Activartis is a biotech company based in Vienna and is currently in phase II of a clinical trial to develop a new cancer immunotherapy based on dendritic cells (AV0113). The aim of the phase II trial is to treat an aggressive form of brain tumour. However, it will in principle be able to treat all types of cancerous diseases.
The therapeutic platform combines a completely novel, proprietary approach by utilising a bacterial danger signal in combination with the patient’s tumour antigens together with the proven successful concept of dendritic cells to mobilise the patients’ immune system to combat the disease.
