Advaxis, Inc. is a clinical development-stage company. The Company is a biotechnology company with the focus to develop safe and effective immunotherapies for cancer and infectious diseases. These immunotherapies are based on a platform technology under license from the University of Pennsylvania (Penn), that utilizes live attenuated Listeria monocytogenes (Lm), bioengineered to secrete antigen/adjuvant fusion proteins. These Lm strains use a fragment of the protein listeriolysin (LLO), fused to a tumor associated antigen (TAA) or other antigen of interest. In addition, the Company has developed immunotherapies for prostate cancer and HER2 overexpressing cancers (such as breast, gastric and other cancers in humans and for osteosarcoma in canines).
