NantKwest starts dosing in subcutaneous, sublingual and oral COVID-19 vaccine trials

Patrick Soon-Shiong, M.D., executive chairman of ImmunityBio and NantKwest (NantKwest) ImmunityBio and NantKwest have begun dosing participants with subcutaneous, sublingual and oral COVID-19 vaccine candidates. The trials are designed to determine which combination of routes of administration holds the most potential. While a clutch of COVID-19 vaccines are now in commercial use around the world, the potential for the coronavirus to become a pathogen that continues to circulate for years means there may be a long-term opportunity for prophylactics. ImmunityBio and NantKwest are part of a group of vaccine developers working to seize that opportunity. The partners recently took a step forward when dosing began in clinical trials in the U.S. and South Africa. Two U.S. phase 1b clinical trials are evaluating the effect of giving sublingual or oral vaccines in addition to a subcutaneous formulation. Six subjects have been dosed in each U.S. trial.

As viral vector demand surges, fledgling CDMO Matica establishes a beachhead in Texas

Mar 8, 2021 10:23am There s a ready market for viral vectors. Matica, a new CDMO and a subsidiary of South Korea-based CHA Biotech, will soon be poised to help meet the demand. (Harvard University) A lack of global capacity to produce cell and gene therapies has been exacerbated by an even more pressing need: to develop and manufacture coronavirus vaccines. So it appears the timing is right for Matica Biotechnology, a developer and producer of viral vectors, to put down roots in the United States. The brand-new CDMO has teamed up with Texas A&M University and its advanced manufacturing center and started work on a 25,000 square-foot viral vector plant near the university s College Station campus.
