This newly allowed patent covers methods of immunizing patients against breast cancer by administering an immunogenic composition containing the human α-lactalbumin protein, a protein typically found in breast tissue during lactation but also expressed in certain breast cancers.
Dr. Amit Kumar, Chairman and CEO of Anixa Biosciences, stated, "This patent strengthens our intellectual property portfolio and highlights the novelty of our breast cancer vaccine. Our intellectual property portfolio includes multiple issued and pending patents in the U.S. and international jurisdictions."
In March, the USPTO issued a Notice of Allowance for a key patent application covering&nbsp;Anixa Biosciences <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/03/44455186/exclusive-anixa-biosciences-poised-to-receive-us-patent-for-ovarian-cancer-vaccine" rel="noreferrer noopener">ovarian cancer vaccine technology</a>.
The patent includes broad claims related to methods of eliciting an immune response targeting the Anti-Mullerian Hormone Receptor, Type II (AMHR2), a target for ovarian cancer prevention and treatment.
Anixa's ovarian cancer vaccine is being developed in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic and the National Cancer Institute.
The allowed claims include methods of administering an immunogenic composition comprising a nucleic acid encoding the AMHR2 polypeptide, specifically the extracellular domain of human AMHR2, to elicit an AMHR2-specific immune response.
Price Action: ANIX stock closed at $2.38 on Tuesday.

21Shares, one of the largest issuers of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43742669/a-dogecoin-etf-approval-in-2025-is-becoming-increasingly-likely-polymarket-traders-speculate">crypto exchange-traded products</a> (ETPs), has officially launched the 21Shares Dogecoin ETP, the first Dogecoin-backed product endorsed by the Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) Foundation.
What Happened: The product went live today, with <a href="https://www.21shares.com/en-eu/product/doge">listing</a> on Swiss exchanges under the ticker DOGE.
The Dogecoin ETP offers exposure to the sixth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, which closed 2024 valued at $46 billion—on par with legacy brands like General Motors.
The ETP enables both institutional and retail investors to gain direct access to Dogecoin through their bank or brokerage accounts, without needing to handle digital wallets or private keys.
"In partnership with House of Doge, we're excited to introduce the only Dogecoin ETP endorsed by the Dogecoin Foundation," 21Shares announced in a <a href="https://x.com/21Shares/status/1909876206020837776">statement</a> on social media. "Here's to the meme that made it."
The product has an annual fee of 2.5%, a net asset value of $5.00 per unit, and is not currently eligible for lending. 
The initial assets under management total $1.2 million, with 240,000 securities outstanding.

Why It Matters: Dogecoin, launched in 2013 as a lighthearted take on cryptocurrencies inspired by the viral &#8220;Doge&#8221; meme, has since grown into a recognized global payments solution.
The currency's accessibility and loyal user base have helped transform it from a cultural phenomenon into a practical gateway for crypto adoption.
21Shares' listing provides investors with a structured and regulated way to gain exposure to Dogecoin without having to directly purchase or manage the token via a crypto wallet. 
This approach is increasingly popular among traditional investors looking for simplified access to digital assets.
Dogecoin's growth has also been propelled by a strong, socially-driven community known for charitable initiatives and open participation. 
Community-led campaigns such as Doge4Water, which raised funds in 2014 to provide clean water infrastructure in Kenya, reflect the grassroots ethos behind the token.
The 21Shares Dogecoin ETP launch marks another step in the maturation of meme-driven cryptocurrencies into investable financial instruments, as regulators and traditional institutions respond to continued demand for accessible crypto investment vehicles.

President Donald Trump has declared that his administration is on the brink of imposing a significant tariff on <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44627820/trumps-reciprocal-tariffs-on-india-exempt-pharma-easing-mark-cubans-price-hike-concerns">pharmaceuticals imported from foreign countries.</a>
What Happened: President Trump, on Tuesday, disclosed plans for a &#8220;major tariff&#8221; on foreign pharmaceuticals. Trump is hopeful that this move will prompt drug companies to shift their operations to the U.S., <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/apr/09/donald-trump-flags-major-tariff-on-pharmaceuticals-as-us-senator-criticises-whack-on-australia">reported</a> The Guardian.
&#8220;We&#8217;re going to be announcing very shortly a major tariff on pharmaceuticals&#8230; when they hear that they will leave China, they will leave other places because&#8230; most of their product is sold here,&#8221; Trump expressed at a National Republican Congressional Committee dinner.
Despite exempting pharmaceuticals from the recent round of reciprocal tariffs, Trump has been hinting for a long time that the drug industry would be a target. The President is of the view that the tariff will drive drug companies to return to the U.S., considering it is a significant market for their products. &#8220;The advantage we have over everybody is that we&#8217;re the big market. So we&#8217;re going to be announcing very shortly a major tariff on pharmaceuticals,&#8221; Trump added.
The President, however, did not divulge any specifics regarding the tariff increase or its potential impact.
Pharmaceutical stocks across the globe, including GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi and India&#8217;s Teva Pharmaceuticals, tumbled on Wednesday.
In the U.S. pharmaceutical stocks, Pfizer (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) declined 3.5%, while Eli Lilly And Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) lost 3.2%. AstraZeneca Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>) fell 1.35%, while Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>) and Merck &amp; Co. Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>) dropped 2.94% and 2.75%, respectively, during the Wednesday pre-market trading session.

Why It Matters: The $1.7 trillion revenue prescription drug industry has demonstrated a strong resilience to tariffs. The U.S., being the largest and most profitable market globally for prescription drugs and generic products, imports most of these from overseas. In 2024, drug imports reached $213 billion, more than two and a half times the total 10 years earlier. The proposed tariff could, in theory, help bring business back onshore.
However, companies like&nbsp;AstraZeneca Plc and&nbsp;Pfizer&nbsp;have extensive global manufacturing networks, including Ireland, Germany, Canada, the UK, and the U.S and are not restricted to India and China. Sources told Reuters that it could take up to 10 years to build and equip a factory in the U.S., due to stringent regulatory requirements from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Therefore, Trump&#8217;s tariff might necessitate drugmakers to overhaul a complex, expensive manufacturing system.
Meanwhile, after Trump indicated major tariffs on pharmaceuticals, EU drugmakers have urged European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to take "rapid and radical action" to address the growing "risk of an exodus" to the U.S., following a meeting in Brussels.
