About Us
We're a company founded to improve outcomes for patients with cancer.
ImmVirX seeks to advance a new generation of cancer treatments by developing a novel oncolytic immunotherapy that targets cancer indications with high unmet need.
Powerful New Oncolytic Immunotherapies
ImmVirX was founded in late 2019 by the team from Viralytics, a clinical-stage ASX-listed oncolytic virus company acquired in June 2018 by Merck and Co. Inc. for A$502 million. We are developing proprietary bio-selected RNA viruses with the capacity to selectively infect and kill cancer cells while also inducing tumour inflammation and achieving immune cell infiltration – potentially leading to the generation of specific innate and adaptive immune responses against cancer cells.
Our viral candidates are intended to increase the anti-tumour activity of current cancer immunotherapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-Ts and other cell therapies, and are targeted against a range of difficult-to-treat cancers, including colorectal, gastric, hepatocellular and ovarian cancer.
Our Technology
Developing proprietary oncolytic immunotherapy combinations
ImmVirX is developing novel oncolytic immunotherapy combinations that harness the power of certain viruses to preferentially infect and kill cancer cells and induce systemic anti-tumour immune responses. Our viral candidates are intended to increase the effectiveness of current immunotherapies in fighting cancers of high unmet need.
Our Facilities
R&D Facilities
Our team is based in state-of-the-art R&D facilities at the Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) and is supported by the University of Newcastle Research Associates (TUNRA) in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia
