US DoD extends Tekmira temporary stop-work order

Tekmira is expecting to receive notification from DoD, regarding stop-work order contract termination or further expansion by 30 September 2012.

The company is developing TKM-Ebola under a contract awarded by the US Government’s Transformational Medical Technologies Program.

Tekmira received a temporary stop work order on 6 August 2012 with respect to its TKM-Ebola program due to recently imposed funding constraints at the DoD.
