Immuno-oncology (I-O) company Elicio Therapeutics has launched with a $30 million financing to treat a range of cancers with a new vaccine and immunotherapy platform.

The US company will develop precision vaccines, immune-stimulators and cellular therapies based on the work of Darrell Irvine from Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Elicio claims that its Amphiphile platform is the first that enables precise targeting and delivery of immunogens directly to the lymphatic system, substantially enhancing the body’s own system of immune defences, with the aim of achieving durable cures.
