Item 8.01   Other events

Agenus Inc. announced today that Phase 2 results of Prophage G-200 vaccine in recurrent patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) were hailed as ‘exciting’ and  a ‘very promising therapy’ in an editorial published in Neuro-Oncology, the leading journal of the Society of Neuro-Oncology.  The results of Agenus’ Prophage vaccine Phase 2 study, published last month in Neuro-Oncology, demonstrated that more than 90% of the patients treated with the vaccine candidate were alive at six months. The median overall survival in these patients was approximately 11 months.  

The full text of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is being filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.
