Oslo, 26 June 2026 – Zelluna (OSE: ZLNA), a company pioneering allogeneic "off-the-shelf" T Cell Receptor-based Natural Killer (TCR-NK) cell therapies for the treatment of solid cancers, today announces that the NSGO-CTU sponsored Phase II DOVACC clinical trial (NCT04742075) investigating the Ultimovacs UV1 cancer vaccine, inherited through the business combination between the two companies in 2025, did not meet the primary endpoint. This concludes the previously communicated wrap-up phase of the UV1 cancer vaccine programme and Zelluna now considers the programme closed.

Oslo, 26. juni 2026 – Zelluna (OSE: ZLNA), et selskap som utvikler allogene "off-the-shelf" T-cellereseptor-baserte NK-celler (TCR-NK) for behandling av solide kreftformer, kunngjør i dag at den NSGO-CTU sponsede fase II DOVACC kliniske studie (NCT04742075) som testet Ultimovacs' UV1 kreftvaksine ikke oppnådde sitt primære endepunkt om å forbedre progresjonsfri overlevelse (PFS). UV1 ble overtatt gjennom virksomhetssammenslåingen mellom de to selskapene i 2025. Dette avslutter den tidligere kommuniserte avviklingsfasen av UV1-kreftvaksine-programmet, og Zelluna anser nå programmet som avsluttet.
