Elicio -Model ELI-008 -Multivalent Lymph Node–Targeted AMP Peptide Vaccine
ELI-008 is a multivalent lymph node–targeted AMP peptide vaccine developed to target p53 hotspot mutations. p53 is a tumor-suppressing protein that controls the cell cycle, DNA replication, and uncontrolled cell division during tumor growth.4 Mutations in the p53 protein lead to uncontrolled tumor progression and growth.4 Similar to Kristen rat sarcoma (KRAS), p53 mutations are present in a broad spectrum of cancer types, accounting for approximately 30% of solid tumors. We designed ELI-008 to target p53 hotspot mutations in solid tumor cancers, including melanoma, CRC, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
