BiondVax (NASDAQ: BVXV), a biotechnology company focused on developing, manufacturing and commercializing innovative immunotherapeutic products, is working on changing the grim reality caused by the evolution of COVID-19. “The company’s leading inhaled nanosized antibody (‘NanoAb’) candidate, which is currently being prepared for clinical trials, has shown neutralization of all relevant Omicron subvariants… Developed in collaboration with Germany-based Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences (‘MPI’) and the University Medical Center Göttingen (‘UMG’), the alpaca-derived NanoAbs have demonstrated unique characteristics such as greater formulation advantages, stability at high temperatures, and binding affinity than monoclonal antibodies (‘mAbs’). Moreover, NanoAbs have shown strong potential for superior clinical outcomes, safety and patient convenience at lower costs than mAbs, which have generated billions in annual commercial sales,” a recent article reads. “Indeed, the emergence of new variants remains a concern, and NanoAb therapeutics have the potential to quickly and effectively address new variants,” CEO Amir Reichman is quoted as saying. “Our collaborators [at MPI and UMG] have generated libraries each with ~300 million COVID-19 NanoAb candidates, as compared to mAb libraries that contain only thousands of options. Thus, as new variants emerge, we would expect to be in a position to rapidly develop a new neutralizing NanoAb.”
