Tom Davis, M.D., the company's Chief Medical Officer, said, ''Dosing the first patients with our GEN-009 vaccine represents a significant milestone for Genocea. Importantly, our GEN-009 vaccines use our ATLAS™ platform for neoantigen identification. Unlike machine-based approaches that predict neoantigens and only evaluate the patient's tumor, ATLAS also uses each patient's own immune cells not only to identify true neoantigens that already trigger anti-tumor cytokine responses, but also to eliminate 'inhibitory' antigens that are frequently selected for vaccine inclusion by such in silico approaches.''
