BVXV - BiondVax gains on collaboration to develop nanosized COVID-19 antibody therapy
Nano-cap BiondVax Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:BVXV) has more than doubled in the pre-market on above-average volume after announcing the signing of definitive agreements with two German institutes for the development and commercialization of COVID-19 nanosized antibodies. The agreements with Max Planck Society (MPG) and the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) are part of a broader partnership expected to be signed in Jan. 2022, the company announced. The lead NanoAb COVID-19 candidates in the program have a robust competitive advantage over the current treatments for the disease, BiondVax (BVXV) argues. The company cites their ability to bind the target at concentrations 100-times lower than those required by commercially available monoclonal antibody treatments for COVID-19. The company expects to advance preclinical studies for COVID-19 NanoAb in 2022, with data from early human clinical trials anticipated in 2023.
