Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On June 27, 2011, Agenus Inc. announced that results from its Phase I study of HerpV for the treatment of genital herpes will be presented by Dr. David Koelle, professor of medicine in the Division of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the University of Washington School of Medicine, at the BIO International Convention in Washington, DC. The data will be presented on Tuesday, June 28th during the 10:00 am to 11:30 am session entitled, "Therapeutic and Prophylactic Approaches for the Treatment of HSV-2 Infection." HerpV is an investigational therapeutic vaccine being developed to treat herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2), the virus that causes genital herpes in infected patients. Results from the Phase 1 HerpV trial demonstrated that the vaccine candidate triggered a cellular immune response, stimulating both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. A manuscript on the full data set has been submitted to a peer-reviewed journal. The full text of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.
