GeoVax Labs, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of vaccines and immunotherapies addressing high-consequence infectious diseases and solid tumor cancers. GeoVax’s priority program is GEO-MVA, a Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vaccine targeting mpox and smallpox. The program is advancing under an expedited regulatory pathway, with plans to initiate a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in the Fourth Quarter of 2026, to address critical global needs for expanded orthopoxvirus vaccine supply and biodefense preparedness.
In oncology, GeoVax is developing Gedeptin®, a gene-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (GDEPT) designed to destroy solid tumors by the local generation of a potent cytotoxic agent within treated tumors while also enhancing immune checkpoint inhibitor activity against both treated and untreated tumors. Gedeptin has completed a multicenter Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating its use as monotherapy in advanced head and neck cancer. Combination strategies, including neoadjuvant and first-line settings of Gedeptin, in combination with other cancer treatment modalities, are being evaluated. GeoVax maintains a global intellectual property portfolio supporting its infectious disease and oncology programs and continues to evaluate strategic partnerships and funding opportunities aligned with its development priorities.
