Vaccinex Vaccinex is pioneering a differentiated approach to treating cancer & neurodegenerative diseases.

Vaccinex (NASDAQ: VCNX) is a clinical stage biotechnology company pioneering a differentiated approach to treating cancer and progressive neurodegenerative diseases through the inhibition of semaphorin 4D (SEMA4D). The Company’s lead drug candidate, pepinemab, blocks SEMA4D, a potent biological effector that it believes prevents immune infiltration into tumors and triggers damaging inflammation in

chronic diseases of the brain. Pepinemab is being evaluated in a Phase 1b/2 study in recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer and in a Phase 1/2a study in Alzheimer’s Disease, with ongoing exploration of potential Phase 3 development in Huntington’s disease. The Company has also developed a proprietary drug discovery platform, ActivMAb®, that it is leveraging thru strategic collaborations, particularly by exploiting its unique capability to select high value antibodies against important multi-pass membrane receptors.

Vaccinex is advancing pepinemab into Phase 2b clinical trials, exploring a new direction in Alzheimer’s treatment.
Unlike amyloid-targeting therapies, pepinemab focuses on astrocyte-driven neuroinflammation—an upstream mechanism linked to synaptic damage and cognitive decline.
This pathway-based approach could complement existing treatments and reshape how neurodegenerative diseases are addressed.


Pepinemab Alzheimer’s drug trial data showed no brain-swelling risk at AAIC 2026, as Vaccinex presented SIGNAL-AD biomarker findings and announced plans for a Phase 2b randomized trial of its SEMA4D antibody — a neuroinflammation-targeted approach that works differently from approved amyloid

Vaccinex will be at in London, UK (July 12–15, 2026).
Join us for our presentation on Monday, July 13 (9:00–10:30 AM) in the Featured Research Session “Alzheimer’s Therapy: Mechanisms Beyond Amyloid.”
We’ll be discussing biomarkers of reactive glia and neuroinflammation associated with cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease progression. Pepinemab is a novel approach designed to interrupt these events in early-stage AD.
Stop by to learn more—we look forward to connecting!

Vaccinex is advancing development of pepinemab, an anti-SEMA4D antibody, in an enlarged Phase 2b clinical trial for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
Evidence suggests that Pepinemab:
• Blocks reactive gliosis contributing to neuroinflammation
• Preserves vascular integrity in brain
• Downregulates expression of AD-related proteins
Clinical and multiomics data support that treatment early in disease has favorable effects on biomarkers and appears to slow cognitive decline.
We welcome the opportunity to connect at AAIC.

Research featuring Vaccinex’s anti-SEMA4D antibody pepinemab was highlighted in a top 10% most-viewed Alzheimer’s & Dementia paper of 2024, published on behalf of the . The publication highlights emerging advances in neuroimmunity, including SEMA4D signaling, glial biology, and neuroinflammatory mechanisms in Alzheimer’s disease.

The recognition reflects growing momentum behind targeting SEMA4D-driven neuroinflammation and glial dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease.

We look forward to joining the conversation at .
