- AVAX Technologies, Inc. AVAX Technologies, Inc. (AVXT) is a development-stage biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of autologous cell (AC) vaccine technologies for cancer immunotherapy. The company offers core product candidates including MVax, an immunotherapy vaccine for post-surgical treatment of stage III/IV melanoma that has completed phase III clinical trials and demonstrated a 44% five-year overall survival rate in prior studies; OVax, a phase I/II vaccine for relapsed stage III/IV ovarian cancer with median survival of 22.7 months reported in 2016; and LungVax for non-small cell lung cancer, alongside contract biological manufacturing services for other biopharmaceutical firms. Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with historical operations in Kansas and France, AVAX Technologies targets oncology markets primarily in the United States and serves patients with life-threatening cancers through individualized therapies. Recent developments include maintenance of its phase III MVax trial status under FDA Special Protocol Assessment, ongoing listings on OTC markets as of 2025, and no major acquisitions, partnerships, or funding rounds announced in the past 1-2 years, reflecting its continued emphasis on immuno-oncology pipeline advancement amid a dormant commercial stage.
