About OncoSec Medical Inc.
OncoSec Medical Inc. is a
biopharmaceutical company developing its advanced-stage ImmunoPulse
immunotherapy to treat solid tumors. OncoSec Medical’s core technology
leverages a proprietary electroporation platform to enhance the local
delivery and uptake of IL-12 and other DNA-based immune-modulating
agents. Clinical studies of ImmunoPulse have demonstrated positive
safety and preliminary efficacy in the treatment of various skin
cancers, as well as the potential to initiate a systemic immune response
without the toxicities associated with other systemic treatments.
OncoSec’s clinical programs currently include three Phase 2 trials
targeting metastatic melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma and cutaneous
T-cell lymphoma (http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=oncosec&Search=Search).
As the company continues to evaluate ImmunoPulse in these indications,
it is also investigating additional indications and efficacious
combination approaches. For more information, please visit www.oncosec.com.
