated killing of the tumor resulting in the release of tumor derived antigens and altering of the tumor microenvironment to ignite a strong and durable systemic response. This MOA is expected to be synergistic with most established and experimental cancer treatment modalities, and, with an attractive safety profile the RPx platform has the versatility to be developed alone or combined with a variety of other treatment options.
