Atlanta, GA - (NewMediaWire) - March 11, 2019 - GeoVax Labs, Inc. (OTCQB: GOVX), a biotechnology company developing human vaccines and immunotherapies using its novel viral vector platform technology, today provided an update on its progress and development programs.David Dodd, GeoVax President and CEO, commented, “We continue to advance GeoVax’s development programs on multiple fronts with an expanding list of world-class government, academic and corporate collaborators, as further described in this update. I am pleased with what the GeoVax team has accomplished during 2018 and so far in 2019, but I also recognize that our constrained capital resources continue to limit our ability to meaningfully advance our products as rapidly as we would like. Going forward, we will continue to evaluate options to secure the capital needed to proceed with our business plan, especially to advance further programs into human clinical testing. We view this as critical to our overall corporate development and enhancement of shareholder value. I remain highly optimistic about the future of our company and I look forward to sharing additional news in the coming months. All of us at GeoVax wish to thank our shareholders for their continued support as GeoVax progresses toward a status of having multiple clinical programs underway, addressing various infectious diseases and cancer indications, having a capital structure that supports continued execution of our strategy and business plan.”A few highlights from 2018 and early 2019 include:Immuno-oncology - A Promising and Expanding Program. We began 2018 with a single program in this area (tumor-associated MUC1 vaccines) supported by two collaborations (University of Pittsburgh and ViaMune) and that work is continuing to expand and advance. During 2018, we added four more collaborations to expand our footprint in this space -- with Vaxeal Holding SA (Cyclin B1 tumor-associated antigen), Emory University (HPV-related head and neck cancers), Virometix AG (also for HPV-related cancers), and Leidos, Inc. (multiple potential cancer targets). We believe immuno-oncology to be important for the future of GeoVax and we intend to vigorously pursue development of these programs. Raising sufficient capital will be key to rapidly advancing in this area.Defense Department Grant - Our First Entrée into the U.S. Government Biodefense System. In September the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) awarded us a $2.4 million grant to support our Lassa Fever vaccine program. The DoD will also fund testing of our vaccine by U.S. Army scientists at USAMRIID under a separate sub-award. This grant represented an important advance by GeoVax into the critical area of biodefense which we believe represents a significant growth area for the application of our technology and expertise.HIV “Cure” Program - New, Exciting Possibilities. Our collaboration with American Gene Technologies International, Inc. (AGT), for use of our vaccine in combination with AGT’s gene therapy for development of a functional cure for HIV, is on track to enter a Phase 1 trial sponsored by AGT. AGT anticipates starting the trial during the second half of 2019. We are also in discussions with two other consortiums for the possible use of our vaccine in similar efforts toward developing a cure for HIV infection. We expect that one or both of these studies may begin in late 2019 or early 2020.HIV “Prevention” Program - Continued Progress with NIH Support. In October, positive results from HVTN 114, a phase 1 trial of our preventive HIV vaccine, were presented at the HIVR4P conference in Madrid. The clinical trial program for our preventive HIV vaccine continues to be supported by the NIH and the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN), with the next study (HVTN 132) expected to commence later this year. Furthermore, during President Trump’s recent State of the Union address, he committed to pursuing the elimination of HIV within the next decade. We view our preventive vaccine developments as being critical and core to this initiative.NIH Support for ...
