EVERY PATIENT
DESERVES A VOICE
At Immunomic Therapeutics, Inc. (ITI), we are
pioneering the study of nucleic acid immunotherapy
platforms with a goal of improving cancer treatments.
Immunomic Therapeutics main focus is investigating dendritic
cell vaccination for Glioblastoma (GBM), a rare and devastating
brain cancer that affects more than 13,000 people annually.
Learn more about our ATTAC-II Clinical Trial (Phase II) for newly
diagnosed Glioblastoma Mulitforme (www.clinicaltrials.gov) or
go to www.immunomix.com.
We are also applying our nucleic acid vaccine platform for next
generation GBM therapies and developing it to address other
cancers, including those driven by viruses.
At ITI, we are dedicated to supporting patients. With our
efforts in GBM, we offer travel assistance for patients enrolling
in the ATTAC-II trial (NCT02465268). The coverage includes
all travel expenses for each patient and a caregiver for the
duration of the treatment (including airfare, rental car, and
hotel accommodations).
TOGETHER, OUR VOICE BECOMES STRONGER

“Hope can be a powerful force.
Maybe there’s no actual magic in it,
but when you know what you hope
for most and hold it like a light within you,
you can make things happen,
almost like magic.” — LAINI TAYLOR
