About Replimune Replimune, headquartered in Woburn, MA, was founded in 2015 to develop the next generation of “oncolytic immunotherapies” for the treatment of cancer. Replimune is developing novel, proprietary therapeutics intended to improve the direct cancer-killing effects of selective virus replication and the potency of the immune response to the tumor antigens released. Replimune’s Immulytic™ platform is designed to maximize systemic immune activation, in particular to tumor neoantigens, through robust viral mediated immunogenic tumor cell killing and the delivery of optimal combinations of immune activating proteins to the tumor and draining lymph nodes. The approach is expected to be highly synergistic with immune checkpoint blockade and other approaches to cancer treatment. Replimune is rapidly advancing these therapies into clinical development in combination with other immuno-oncology products with complementary mechanisms of action.
