SEATTLE, June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TapImmune, Inc. (OTCQB: TPIV), a clinical stage cancer immunotherapy company, and its institutional investors have reached an agreement whereby the institutional investors will have the option to exercise their short term warrants to provide the Company up to $4.93M in near term funding, pending closing conditions and an effective S-1 registration statement. Under the restructured terms and subject to certain market conditions, the Company may also call additional warrants which could result in a larger influx of capital to fund the Company through its Phase 2 programs.
The Company recently announced positive Phase 1 clinical data from its Folate Receptor Alpha trial in triple negative breast and ovarian cancer. This trial demonstrated the experimental therapy was safe, well-tolerated and provided a robust immune response. Data from the Folate Receptor Alpha trial and the HER2Neu Phase 1 trial are very encouraging and a further data release from the Her2neu breast cancer Phase 1 trial is expected shortly. The infusion of capital from the exercise of the series B and C warrants will ensure the Company will complete the planned Phase 2 trial program.
Dr. Glynn Wilson stated "The financing we completed early this year was designed to provide capital as the Company progressed through a series of warrants. The restructuring of the warrants should provide the additional capital necessary to move the Company's clinical programs into Phase 2."
The Company and members of the Mayo clinical team attended: 2015 ASCO Annual Meeting, May 29 to June 2, in Chicago. Data from the Phase 1 trials was submitted and published in abstract form http://meetinglibrary.asco.org/content/148110-156. The team expects that the full schedule of meetings with key opinion leaders and industry executives will be extremely helpful in fine tuning the Phase 2 pathways for its leading candidates.
A conference call (http://services.choruscall.com/links/tpiv150603.html) is scheduled for Wednesday June 3rd at 11:00 AM EDT to present investors with an overall corporate update and further discuss the restructuring of the Company's finances.
