Results of a collaboration between Mapp, The University of Texas Medical Branch and Uniformed Services University working on a new Nipah monoclonal antibody countermeasure are now published (https://lnkd.in/eZ_ngCQQ). The mAb was superior to m102.4 (the mAb currently used compassionately for Nipah/Hendra exposures), in a non-human primate model. This work was funded by The National Institutes of Health through a CETR grant awarded to Christopher Broder and in collaboration with Tom Geisbert. Moving forward, together with the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND) Mapp is funded for advancing an extended half-life version of the antibody (MBP1F5) – and Phase 1 testing is expected to begin this year.

Check out our new study showing long-term monoclonal antibody prophylaxis against aerosol exposure to Marburg virus. Dafna Abelson led this study together with Robert W. Cross, Ph.D., MPH and Tom Geisbert at The University of Texas Medical Branch. Thanks to the Defense Threat Reduction Agency and Lucy Ward for supporting the work. https://lnkd.in/e-8jFHjq
