HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA--(Marketwired - Nov 29, 2013) - Immunovaccine Inc. ("Immunovaccine" or "IMV" or "the Company") (TSX-VENTURE:IMV), a clinical stage vaccine and immunotherapy company, today released its financial and operational results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Albert Scardino, Executive Chairman of Immunovaccine, commented,
"The third quarter marked an important turning point for Immunovaccine when we secured a long-term loan from the Province of Nova Scotia for $5 million. This loan, together with our successful private placement of $4.2 million announced last week, helped to ensure that the Company can go forward through 2014 with the development of its immune-based therapies for ovarian cancer, breast cancer and glioblastoma (brain cancer).
"Immunovaccine also streamlined its management team by extending Chief Science Officer Marc Mansour's responsibilities, naming him the Company's Chief Operating Officer. Additionally, Albert Scardino became Executive Chairman after serving on the board for three years.
"During the quarter, Immunovaccine also announced an important research collaboration to advance the Phase II clinical development of its lead immunotherapy, DPX-Survivac. In July of this year, the National Cancer Institute of Canada's Clinical Trials Group (NCIC CTG) agreed to sponsor and conduct a randomized Phase II trial with DPX-Survivac in ovarian cancer patients. This follows additional collaboration news from the second quarter which announced that the University of Rome has agreed to lead a multi-center Phase II DPX-Survivac trial in glioblastoma (brain cancer) patients.
"These clinical development milestones strengthen Immunovaccine's position as a key player in the fast-changing world of cancer immunotherapy."

About Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer accounts for more deaths than any other gynecologic cancer. Symptoms do not occur until it is in the later stages of the disease, reducing the chance for successful treatment and remission. It kills more than 100,000 women annually around the world. Improved surgical techniques have helped to reduce the rate of recurrence according to some studies, but the average life expectancy of newly diagnosed ovarian cancer patients is less than four years.
About Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma, the most common form of brain cancer, is a fast-growing tumor type that develops from astrocytes, a type of glial cell present in the brain. The National Cancer Institute estimates that more than 23,000 Americans will be diagnosed with brain and other nervous system tumors in 2013. Glioblastoma accounts for approximately 15 percent of all brain tumors. The current standard of care for glioblastoma patients calls for patients to receive maximum surgical resection combined with radiation and concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide therapy. Newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients have a median overall survival of less than 24 months.
