Oral HPV Vaccine
* Prima has partnered with Prof. Ian Frazer and Prof. Neil Foster to use dense gas technology for the formulation of an oral HPV vaccine
* The technology reformulates large, irregular particles into smaller, consistent sizes, allowing for higher bioavailability at lower doses of a drug and encapsulation for oral dosing
* Studies with Eudragit - coated lyzosyme completed and
feasibility studies with ovalbumin are ongoing.
Using dense gas technology (lysozyme framework) reduced the particle size seventy-fold and produced a much more regular shape.
* Oral HPV vaccine progress update Q3-Q4 2011

Interesting to also note that Coridon is currently in the pre-clinical phase of evaluating a combined prophylactic and therapeutic HSV-2 vaccine with a view to commencing a human phase 1b clinical trial in late 2011.
Of course HPV and HSV are very different viruses - However I'd assume some major Coridon s/holders by the likes of Andrew Forrester wouldn't expect Prof Frazer to be working independently outside his own company to only benefit another?
Thoughts on this anyone?
