Aeras commits further USD$5 million to existing TB research agreement with Crucell
"This technology, which is based on one of the most advanced vector delivery systems for induction of cellular immunity, represents an important part of the portfolio of vaccines we are developing against tuberculosis," said Dr. Jerald C. Sadoff, President & CEO of Aeras Global TB Vaccine Foundation. "We are excited about our continued collaboration with Crucell to support the process development and manufacturing of this promising vaccine candidate."
In March 2004, Aeras and Crucell entered into a collaborative agreement for the development of a PER.C6® and AdVac®-based TB vaccine. The vaccine entered the phase I clinical trial in October 2006."
