VANCOUVER, BC — January 15, 2026 — Leads & Copy — BioVaxys Technology Corp. (CSE:BIOV) (FRA: 5LB) (OTCQB: BVAXF) has announced an update on its 1Q2026 initiatives, which include collaborations and non-dilutive funding programs.
The company is participating in a Request for Information (RFI) solicitation from the US Government’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) for transformative ‘New Vaccine Platforms’ to enable efficient development timelines for emerging infectious disease threats. BARDA’s mission is to accelerate medical countermeasure product and technology development for pandemic influenza, emerging infectious diseases, and other biological threats.
The RFI is a precursor to a Request for Proposal (RFP), issued after BARDA assesses novel vaccine platforms submitted during the RFI process. BioVaxys aims to ensure its DPX platform’s capabilities are considered when BARDA designs the development program needs for the RFP.
BioVaxys has initiated discussions for a vaccine development collaboration with a United Nations-chartered international organization focused on the discovery, development, and delivery of safe, effective, and affordable vaccines for global health initiatives. The organization has a research budget of nearly US$120M and is working to address unmet needs for Shigella, Hep B, Influenza, RSV, Rotavirus, ZIKA, HPV, and other globally critical pathogens.
Kenneth Kovan, BioVaxys President and Chief Operating Officer, noted that the attributes of the DPX platform, such as duration of immune-activity, single-dose non-systemic delivery, shelf stability, and micro-dosing capabilities, are attractive to the organization’s vaccine development efforts. The company anticipates further developments in the coming weeks as discussions continue.
BioVaxys is also working with a prospective partner in the animal health field to advance a research collaboration for a proof-of-product program to evaluate a DPX™ formulation of a proprietary mRNA sequence for diseases requiring long-duration protection, such as rabies. The study design and timelines for a DPX-mRNA rabies vaccine program are currently being reviewed, with a protocol announcement expected soon.
The company says it’s already established that DPX provides enhanced in vitro and in vivo stability of packaged mRNA, attracts a therapeutically unique subset of Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs) to the injection site for targeted uptake of mRNA by the immune system, and that immunization with DPX containing mRNA induces specific immune responses towards encoded antigen. Gaining additional preclinical data with a DPX-mRNA rabies formulation expands the pipeline and is expected to open new partnering discussions in the human mRNA vaccine space.
BioVaxys recently announced positive results from a phase 1 clinical study of MVP-S with neoadjuvant hormone therapy in HR+ / HER2- stage II-III breast cancer, and positive Phase 1 study results with their DPX-SurMAGE and maveropepimut-S (MVP-S) cancer vaccines in patients with multiple previous recurrences of high grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), where treatment with either MVP-S or DPX-SurMAGE was shown to be well tolerated with both products inducing significant systemic antigen-specific T cell responses.
After an average two years of follow-up post-treatment, many of these high-grade NIMBC patients were free of recurrence. This simple and well tolerated approach may be a valuable alternative to the many intravesical and systemic treatments currently being developed.
BioVaxys is reviewing data with Principal Investigators from an additional phase 1B/2 clinical study with MVP-S in a different formulation combination and anticipates results in the upcoming weeks.
The BioVaxys DPX platform is a major innovation in vaccine development that offers a solution to limitations faced by vaccines using other antigen delivery methods. The DPX platform presents antigens to the immune system using a novel non-systemic mechanism of action that does not release active ingredients at the site of the injection but rather forces an active uptake of immune cells and delivery into the lymphatic nodes. The programming of immune cells happens in vivo and offers a more efficient approach that mimics the natural function of the immune system. This “no release” mechanism allows for an active uptake of antigens into immune cells and lymph nodes for a sustained activation of the immune system in which the T cell flow is sustained over a longer duration than traditional vaccines on the market.
About BioVaxys Technology Corp.
BioVaxys Technology Corp. (www.biovaxys.com), is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving patient lives with novel immunotherapies based on the DPX™ immune-educating technology platform and it’s HapTenix© tumor cell construct platform, for treating cancers, infectious disease, antigen desensitization for food allergy, and other immunological diseases.
Through a differentiated mechanism of action, the DPX™ platform delivers instruction to the immune system to generate a specific, robust, and persistent immune response. The Company’s clinical stage pipeline includes maveropepimut-S (MVP-S), based on the DPX™ platform, in phase IIB clinical development for advanced Relapsed-Refractory Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) and platinum resistant Ovarian Cancer. MVP-S delivers antigenic peptides from the Survivin family, a set of well-recognized cancer antigens commonly overexpressed in advanced cancers and also delivers an innate immune activator and a universal CD4+ T cell helper peptide.
MVP-S has been well tolerated and has demonstrated defined clinical benefit in multiple cancer indications as well as the activation of a targeted and sustained, Survivin-specific anti-tumor immune response. BioVaxys is also developing DPX™+SurMAGE, a dual-targeted immunotherapy combining antigenic peptides for both the Survivin and MAGE-A9 cancer proteins to elicit immune responses to these two distinct cancer antigens simultaneously, DPX™-RSV for Respiratory Syncytial Virus, DPX+rPA for peanut allergy prophylaxis, and BVX-0918, a personalized immunotherapeutic vaccine using its proprietary HapTenix© ‘neoantigen’ tumor cell construct platform for refractive late-stage ovarian cancer.
BioVaxys common shares are listed on the CSE under the stock symbol “BIOV” and trade on the Frankfurt Bourse (FSE: 5LB0) and in the U.S. on the OTC Markets (OTCQB: BVAXF).
