Vaccinex to Report Promising New Clinical Data Revealing Pepinemab’s Unique Mechanism to Enhance Immunotherapy at Annual Meeting of American Association for Cancer Research (AACR)
Neoadjuvant treatment with pepinemab appears to induce abundant, mature lymphoid structures that correlate with durable clinical benefit of immunotherapy in patients with metastatic melanoma. Pepinemab, Semaphorin 4D blocking immunotherapy, also appears to induce the formation of efficient lymphoid structures in “cold” tumors of patients with recurrent and metastatic head and neck cancer. ROCHESTER, N.Y., April 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vaccinex, Inc. (Nasdaq: VCNX), a clinical-stage biotechn
