Replimune's proprietary RPx platform is based on a potent HSV-1 backbone with added payloads intended to maximize immunogenic cell
death and the induction of a systemic anti-tumor immune response. The RPx platform is intended to provide a unique dual local and systemic
mechanism of action consisting of direct selective virus-mediated killing of the tumor resulting in the release of tumor derived antigens
and altering of the tumor microenvironment to ignite a strong and durable systemic response. This MOA is expected to be synergistic with
most established and experimental cancer treatment modalities, and, with an attractive safety profile the RPx platform has the versatility
to be developed alone or combined with a variety of other treatment options. For more information, please visit www.replimune.com.
