Allowed patent covers technology designed to elicit an AMHR2-specific immune response for the prevention or treatment of ovarian cancer

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Anixa Biosciences, Inc. ("Anixa" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:ANIX), a biotechnology company focused on the treatment and prevention of cancer, today announced that the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) has issued a Notice of Allowance for a patent covering key aspects of Anixa's ovarian cancer vaccine technology.

The allowed patent, exclusively licensed from Cleveland Clinic, includes methods of administering an immunogenic composition comprising a nucleic acid encoding the anti-Müllerian hormone receptor 2 (AMHR2) polypeptide to elicit an AMHR2-specific immune response to prevent or treat ovarian cancer.

Anixa's ovarian cancer vaccine, being developed in a collaboration between Cleveland Clinic and the National Cancer Institute (NCI), represents a novel approach to preventing and treating ovarian cancer, particularly among high-risk populations such as those carrying BRCA mutations or with a family history of the disease.

The Canadian Notice of Allowance expands the international scope of Anixa's intellectual property portfolio around its ovarian cancer vaccine technology and complements the Company's existing patent protection in the United States. In July 2025, Anixa announced the issuance of U.S. Patent Number 12,357,593 covering key aspects of its ovarian cancer vaccine technology, including broad claims related to methods of eliciting an immune response targeting AMHR2.
