COVID-19 project
As announced in April 2020, Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals is deploying its groundbreaking research capabilities and technologies to develop treatments for COVID-19. Using the exceptional characteristics of its ApbHC humanised mice, the Company seeks to discover human neutralising antibodies - antibodies that are typically developed by the human immune system to neutralise invading viral pathogens - that could be used to fight infections of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
The Company had already been developing treatments to be deployed against other viral pathogens prior to the onset of COVID-19, both independently and with a number of pharmaceutical company partners. The Company's ApbHC mice were developed in part as a discovery platform for the development of such treatments. Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals' scientists have been transplanting cells from blood samples from convalescent COVID-19 patients into its mice, with the goal of recreating and isolating a set of anti-SARS-CoV-2 virus antibodies.
In addition to the COVID-19 work, this initiative aims to demonstrate how the Company's technology can be deployed rapidly in emergencies in order to discover human neutralising antibodies against a host of viral pathogens, including mutations into possible new strains of COVID-19 and also what infectious disease experts in the bioprotection and biodefence sectors call "Disease X", meaning as-yet unknown viruses that may may break out and that may represent a similar or greater threat than the one presented by COVID-19.
RNS on 9/2020 they said about covid treatment but nothing update until now , Do you think they are still doing that or on hold to move to prepare on CAR-T for this late year on trial ? it is quite a long now without update on how it work or when do they start to going to trial on patient? using mice to speed up this antibody I think it should be very fast and they can speed up to , But it seem they not mention it anymore or there is nothing to say on the fund take money for continue developing that treatment.
They have some very old research with some other but it seem nothing come up and no up date too. Many thing and now the main website only have 4 main projects no say anything on covid .
