Palm Beach, FL – November 9, 2021 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – The increasing outbreak of covid-19 is increasing the demand for coronavirus vaccines or therapies, which will result in the expansion of the COVID-19 therapeutics market during the forecast period. COVID-19 virus causes respiratory illness in humans. It may cause severe disease in the geriatric population (Mainly those with diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, and cancer). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), globally, 175,847,347 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 3,807,276 deaths, were reported to WHO as of 15 June 2021. Covid-19 cases are increasing day by day, and there is no officially approved drug for COVID-19. Many countries are facing a shortage of drugs likely to offer growth opportunities for pharmaceutical drug manufacturers. Leading market players are also developing innovative and efficient covid-19 drug therapies, resulting in overall market growth.   According to the latest market intelligence report by InsightAce Analytic, the global COVID-19 therapeutics market size, which was valued at US$ 5.26 Billion in 2020, is expected to reach US$ 25.6 Billion in 2030, recording a promising CAGR of 10.7% from 2021 to 2030.  The report said: “Major factors responsible for the growth of the COVID 19 therapeutic market are the fast adoption of advanced technologies, the growing number of corona patients, increasing healthcare expenditures, rising awareness about coronavirus, and increasing efforts by the pharmaceutical companies to develop covid-19 therapeutic drugs. For instance, Eli Lilly and Company is donating COVID-19 therapies to Direct Relief, enabling the humanitarian organization to provide COVID-19 treatments at no cost to low- and lower-middle-income countries most heavily impacted by the pandemic. Furthermore, increasing research investments for the R&D of covid-19 therapeutic drugs is anticipated to drive market growth in the future. However, the high cost required to validate therapies, and long-term clinical trials limit the COVID-19 therapeutics market growth.”  Active biotech companies in the market this week include BioVaxys Technology Corp. (OTCQB: BVAXF) (CSE: BIOV), Merck (NYSE: MRK), Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA), Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: SRNE), Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE).

InsightAce Analytic concluded: “During the forecast period 2020-2030, North America COVID-19 therapeutic market is expected to dominate the COVID-19 therapeutics market, owing to advancement of technologies, growing awareness about coronavirus, rising government initiatives for R&D of covid-19 vaccines, and an increasing number of market players in this Region. On the other hand, the European region will also hold the largest share of this market during the forecast years due to rising government initiatives in R&D and increasing demand for covid-19 treatment options. Furthermore, Asia Pacific COVID-19 therapeutic market is estimated to be the fastest-growing regional market in the future, attributed to the increasing number of corona patients, rising awareness about the covid treatment options and healthcare facilities, and entry of new players in the market.”

BioVaxys Technology Corp. (OTCQB: BVAXF) (CSE: BIOV.CNQ) BREAKING NEWS:  BioVaxys announces that CoviDTH Demonstrates Safety and Tolerability in Broad Ranging In Vivo Clinical Pathology, Immunology, and Histopathology Evaluation, Supporting Planned Clinical Development of CoviDTH  – BioVaxys Technology Corp. (“BioVaxys”) announced today that results from its in vivo animal research study support the safety and tolerability of CoviDTH at two intradermal dose levels across a battery of clinical pathology, immunology, and histopathology evaluations.

The objective of the study was to determine the potential toxicity and toxicokinetic profile of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein when administered two times via intradermal injection in a rabbit model, and to determine the persistence or reversibility of any toxic effects over a one-week recovery period.

Conducted together with global contract research organization Inotiv, Inc. (“Inotiv”), the Good Laboratory Practice (“GLP”) study successfully met all objectives and demonstrated the safety, tolerability, and lack of toxicity of the purified recombinant SARS-CoV-2 s-protein that is a principal constituent of CoviDTH.  The highest dose tested in the study was 5x-10x higher than the probable dose in humans, with no adverse effects except some mild localized redness.

In its Written Response this summer to BioVaxys on the Company’s request for a Pre-IND Type B review of CoviDTH as a diagnostic for evaluating T-cell immune response to SARS-CoV-2, the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) indicated that animal toxicity studies for CoviDTH were not required and that the Company could start its clinical development program with a combined Phase I/II study.  “The battery of analyses provides further evidence of the safety and tolerability of CoviDTH,” stated BioVaxys President and Chief Operating Officer Ken Kovan, adding that “Although the animal tox study is deemed discretionary by the FDA, we believe the data will be very supportive of our IND. Preparation of the IND is ongoing as we finalize GMP production plans.”

CoviDTH is the world’s first and only low cost, disposable, point-of-care diagnostic tool that screens for a T-cell response to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19.  Recent published clinical studies have validated the use of the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) cutaneous test behind CoviDTH as a feasible and safe in vivo method to assess cellular immune responses in both natural and vaccinated SARS-CoV-2 exposed individuals and also that the DTH response is highly durable and persists for at least one year after COVID-19 exposure or vaccine administration.   CONTINUED...
