Biovest Still Active as of 2014

http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20120423005490/en/Biovest-U.S.-Army-Enter-Collaborative-Agreement-Develop#.VEBYcvnF98F

TAMPA, Fla. & MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Biovest International, Inc. (OTCQB: BVTI), a majority-owned subsidiary of Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCQB: ABPI), today announced that Biovest and the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) have entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to further develop Biovest’s hollow fiber perfusion bioreactors as a flexible and modular manufacturing platform for the rapid, robust and cost-effective production of medical countermeasures to emerging and genetically engineered infectious diseases. This CRADA utilizes Biovest’s hollow fiber technology for production of vaccines, virus-like particles (VLPs) and antibodies for treatment and prevention of filovirus diseases including those caused by Ebola and Marburg viruses.

“Our instrumentation is uniquely designed for the commercial manufacture of personalized medicines and vaccines. This vast potential is now being evaluated in three very important collaborations with the Naval Health Research Center, Max Planck Institute and USAMRIID”

According to Biovest’s consulting medical advisor, J. David Gangemi, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Microbiology and Molecular Medicine, Clemson University, “Biovest’s collaboration with USAMRIID is part of a large U.S. government priority investment to become fully prepared for the swift and efficient delivery of medical countermeasures to highly infectious agents including avian and swine influenza, and other emerging diseases. Expanding on the positive influenza virus data generated under Biovest’s CRADA with the Naval Health Research Center, our collaboration with Army’s infectious disease research team aims to demonstrate the utility and agility of Biovest’s hollow fiber bioreactors to propagate infectious virus for vaccine production and to validate the production of VLPs and virus neutralizing antibodies.”

Biovest’s patented hollow fiber bioreactor systems are compact, scalable and economical for large-scale virus and antibody production. In contrast to other systems, Biovest’s technology provides multiple benefits including: 1) controlled culture conditions with high cell density attained; 2) space efficiency and high-yield production; and 3) selective dilution/removal of inhibitory byproducts.

“Our instrumentation is uniquely designed for the commercial manufacture of personalized medicines and vaccines. This vast potential is now being evaluated in three very important collaborations with the Naval Health Research Center, Max Planck Institute and USAMRIID,” stated, Biovest’s Chief Science Officer, Mark Hirschel, Ph.D. “And we are continuing to pursue other strategic partnerships within the U.S. Department of Defense and with other leading research institutions worldwide to establish Biovest’s biomanufacturing technology as an optimal cell culture platform for the production of many kinds of cell-based biologic therapies.”

AutovaxID® is an automated, self-contained, scalable system that employs a single-use, hollow-fiber bioreactor for cell expansion. Since it is functionally closed, computer-controlled and fully-automated, operation of the AutovaxID requires limited supervision and minimal manpower compared to other systems. The AutovaxID is a flexible system, uniquely designed to address a variety of biotechnology and pharmaceutical applications.

Been in development for over 2 YEARS. This company has been in the development a treatment for over 2 years, much more than those JUST OTC companies coming into the market just now.
What other OTC company has been in the Ebola market, for over 2 years?

MINNEAPOLIS & TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

 

Biovest International, Inc. (“Biovest”), a leader and a pioneer in the development of personalized cancer immunotherapies, today announced that Biovest’s Chief Executive Officer, Carlos F. Santos, Ph.D., will deliver the keynote presentation at the Phacilitate Immunotherapy Forum (part of Phacilitate’s Washington Bioleaders 2014 Conference) taking place at the Grand Hyatt Hotel on January 27-29, 2014 in Washington, D.C. The keynote presentation on Monday, January 27, 2014 is titled “The Integration of Clinical Bioinformatics, Automated Cell Culture, and Automated Manufacturing for the Rapid Development of Personalized Lymphoma Vaccines”, and Dr. Santos will be a panelist for the corresponding discussion session. Dr. Santos will serve as the chair and moderator of the Tuesday, January 28, 2014 morning plenary session of the Immunotherapy Forum. He will also make a presentation titled "Case Study: Making the Personal Affordable: Efficient Manufacture of Autologous Cancer Immunotherapies”, and will act as an informal panelist for the panel discussion to follow. On the final day of the Conference, January 29, 2014, Dr. Santos will present "Case Studies of Personalized Immunotherapies in Development – Examining Trial Designs and Biomarker R&D Strategies – Case Study 3”.

“This forum provides us an excellent opportunity to advance personalized immunotherapy and interact with leaders in the fields of cancer vaccines, cell and gene therapy, and biologics manufacturing,” said Dr. Santos. “At Biovest, we have developed a highly personalized, tumor-matched cancer vaccine (BiovaxID; dasiprotimut-T) to fight non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. As part of our efforts in bringing this vaccine to market, we have also pioneered highly automated systems for biomanufacturing of personalized medicines. We believe these advances, together with the clinical informatics and biomarker data which accompanies each of our vaccines, will ultimately make cancer vaccines much more accessible for patients diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.”

Robert E. Farrell, J.D., Biovest’s Chief Financial Officer, will be presenting at the Personalized Medicines World Conference of Silicon Valley on January 27-28, 2014. Mr. Farrell’s presentation, “Automated Systems for Personal-Scale Manufacture of Commercial Cancer Vaccines“, will take place on January 28, 2014 at 8:45 AM PST at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. Mr. Farrell stated, “both of these conferences will present substantial exposure for Biovest’s immunotherapy program and provide an exciting opportunity to network with the biotechnology, personalized medicine, active immunotherapy, and investment communities. They provide outstanding venues in which to display our pioneering advances in personalized cancer vaccines.”
