Affinivax and Astellas’ pneumococcal vaccine candidate ASP3772 has been granted a breakthrough therapy designation by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the companies announced earlier this week.
Clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company Affinivax has secured $226m in Series C financing to advance the development of new vaccines with its multiple antigen presenting system (MAPS) platform.
About two years ago, Astellas licensed a novel pneumococcal vaccine technology from Affinivax with eyes on Pfizer’s Prevnar 13. Now, the pair has officially entered human testing.
