NetworkNewsBreaks – BiondVax Pharmaceuticals Ltd.’s (NASDAQ: BVXV) NanoAb May Serve as Therapeutic and Prophylactic as Shown in Preclinical Study
BiondVax (NASDAQ: BVXV), a biotechnology company focused on developing, manufacturing and commercializing innovative immunotherapeutic products primarily for the treatment of infectious and autoimmune diseases, today announced additional results in a preclinical proof-of-concept study of its innovative inhaled NanoAb COVID-19 drug. According to the update, the study used an industry-standard animal model to compare weight loss in two groups of hamsters. Hamsters administered a mid-sized 0.66mg dose of the NanoAb three hours prior to infection experienced no significant weight loss over the six-day trial, whereas the untreated control group’s weight declined 12% on average, a highly statistically significant difference (p<0.0005). “We continue to be thrilled with the results of this ongoing trial,” said BiondVax’s CEO Amir Reichman. “There is strong market demand for COVID prophylactics as evidenced by AstraZeneca’s reported Q1 through Q3 2022 EVUSHELD revenues of $1.5 billion*. EVUSHELD is currently the only prophylactic COVID medication with FDA approval, under emergency use authorization. Our inhaled NanoAb is designed to be self-administered at the time of choosing to generate rapid protection from COVID illness. In contrast, EVUSHELD must be administered via two separate consecutive intramuscular (‘IM’) injections in a health care setting, and the FDA has confirmed it does not effectively neutralize recent Omicron variants of concern.** Data from our trial indicate that our NanoAb may effectively serve as both a therapeutic and protective prophylactic drug, which further enhances its value proposition.”
