Cobra BioManufacturing Release: Hawaii Biotech, Inc. Finishes Phase I West Nile Clinical Trial

Keele, UK: Cobra Biomanufacturing Plc (AIM: CBF), the international manufacturer of biopharmaceuticals, today announces that Hawaii Biotech Inc. has completed the dosing phase of a Phase I clinical trial for a West Nile vaccine using vaccine that Cobra Biomanufacturing produced for Hawaii Biotech.

Hawaii Biotech’s vaccine technology is based on the production of proprietary genetically engineered antigens (proteins) that produce immune responses equivalent to or better than traditional live or inactivated virus approaches. The vaccine also has the potential for a significantly improved safety profile compared to traditional approaches. The West Nile vaccine product consists of a recombinant protein and adjuvant.

CEO Simon Saxby said: “It is gratifying to see Cobra-produced material progressing through human clinical trials. As a contract manufacturer, our success is closely linked to our clients’ success, and it is extremely rewarding when collaborations with our clients achieve the planned goals through the combined teams’ efforts.

We wish Hawaii Biotech every success as they analyze their Phase I data.”
