Products for Treatment and Prevention of Ebola Zaire Disease Description of Technology Scientists at the NIAID Vaccine Research Center have developed human [[Page 23015]] monoclonal neutralizing antibodies for treatment and prevention of Ebola Zaire disease. The monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) bind to different regions of the Ebola glycoprotein that are unique for these two mAbs. Alone or in combination, the mAbs prevent or reverse Ebola Zaire virus disease in non-human primates. Nonclinical studies have demonstrated complete protection against disease with a single antibody and complete protection against viremia by addition of a second antibody. The current nonclinical pharmacology demonstrates a favorable pharmacokinetic profile and there is a first-in-time human clinical trial projected for 2017. The anticipated indications for this technology include pre-and post-symptomatic treatment, and pre-and post-exposure prophylaxis. This technology is available for licensing for commercial development in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404, as well as for further development and evaluation under a research collaboration. Potential Commercial ApplicationsTherapeutics Diagnostics Competitive Advantages Favorable pharmacokinetic profile Favorable manufacturing Complete protection against disease with a single unique mAb Complete protection with fewer administrations and/or lower doses than any other mAb Complete protection against viremia with two antibodies Development Stage In vivo data available (animal) Entering first-in-time human clinical trial (2017) Inventors: Nancy J.
