Dr Achim Kaufhold, Pharmexa's ceo, said: "In line with our cost-cutting activities and our new strategic direction, Pharmexa discontinued operations at our Pharmexa-Epimmune subsidiary in San Diego at the end of last year. The sale of Pharmexa-Epimmune to VaxOnco completes that process and will result in substantial savings to Pharmexa in the future."
