The grant will continue to support the research previously supported by a Phase I SBIR grant, the company said.
With the grant, ImmuVen will continue development of its therapeutic pipeline (IMV0123) against superantigens produced by methicillin-sensitive and MRSA.
The company aims to bring IMV0123 through a pre-Investigational New Drug (IND) meeting with the FDA and complete major milestones in the preclinical development of the therapeutic.
