Item 8.01. Other Events.

     On June 6, 2011, Agenus Inc. announced results from a Phase 2 clinical trial testing the Prophage Series G-200 vaccine (HSPPC-96; vitespen) in deadly recurrent brain cancer -- glioblastoma multiforme -- in a poster presentation at the 47th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago, Illinois.

     Results from this trial showed that 93% of the patients were alive at = 26 weeks after surgery and a median overall survival of 11 months (47.6 weeks). Results from pre-defined exploratory analyses of disease progression showed a median progression free survival of approximately 5 months (20 weeks). Importantly, measures of immune response post vaccination with Prophage Series G-200 demonstrated a significant tumor-specific CD8+ T-cell response as well as innate immune responses as marked by a significant increase in levels of circulating NK cells.

     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.
