"About 20,000 patients are diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor each year in the US. The 15-18 month average survival of these patients highlights the need for new and less toxic treatments such as our new and potentially more effective form of immunotherapy, TLR-AD1. Our most significant financing to date allows us the opportunity to bring an exciting new and potentially more effective form of immunotherapy to malignant brain tumor patients, with the goal of substantially extending their survival but also improving their quality of life. In just a few years the market to treat these patients is estimated to be well over a billion dollars. These cancer patients need the hope and promise that novel immunotherapies bring. Sumner shares our vision and realizes the potential of our novel cancer immunotherapies," said NovAccess Global's Chief Executive Officer Dr. Dwain K. Irvin. Dr. Irvin added, "We are excited to be moving forward with Sumner in achieving our goal of improving the quality of care for cancer and neurological patients worldwide"
