The use of AccuTOX® to reprogram these MSCs relies mainly on the induction of protein aggregation.

Key Points: 
  • The use of AccuTOX® to reprogram these MSCs relies mainly on the induction of protein aggregation.
  • In addition, our team found that at specific doses, AccuTOX® forms protein aggregates when mixed with tumor lysate, a process that pushes MSCs to degrade these intracellular complexes resulting in potent antigen presentation."
  • The ARM-002TM vaccine is even more potent, as it actually requires 10x less protein.
  • These results will set the target indication for the Phase I trials, and it also shows how versatile and adaptable the ARM-002TM anti-cancer vaccine is.

Bei Tests als therapeutisches Vakzin bei einem Melanom-Modell führte ARM-002TM in Kombination mit dem Immuncheckpoint-Inhibitor Anti-PD1 in 80 % der Fälle zu einer vollständigen Reaktion.

Key Points: 
  • Bei Tests als therapeutisches Vakzin bei einem Melanom-Modell führte ARM-002TM in Kombination mit dem Immuncheckpoint-Inhibitor Anti-PD1 in 80 % der Fälle zu einer vollständigen Reaktion.
  • Darüber hinaus können entwickelte Immunzellen zu einem lang anhaltenden immunologischen Gedächtnis führen, das Patienten vor späteren Krebsrückfällen schützen kann.
  • Defence hat sich dafür entschieden, seinen AccuTOX®-Leitkandidaten zu testen, um einen Krebsimpfstoff der zweiten Generation zu entwickeln, da dieser bei einer intratumoralen Verabreichung in geringeren Dosierungen nachweislich die Antigenpräsentation in Krebszellen verbessert.
  • Der Kern der Defence Therapeutics-Plattform besteht in der ACCUM®-Technologie, die einen präzisen Transport von Impfantigenen oder ADCs in intakter Form zu den Zielzellen ermöglicht.

Eureka, Nevada--(Newsfile Corp. - April 9, 2024) - North Peak Resources Ltd. (TSXV: NPR) (the "Company" or "North Peak") is finalizing plans for its upcoming drilling campaign on its Prospect Mountain Property in Eureka, Nevada (the "Property" or "Prospect Mountain") which is expected to consist of up to 15,000 feet of R/C drilling with 20-30 holes targeting the gold zones on patented claims in the Wabash and Delaware/Madrid areas located in the northern portion of the Property ("Prospect Mountain North") (see Figure 1 below). Drilling at Prospect Mountain North will be at select areas around the former high-grade Williams, Wabash and Chicago gold mines, and the Wabash area which had 91 holes for 27,615 feet of vertical RC drilling completed in 1998/1999 when the gold price was much lower (see Figure 2 below). The campaign is also expected to include follow-up on a drill hole drilled by Homestake Mining that returned very promising gold assays; it is a lone hole located in the eastern portion of the Property with no other historic drilling activity nearby (see Figure 3 below).

When tested as a therapeutic vaccine in a melanoma cancer model, ARM-002TM leads to an 80% complete response when combined with the anti-PD-1 immune-checkpoint inhibitor.

Key Points: 
  • When tested as a therapeutic vaccine in a melanoma cancer model, ARM-002TM leads to an 80% complete response when combined with the anti-PD-1 immune-checkpoint inhibitor.
  • Compared to current anti-cancer strategies, vaccination can stimulate specific immune responses capable of potentially curing established tumors.
  • In addition, developed immune cells can lead to a long-lasting memory response capable of further protecting the patient from subsequent cancer relapses.
  • Although the ARMTM vaccine can effectively present antigens to responding T cells, the large amount of antigen preparation required to generate the cellular vaccine might represent challenges in the clinic.

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - February 12, 2024) - North Peak Resources Ltd. (TSXV: NPR) (the "Company" or "North Peak") reports that its 3,253-foot first exploration core hole (PM23-001) successfully drilled the conductive Mobile MT geophysical anomaly identified from summer 2023 surveys on its Prospect Mountain Property in Eureka, Nevada (the "Property" or "Prospect Mountain") (see the Company's October 27, 2023 press release).

Key Points: 
  • "This initial drill hole was positioned to enable us to target the MT anomaly identified from an operationally efficient location in winter," commented Mike Sutton, Director and Senior Geologist.
  • PM23-001 was successful in intersecting several zones of pyrite, sphalerite, galena +- chalcopyrite mineralization in the projected area of the MT geophysical anomaly.
  • These results from WS01 and WS02 are consistent with the localized gold and polymetallic intercepts found in PM23-001.
  • Towards the end of PM23-001 (west of the underground workings), marbelization of the dolomite is present and granitic dyke was intersected.
