Objective
Development of a next generation human papillomavirus vaccine.
Program Description
Investigators will conduct preclinical development of a next generation human papillomavirus vaccine. Human papillomaviruses play a critical role in the development of several cancers, the most common being cervical cancer. A second generation papillomavirus vaccine that is both economical and stable is being developed. Preliminary data showed it offers protection against experimental viral challenge in the canine model. RAPID support will include:
- In vivo and in vitro preclinical efficacy testing,
- Preclinical toxicology,
- GMP production, formulation, and an IND support.
