Find Clinical Drug Pipeline Developments & Deals for MK-7110
Merck reported that, based on the additional research that would be required – new clinical trials as well as research related to manufacturing at scale – MK-7110 would not be expected to become available until the first half of 2022.
Merck has reported that U.S. regulators have asked for additional data beyond the Phase III study already conducted in order to support potential emergency use authorization of its experimental COVID-19 drug MK-7110.
Under the agreement, Merck will receive up to approximately $356 million for manufacturing and supply of approximately 60,000-100,000 doses of MK-7110 to the U.S. Government through June 30, 2021 to meet the government’s Operation Warp Speed goals.
Acquisition adds to Merck’s suite of clinical programs in response to SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19. Merck will accelerate development of CD24Fc, a candidate for the treatment of patients with severe and critical COVID-19.
Data from 203 participants show that severe or critical COVID-19 patients treated with SACCOVID exhibited significantly faster recovery and significantly reduced disease progression to death or respiratory failure than those receiving placebo.
Oncoimmune will use the proceeds to support its novel therapeutic programs in late stage clinical trials and to expand its product pipeline. OncoImmune currently has two Phase III clinical programs to evaluate its lead product CD24Fc.
The new trial will test the impact of OncoImmune’s flagship product, CD24Fc, in dampening inflammation caused by virus-induced cellar injuries, in severe COVID-19 patients.
The trial is intended for use in HIV patients who have been receiving the traditional antiretroviral therapies that control, but do not cure, HIV infection.
The study, compares safety and efficacy data of CD24Fc when used in combination with standard of care GVHD prophylaxis compared to placebo and historical controls.
