Virna Therapeutics is focused to develop neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb) that should prevent the SARS-CoV-2 from entering human host cells to combat the COVID-19, and also its other strains that could emerge as threats in the future.
Virna Therapeutics has brought a multi-national team from USA, Canada, Italy and India to rapidly develop the therapeutic antibodies. The funding by Canadian Govt has been pivotal for discovery work thus far, and ministry of health has extended a full support for rapid development. Government of Italy has extended a full support for manufacturing and clinical development of the antibodies.
Virna has identified an Indian Industry partner, Intonation Research Laboratories, Pvt. Ltd. Hyderabad, for an exclusive development and marketing right for South East Asia. The plan for India is to help in characterizing antibody, parallel scale up and clinical trials.
