US immuno-oncology company Elicio Therapeutics has raised $33 million through a Series B financing round to advance ELI-002, an Amphiphile mKRAS vaccine (AMP KRAS), and other lymph node targeted immuno-therapies.

Elicio Therapeutics said that it has established an international investor base which includes Clal Biotechnology Industries, Efung Capital, and Livzon Pharmaceutical Group.

According to the US immuno-oncology company, ELI-002 targets all the seven KRAS mutations that are behind 99% of all mKRAS-driven cancers, which are estimated to amount to 25% of all human solid tumors.

The AMP KRAS vaccine has gone through preclinical validation, IND-enabling GLP toxicology studies, GMP manufacturing, and also a pre-IND meeting with the FDA.

Robert Connelly – CEO of Elicio Therapeutics said: “We believe ELI-002 can become a universal mKRAS vaccine with the potential to treat and prevent disease recurrence for hundreds of thousands of patients with mKRAS-driven cancers, including pancreatic, colorectal and lung cancer.
