New multi-target Humanisation project with global pharmaceutical company

Fusion Antibodies plc (AIM: FAB), specialists in pre-clinical antibody discovery, engineering and supply for both therapeutic drug and diagnostic applications, announces that it has been selected to proceed with a new multi-target Integrated Therapeutic Antibody Services project (the "Project") with the Antibody Centre of Excellence of a European-based global pharmaceutical company (the "Client") under a Master Service Agreement ("MSA") signed earlier in the year. The Project will include humanisation and supply elements.

Humanisation is the process required to make antibodies which were derived from non-human sequences, typically from mouse or rabbit antibodies, suitable for use as human therapeutics. Fusion will humanise a family of VHH antibody fragments for the Client. The Project also involves the expression, purification and supply of research materials.

The selection of Fusion for this Project again demonstrates the Company's ability to secure contracts with major pharmaceutical businesses. This is seen as a significant part of the Company's strategy of reducing dependence on more volatile smaller clients, but also in seeking to exploit the Company's novel technologies such as OptiMAL®. This will hopefully drive sustainable growth, strengthen market positioning and open further new commercial opportunities.

Work in relation to the Project is expected to be completed within the current financial year and the Company expects to generate revenues of not less than £175,000.

Adrian Kinkaid, CEO of Fusion, said: "We are delighted to have been selected to humanise a family of VHH antibody fragments for our Client. It is particularly gratifying that a client of this magnitude and recognised expertise, with all the resources available to them, has selected Fusion to undertake this critical work. It reflects both our position as providers of world-class antibody engineering services and our ability to deliver innovative, high-quality solutions for long-lasting partnerships. We look forward to working with our Client to bring better antibodies to the clinic more rapidly."
