HORIZON 2020 GRANT SUPPORTED MENDUS IN ESTABLISHING A STRONG EUROPEAN RESEARCH AND CLINICAL NETWORK FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF DCP-001 IN AML

 

Mendus AB (“Mendus” publ; IMMU.ST), a biopharmaceutical company focused on immunotherapies addressing tumor recurrence, today announced that it will receive EUR 1.69 million (approximately SEK 18 million) as the final grant payment from the Horizon 2020-funded AML-VACCiN project. All requirements for the final tranche have been fulfilled, bringing the total financial contribution from the European Commission to EUR 6.0 million for the project as a whole. As a result of the project completion, Mendus is now entitled to receive its final payment under the project.

“The Horizon 2020 AML-VACCiN project has significantly strengthened the European network and the development of expertise supporting the clinical development of DCP-001 as a novel immunotherapy for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML)”, commented Erik Manting, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Mendus. “The ongoing ADVANCE II trial is a direct result of this high-quality consortium and will continue to deliver data, with a comprehensive survival data update expected in December 2022. We are thankful to all the contributors and Stichting VUmc as the coordinator of AML-VACCiN.”

The AML-VACCiN project was initiated in January 2016 and involved more than 10 industry and academic partners from several European countries.
