A copy of the press release of Advaxis, Inc. (the “Company”) dated June 1, 2015 relating to the announcement discussed in Item 8.01 below is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

 

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On June 1, 2015, the Company announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had cleared the Investigational New Drug application to conduct a Phase 2 clinical study of ADXS-HPV (ADXS11-001) alone or in combination with Incyte Corporation's investigational oral indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) inhibitor, epacadostat (INCB24360), for the treatment of Stage I-IIIb human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cervical cancer. The proposed Phase 2 protocol is designed as a multicenter, open-label, preoperative window-study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ADXS-HPV as monotherapy and in combination with epacadostat in approximately 30 patients with Stage I-IIIb HPV-associated cervical cancer. The results will be used to determine whether further clinical development of this combination is warranted.
