As Cytovac solely apply the patient's own cells, this therapy is gentle and without the serious side effects normally associated with cancer treatment.Cytovac has been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the European (EMA) as well as the American (FDA) medicines agencies in support to the company's brain-cancer project.Cytovac has generated convincing data with the ALECSAT treatments in three clinical phase I trials targeted at treatment of prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer and brain cancer. So far more than 100 cancer patients have been treated, with more than 250 doses of ALECSAT.So Cytovac has a platform that may prove to be an efficacious treatment for several types of cancer. Cytovac has since 2015 concentrated all clinical efforts on brain cancer, and here the company is currently conducting clinical phase II trials.Cytovac is dedicated to treatment of cancer by using our key to immunotherapy.
