Tovaxin, radiation-attenuated, patient-specific T-cells for the therapeutic vaccination of multiple sclerosis.

Opexa Pharmaceuticals Inc is developing Tovaxin, a trivalent formulation of attenuated myelin-peptide-reactive T-cells, for the potential treatment of multiple sclerosis. Tovaxin is being evaluated in phase II clinical trials. Opexa was previously investigating Tovaxin for the potential treatment of rheumatoid arthritis; however, no development has been reported for this indication since December 2002.
