Anixa's Breast Cancer Vaccine Advances to Phase 2 After Positive Phase 1 Results

For a small-cap biotech, successful clinical progression is a material positive catalyst, validating the vaccine's potential and providing a strong signal to the market. Investors will now focus on the initiation and subsequent data from the Phase 2 trial.
