Tekmira commences limited GMP manufacture of Ebola drug
Tekmira Pharmaceuticals provided an update on its Ebola program. The company is reporting it has commenced limited GMP manufacture of a new therapeutic specifically targeting the Ebola, Guinea variant, which is the viral variant responsible for the Ebola epidemic currently prevalent in West Africa. Supply of this new product will be available in early December, for potential use by various collaborators. The Company has completed the design of a modified RNAi therapeutic specifically targeting the Ebola viral variant, now termed 'Ebola-Guinea.' The company's IND for TKM-Ebola remains on partial clinical hold with respect to the multiple ascending dosing in healthy subjects. The company expects this matter to be resolved this quarter. :theflyonthewall.com
