Company Description:
www.tapimmune.com TapImmune Inc., a development stage biotechnology company, focuses on the development and marketing of products specializing in the application of discoveries in cellular and molecular immunology and cancer biology to the development of proprietary therapeutics aimed at the treatment and eradication of cancer and prevention of infectious diseases. The company’s technologies are based on an understanding of the function of a protein pump known as ‘TAP’, which is located within cells and which is essential to the processing of foreign (microbial) or autologous antigens, and subsequent presentation to the immune system for eradication of the cancer or infected cell. Products and Technology in Development The company has developed its TAP Cancer Vaccine at the UBC Biomedical Research Centre under an agreement. This therapeutic cancer vaccine candidate, to be tested in preclinical toxicology studies, would include the patented use of the TAP-1 gene to restore the TAP protein, with the objective being to develop the TAP technology as a therapeutic cancer vaccine that would restore the normal immune recognition of cancer cells. The company has completed small animal pre-clinical animal testing of its TAP Cancer Vaccine to the extent that is required as a prerequisite for further preclinical toxicology analysis and investigational new drug (IND) application to the United States Federal Drug Administration. Strategic Alliances The company has entered into a five-year research license and option agreement with Crucell Holland B.V. (Crucell), whereby Crucell granted it a worldwide license for the research use of its packaging cell (PerC6) technology. The company signed a license agreement with the National Institute of Health (USA) for the use of the Modified Vaccinia Ankora (MVA) virus for the development of vaccines. It would license this technology for the development of prophylactic vaccines against infectious diseases. Competition The company’s major competitors include CellGenSys Inc., Dendreon Corp., Genzyme Molecular Oncology, and Transgene S.A. Significant Events In June 2010, the company has signed a licensing option agreement with Mayo Clinic Rochester for clinical development of a breast cancer vaccine technology. On August 4, 2010, TapImmune, Inc. announced that the company has signed a research and technology license option agreement with Mayo Clinic Rochester for the development of a smallpox vaccine technology.


Market / Customers
The company is currently developing TAP based vaccines for the oncology and prophylactic market. The global vaccine market is expected to grow from $13 billion in 2007 to $21 billion in 2010.

With the World Health Organization's recent vocal announcements of growing threats that multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant forms of tuberculosis are spreading at an alarming rates in Europe, investors have once again begun to pay more attention to TPIV, which holds promise as both an anti-cancer and bio-defense play. TapImmune continues working with the likes of the Mayo Clinic and Aeras Foundation on vaccine candidates in both Cancer and Infectious Diseases.

The company has been quietly building solid relationships within industry because of the relevance of the TAP technology and BioMedReports continues to expect positive developments from the firm, particularly with CEO Dr. Glynn Wilson on the verge of presenting data from the clinic on TAP levels and its affect on disease progression. There is growing evidence now from around the world showing that TAP is indeed a key component in the antigen presentation process and where it is lacking or down regulated, disease progresses and prognosis is worse.

The Seattle based company's TAP-based prophylactic vaccine -- which initial tests indicate may increase the efficacy of targeted prophylactic vaccines by up to 1000 times -- may significantly improve the efficacy of many current prophylactic vaccines and enhance the creation of new ones in the fight against many pandemic infectious diseases.

A next generation smallpox vaccine is currently in preclinical development and the company has been busy working with Gregory Poland, the head of the Mayo Clinic's Vaccine Research Group, who is working to unite the fields of genomics and vaccinology. That work has come about, in part, because Poland and others have never been fully pleased with the existing vaccine paradigm.

Chairman and CEO, Dr. Glynn Wilson, is an invited speaker at BIT's 2nd Annual World Congress on Immunodiseases and Therapy to be held in Guangzhou, China, November 18-20, 2011.

At this meeting, Dr. Wilson will review the role of TAP (Transporters Associated with Antigen Presentation) as a novel target for the development of vaccines for cancer and infectious disease, and the development pathway for TapImmune's technologies. Analysis of clinical samples indicate that a variety of solid tumors (breast, melanoma, ovarian, cervical and lung) have deficiencies in TAP levels, and that TAP levels correlate with lesion size, disease stage, metastatic potential and speed of disease progression. Different TAP genotypes also correlate with cervical cancer risk from oncolytic human papillomaviruses. Collectively, these studies indicate that abnormal expression of TAP genes are part of a widespread mechanism that can result in impaired antigen presentation and immune escape of malignant cells in a variety of tumors. Strategies to restore TAP expression, including clinical programs, will be discussed.
