VLA15 is the only vaccine for Lyme disease in clinicaldevelopment, according to GlobalData, the parent company of Pharmaceutical Technology. Lyme disease is also known as borreliosis, which refers to the borrelia bacteria that cause the condition. The vaccine targets six different serotypes of borrelia bacteria.
Valneva is paying 30% of development costs and in return Pfizer will pay tiered royalties starting at 19% and will lead late-stage development. VLA15 is the only active Lyme disease vaccine in clinicaldevelopment today, and covers six strains that are prevalent in North America and Europe.
When developing a clinicaldevelopment program for these increasingly popular therapies, it is important that sponsors use modeling and pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis to evaluate parameters that can be measured while dosing with gene therapy drugs, to characterize exposure-response data and inform rational dosing.
VLA15 targets the outer surface protein A (OspA) of the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria that causes Lyme disease, a tick-borne infection that causes a characteristic rash that can be accompanied by flu-like symptoms and – in some cases – debilitating tiredness and aches that can last for years.
Valneva is on the hook for 40% of development costs, up from 30%, but also stands to receive milestone payments of up to $100 million based on sales performance which were not included in the original agreement. The shot targets the outer surface protein A (OspA) of the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria that causes Lyme disease.
The firm also has the right to obtain exclusive licenses to the Affimer proteins for clinicaldevelopment and commercialization. What are Affimers : Affimers are small proteins that target and bind molecules on cellular surfaces in a manner analogous to monoclonal antibodies.
VLA15 is the only active Lyme disease vaccine candidate in clinicaldevelopment today, and covers six serotypes that are prevalent in North America and Europe. This investigational multivalent protein subunit vaccine targets the outer surface protein A (OspA) of Borrelia, an established mechanism of action for a Lyme disease vaccine.
There’s only one vaccine candidate for tick-borne infection Lyme disease in clinicaldevelopment – Valneva and Pfizer’s VLA15 – and it has just moved another step closer to being available.
In addition, it has discovered and is developing the Outer Membrane Protein Targeting Antibiotics (OMPTA). OMPTA are potentially the first new class of antibiotics in clinicaldevelopment in the last 50 years against Gram-negative bacteria.
About VLA15 VLA15 is the only Lyme disease vaccine candidate currently in clinicaldevelopment. This investigational multivalent protein subunit vaccine uses an established mechanism of action for a Lyme disease vaccine that targets the outer surface protein A (OspA) of Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that cause Lyme disease.
VLA15 is the only active Lyme disease vaccine candidate in clinicaldevelopment today, and covers six serotypes that are prevalent in North America and Europe. OspA is one of the most dominant surface proteins expressed by the bacteria when present in a tick. The program was granted Fast Track designation by the U.S.
While VLA15 is still under investigation, to date the companies have been encouraged by the data from the Phase 2 clinical studies, which demonstrated strong immunogenicity and acceptable safety and tolerability profiles. 2-4 About VLA15 VLA15 is the only Lyme disease vaccine candidate currently in clinicaldevelopment.
22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Polyphor AG (SIX: POLN) today announced that the UK Medicines and Healthcare products regulatory agency (MHRA) has granted a CTA (Clinical Trial Authorization) to start the first-in-human Phase I study of its novel class antibiotic murepavadin, delivered via the oral inhalation route.
In addition, it has discovered and is developing the Outer Membrane Protein Targeting Antibiotics (OMPTA). OMPTA are potentially the first new class of antibiotics in clinicaldevelopment in the last 50 years against Gram-negative bacteria.
synuclein is a hallmark of Parkinson’s, and it’s been postulated that dysfunction of GCase in neurons could contribute to build-up of the protein and the resulting inflammation and neurodegeneration characteristic of the disorder. According to Neuropore’s pipeline page, both UCB0599 and NPT520-34 remain in Phase I clinicaldevelopment.
AR-711 exhibits high affinity for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, approximately 10-fold or higher than mAb candidates currently in late stage clinical testing. AR-301 is a fully human IgG1 mAb currently in Phase 3 clinicaldevelopment targeting gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus ( S. AR-301 (VAP). AR-101 (HAP).
Priothera will use the funds to progress the clinicaldevelopment of mocravimod, a modulator of sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P) receptors, to enhance the curative potential of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for treating AML. CARB-X will provide Polyphor with initial funding of up to $2.62
Pneumococcal disease is an infection caused by bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae, or pneumococcus. Different strains of this bacteria are called serotypes. Invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) occurs when the bacteria infect parts of the body that are usually free from germs. pneumoniae serotypes contained in the vaccine.
“Pneumococcal disease in adults is on the rise globally, in part driven by disease-causing serotypes not targeted by the currently available pneumococcal conjugate vaccine,” said Dr. Roy Baynes, senior vice president and head of global clinicaldevelopment, chief medical officer, Merck Research Laboratories. About Pneumococcal Disease.
Caris Precision Oncology Alliance members also have access to the Caris Pharmatech oncology trial network, which can help reduce the time it takes to identify and connect appropriate patients with novel targeted cancer therapies in clinicaldevelopment.
Scientists will be testing a drug class targeting the C-reactive protein (CRP) marker of acute inflammation in the body. The protein may be involved in such conditions, and a CRP test may be used to find or monitor conditions that cause inflammation. These include inflammatory bowel disease, lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
Stelara’s patents are expiring in September 2023, while a handful of biosimilar drugs are in late-stage development or seeking FDA approval. 2) Darzalex (daratumumab) Darzalex is a targeted monoclonal antibody that slows or stops the progression of multiple myeloma (a blood cancer) by binding to the CD38 protein on multiple myeloma cells.
SARS-CoV-2 is characterized by an outer surface speckled with spike proteins, giving it a crown-like appearance, hence the name “corona,” which is the Latin word for crown. The spike protein is critical for binding to ACE2 receptors on host cells — this interaction mediates the entry of the virus into cells.
Proceeds will advance the clinicaldevelopment of MinervaX’s novel GBS vaccine through phase 2 clinical trials, as well as manufacturing and regulatory preparation for phase 3. These are capable of mobilising the immune system against GBS bacteria and preventing invasion of epithelial and endothelial cell barriers.
