BioVaxys Presents Further MVP-S Validation Data (May 1): Robust Immune Response with Checkpoint Inhibitor + Low-Dose Cyclophosphamide in Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

BioVaxys presented additional validation data on May 1 supporting its MVP-S DPX-formulated five-peptide survivin vaccine in combination with checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab and low-dose cyclophosphamide in recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer. The new data extends the immune-response readout from the PESCO Phase 1B/2 program and reinforces the clinical case heading into the company's accepted ASCO 2026 abstract presentation (May 29–June 6, Chicago). MVP-S sits alongside Bicycle Therapeutics' Duravelo-2, BriaCell's Bria-IMT, Greenwich's GP2, Immutep's eftilagimod alfa, and Pfizer's 40+ oncology abstracts on the ASCO 2026 peptide-and-immuno-oncology slate.
