Xoma’s unique approach involves acquiring future economic interests tied to pre-commercial therapeutic candidates that have been licensed to pharmaceutical or biotech companies. It is now progressing towards the submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) by the end of 2023. million, compared to $1.1
The established method for this process is a triple transfection using three different DNA plasmids. This is really what has been very challenging for upscaling viral vector production and what leads some companies that have in-licensed projects with a huge amount of viral vector to slightly panic about future production,” she says.
In the phase 2a trial, GSK3228836 was able to reduce two biomarkers of chronic HBV infection – hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B virus DNA – compared to placebo after four weeks treatment. Meanwhile, five of 12 previously-untreated patients had 2-log (90%) or a greater reduction in HBV DNA.
billion for the company in direct sales as well as another $460 million in alliance revenue from Merck, which licensed co-marketing rights to the product in 2017.
