Mendus is developing lead candidate vididencel, a cell-based vaccine, as a maintenance therapy for the prevention or delay of tumour recurrence. It is currently being assessed in two indications. Encouraging survival data were reported for the Phase II ADVANCE II trial (acute myeloid leukaemia, AML) in December 2023, showing a potentially competitive profile over standard of care and the only approved AML maintenance drug, Onureg. Management is planning to maximise the potential of vididencel with the Phase II CADENCE combination study with Onureg, commencing in Q224. Vididencel is also being assessed in the ongoing Phase I ALISON trial (ovarian cancer); updates are expected throughout 2024. The company’s second clinical asset, ilixadencel, is being developed as an intratumoral immune primer and is in preparations to start a Phase II trial for the treatment of soft tissue sarcomas. Pro forma net cash at end-Q124 was SEK156.4m, which should fund Mendus into Q325.
