Readout from Legacy Ultimovacs DOVACC Phase II Trial Concludes UV1 Programme as Previously Guided

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

Oslo, 26 June 2026 – Zelluna (OSE: ZLNA), a company pioneering allogeneic “off-the-shelf” T Cell Receptor-based Natural Killer (TCR-NK) cell therapies for the treatment of solid cancers, today announces that the NSGO-CTU sponsored Phase II DOVACC clinical trial (NCT04742075) investigating the Ultimovacs UV1 cancer vaccine, inherited through the business combination between the two companies in 2025, did not meet the primary endpoint. This concludes the previously communicated wrap-up phase of the UV1 cancer vaccine programme and Zelluna now considers the programme closed.

Highlights:

  • UV1 is a legacy asset originating from Ultimovacs, acquired through the 2025 business combination, and has been in a wrap-up phase; the Company is focused entirely on the TCR-NK platform and lead candidate ZI-MA4-1
  • The investigator-led Phase II DOVACC study evaluating UV1 in BRCAwt platinum sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer did not meet its primary endpoint of progression free survival (PFS)
  • The DOVACC readout represents the final Phase II outcome for the UV1 programme; all five Phase II studies evaluating UV1 did not meet their primary endpoints
  • Aside from minimal costs associated with completing the remaining study close-out activities, Zelluna does not expect to incur any further material costs related to the UV1 programme which is now considered concluded.

Background and results

The DOVACC trial tested the cancer vaccine UV1 in patients with BRCAwt platinum sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer. The goal was to assess whether UV1, given alongside two established cancer medicines, could slow disease progression better than standard treatment alone.

The DOVACC readout represents the fifth Phase II study evaluating UV1 that has not met its primary endpoint.
