BiovaxID?yields 89 percent survival in patients with aggressive non-Hodgkins

lymphoma, multiple myeloma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

"This is the first human cancer vaccine study to see T-cell responses in the absence of B-cells," said the study's first author, Sattva Neelapu, M.D., Assistant Professor in the Department of Lymphoma at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. "This paves the way to use vaccines in a number of hematological cancers that are treated by eliminating diseased B-cells."

Biovest is now enrolling patients in a pivotal Phase 3 trial to test BiovaxID against follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Follicular NHL is an indolent (slow-growing) form of lymphoma not considered curable with existing therapies. The impressive findings from the Phase 2 clinical trial using BiovaxID in mantle cell lymphoma suggest the vaccine could potentially be used to treat other types of NHL, in addition to follicular NHL.
