The data highlight advances from Brenus Pharma's proprietary Stimulated-Tumor-Ghost Cell (SGC) platform, a next-generation precision immuno-oncology approach showcasing its potential to initiate a robust anti-tumor response in colorectal cancer—a major unmet need in solid tumors.
Key findings demonstrate the reproducibility of STC-1010's anti-tumor profile across multiple manufacturing batches and preclinical models (in vivo, in ovo, ex vivo) including those modified to be resistant to current immunotherapies. Dendritic cells showed increased antigen presentation and activation of CD8⁺ T cells with STC-1010, resulting in significant tumor cell apoptosis (tumor killing) and reduced metastasis.
'Immunotherapy was clearly a central focus at AACR 2025, with growing recognition across the scientific community that cancer vaccines are now a promising strategy for both treatment and prevention.' said George Alzeeb, PhD, Innovation Manager at Brenus Pharma. 'We're proud to be part of this momentum and look forward to the next steps.'

Securities Fraud Investigation Into AVITA Medical, Inc. (RCEL) Announced – Investors Who Lost Money Urged To Contact The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz announces an investigation of AVITA Medical, Inc. ('Avita' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: RCEL) on behalf of investors concerning the Company's possible violations of federal securities laws. IF YOU ARE AN INVESTOR WHO LOST MONEY ON AVITA MEDICAL, INC. (RCEL), CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING A CLAIM TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS. What Is The Investigation About? On August 7, 2025, Avita released its second quarter 2025 financial results, revealing 'a six-month backlog in unpaid provider claims for Recell procedures impacted first-half demand.' The Company explained that contractors assigned by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to determine pricing of the Company's wound care product, Recell, 'neither assigned a price or assigned an inadequate price and failed to adjudicate claims in a timely manner.' As a result, 'claims accumulated from January through June, creating a significant backlog of unpaid claims and inadequately paid claims to providers for RECELL procedures. This lack of resolution created uncertainty among providers regarding payment expectations and timelines, which led to a reduction in RECELL utilization during the first half of the year.' On this news, Avita's stock price fell $1.13, or 21%, to close at $4.25 per share on August 8, 2025, thereby injuring investors.
