Complete Inhibition of Viral Replication in H5N1 In Vivo Model by Bavituximab
Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical company with a portfolio of innovative, clinical stage product candidates for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and cancer, today announced that its lead anti-viral compound bavituximab (formerly Tarvacin) completely inhibited replication of a laboratory strain of the H5N1 virus, commonly known as avian flu, in fertilized chicken eggs, an in vivo model for influenza anti- viral activity. These preliminary findings will be reported today at the 106th general meeting of The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) in Orlando, Florida by Dr. Philip Thorpe, a member of the Peregrine Scientific Resource Board and professor of pharmacology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. Bavituximab, a monoclonal antibody with unique anti-viral and anti-cancer properties, has already demonstrated good tolerability in a Phase l trial in patients with HCV infection.
