ICT-107 is currently in a randomized phase II clinical trial at multiple centers in the US. Company is also developing two additional products targeting CSCs in tumors via modulating immune system. ICT107 is a new generation dendritic cell-based therapeutic vaccine that consists of a number of specific tumor antigens which, when loaded onto the dendritic cells, are expected to stimulate the body's T cells to target only these specific proteins on the patient's tumor cells. This is accomplished by extracting dendritic cells from a patient, loading them with the antigens, and reintroducing them to the patient's body to trigger an immune response. ICT107 is being developed in the form of intradermal injection as a therapeutic vaccine for glioblastoma multiforme. Shares nearly touched the 200 day moving average before pulling back in afternoon trading. Prices for the equity are currently -39.22 % from their previous 52-Wk High ($ 2.55).
