Since posting last night I have taken some time to read through some posts this morning and it would appear people are losing site of why they invested in Imugene. They are indeed questioning their investment in Imugene. I then started to scroll back through my own notes. In doing so myself took some time out to revisit a post I wrote in early January 2022 when the share price was 36 cents. I had penned 50 reasons why I at the time thought an old client of mine, a sophisticated investor, should consider an investment in IMU. It's interesting when I look back at my rationale and reasoning then, I see nothings changed, other than the fact Imugene has continued to grow fundamentally. Added to which investors are now on the cusp of results from both CF33 Check Vacc and Vaxinia, with the signs looking extremely positive. The solid tumour market continues to grow, no-one has of yet conquered the holy grail of cancer research as it is, and Imugene has moved even a step closer to doing so their Oncarlytics platform.
Since penning these 50 points in early 2022 we have cleared three cohorts of patients safely in the OV trials, both in IT and IV, Oncarlytics has produced excellent pre clinical results in up to 3 different studies with 3 different Car T and allogenic therapy companies including Amgen, where significant tumour killing was present.The Oncarlytics platform has successfully obtained an FDA Approval to commence in human trial in combination with the Big Pharma Amgen's drug
Blinatumomab, sold under the brand name Blincyto. Professor Yuman Fong has been on US TV stating he is convinced one day Vaxinia shall become human therapy in combination with many other therapies, to meet the huge unmet need that is eradicating solid tumours in cancer patients, present in up to 90 percent of all cancers. Her vacs has been shown to extend life even further over the SOC Chemotherapy than was the situation in early January 2021, and PD1 Vaxx has received an approval to trial in combination with Tercentriq, a successful Roche drug. And a US patent to boot. Oh and did I mention Vaxinia is already in combination with Keytruda, Merck's blockbuster, at close to Vaxinia's optimal biological dose rate with whispers of a few complete responses in the trial? In fact CF33 and Vaxinia founder Professor Yuman Fong YF has gone as far as to say "everything we saw in animals we are now seeing in humans". He has even gone as far to say "we are seeing unequivocal signs of cancer killing in humans".
Are things much better then they were in January 2022 when I penned these 50 points? Of course they are. Yes the company management could have handled some issues better. Yes a bit more financial and strategic direction is needed. But make no mistake, this is fundamentally a sound investment with runs already on the board and huge potential.

Oh and yes I believe my old client did invest in IMU on his own accord, based on his own research. He rang me the other day and said how far away I thought pay day would be. I said we are getting closer with Vaxinia, and that I'd call him for a chat about it toward the end of June. He said thanks mate, from all I've read they look as if they are on the way to something big. "It all looks promising" he said. I would have to concur.
