AntiBKV is a highly effective and safe neutralizing antibody to treat BK virus infection in kidney transplant recipients. This infection can lead to loss of kidney function, as well as organ failure and rejection.
AntiBKV is a highly effective and safe neutralizing antibody to treat BK virus infection in kidney transplant recipients. This infection can lead to loss of kidney function, as well as organ failure and rejection.
AntiBKV is a neutralizing antibody which has been indicated for the treatment of BK virus infections and prevention of BK virus associated complications in kidney transplant recipients.
Under the terms of the agreement, MTx will leverage its best-in-class microfluidic single-cell molecular cloning and screening technologies to discover antibodies for immuno-oncology targets.
MTX-005 is a therapeutic antibody candidate that was identified through the screening of a vast number of kidney transplant patients infected with BK virus to find those few with an eradicating antibody response against the virus.
The proceeds will be used to advance clinical development of its best- and first-in-class neutralizing antibody, MTX-005, targeting BK virus infection in renal transplant patients through Phase 2 clinical development.
The project also includes the ability to rapidly develop a combination antibody partner for COVAB 36 targeted against emerging variants through an ultra-fast update process based on Memo Therapeutic AG’s leading antibody discovery platform.
MTX-COVAB, human-derived antibody against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has shown efficacy against both the original virus as well as the UK variant (B.1.1.7).
In the hamster challenge model, even low MTX-COVAB (5 mg/kg preventive; 10 mg/kg therapeutic) protected against weight loss, a key indicator of disease severity.
The proceeds of the financing will be used primarily to advance development of MTX-COVAB, Memo Therapeutic AG’s lead antibody candidate for the treatment of COVID-19 through to Phase II clinical studies, including production of GMP material.
