TG4001
TG4001 is a therapeutic vaccine
designed to express HPV-16 antigens
TG4001 is an innovative therapy capable of combating papillomavirus-induced cancers.
The concept behind TG4001 is to teach the immune system to recognise and destroy the cancer cells expressing HPV-16 antigens, specifically E6 and E7 antigens.
TG4001 is being evaluated in a Phase II study which aims to show superiority of the therapeutic cancer vaccine in combination with avelumab compared to avelumab alone in patients with HPV16-positive anogenital tumors without liver metastases.
