Pepinemab appears to be well-tolerated with a favorable safety profile in multiple clinical trials in different neurological and cancer indications.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About\u00a0Vaccinex Inc.\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Vaccinex, Inc. is pioneering a differentiated approach to treating slowly progressive neurodegenerative diseases and cancer through the inhibition of semaphorin 4D (SEMA4D). The Company\u2019s lead drug candidate, pepinemab, blocks SEMA4D, a potent biological effector that it believes triggers damaging inflammation in chronic diseases of the brain and prevents infiltration and activation of immune cells in tumors. Pepinemab is being studied as a monotherapy in the Phase 1b\/2 SIGNAL-AD study in Alzheimer\u2019s Disease, and the Company has previously published promising Phase 2 data in Huntington\u2019s disease. In oncology, pepinemab is being evaluated in combination with KEYTRUDA\u00ae\u00a0in the Phase 1b\/2 KEYNOTE-B84 study in recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer (HNSCC) and in combination with BAVENCIO\u00ae in a Phase 1b\/2 study in patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The oncology clinical program also includes several investigator-sponsored studies in solid tumors including breast cancer and melanoma.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Vaccinex\u00a0has global commercial and development rights to pepinemab and is the sponsor of the KEYNOTE-B84 study which is being performed in collaboration with\u00a0Merck Sharp &amp; Dohme Corp, a subsidiary of Merck and Co, Inc.\u00a0 Kenilworth, NJ, USA.\u00a0Additional information about the study is available at:\u00a0clinicaltrials.gov.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">KEYTRUDA is a registered trademark of Merck Sharp &amp; Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck &amp; Co.
