Cuban Medicine with New Vaccine against Tumors
Monday, July 9, 2018



Havana.- Experts from the Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Center (CIGB) are working on the development of a new therapeutic vaccine, called Savax, against solid tumors.

In this regard, the aforementioned drug is in the second trial phase to check its efficacy on ovarian and hepatic tumors.

According to health sector sources, in order to reach this stage, the effect of the vaccine was researched in a group of 30 patients in advanced stages and with very limited life expectancy.

As a result, almost five years later, the increase in life expectancy of these patients and even the total reduction of tumors in four of them was confirmed.

The center also works on new formulations of Heberprot-P, as well as a synthetic peptide to treat cardiac ischemia, a drug for rheumatoid arthritis and a treatment for cerebral ischemia.
