Targovax: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Targovax AS focuses on creating cancer vaccines through active immunotherapy. Their most promising candidate is TG01, which is currently undergoing a phase I/II clinical trial in pancreatic cancer patients who have undergone surgery. TG01 utilizes peptides that work to stimulate a response from both a helper and cytotoxic T-cell, which can lead to a strong and long-lasting immune response. The Targovax peptides are geared towards inducing RAS mutation specific T-helper cells through the presentation on HLA class II molecules, as well as for natural processing through potential HLA class I epitopes to induce RAS mutation specific cytotoxic T cells. The Th cells are crucial for coordinating immune responses and play a significant role in the immune system's function. The drug candidate has shown promising results in previous trials, including increased survival rates and limited side effects. Targovax AS was founded in 2010 by the inventors of the technology and the Radium Hospital Research Foundation.

About FundedIQ's Targovax Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Targovax is left off this page rather than filled in.
