About GlobeImmune, Inc.
GlobeImmune is a biopharmaceutical company pioneering the discovery,
development, and manufacturing of potent, targeted molecular
immunotherapies called Tarmogens® for the treatment of cancer and
infectious diseases. GI-5005, GlobeImmune's lead product for the treatment
of chronic hepatitis C infection, is currently finishing a phase 1b trial
in which interim data for the first four dose cohorts have been analyzed
and show both safety and positive clinical responses. Additionally,
GI-4000 for the treatment of mutated Ras-mediated cancers is currently in a
phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of pancreas cancer.
About Tarmogens
Tarmogens® (Targeted molecular immunogens) are whole, heat-killed S.
cerevisiae yeast, genetically modified to express high concentrations of
one or more disease-related proteins. Tarmogens are designed to reprogram
the human immune system to eliminate disease cells by linking the body's
innate immune response (a non-specific danger response) with an
antigen-specific T cell response. Because Tarmogens look dangerous to the
immune system, they initiate a chain of events that end with presentation
of disease-specific antigens and activation of both helper and killer T
cells. The Tarmogen platform has been shown to be active and well
tolerated in clinical trials in both cancer and infectious disease.
