Allergy Therapeutics said that it can now fund the Grass MATA MPL Phase III trial and the peanut allergy vaccine candidate Phase I trial using the £48.3 million cash hoard it had at the end of 2020.

Manuel Llobet, Allergy Therapeutics’, CEO, said: “The trading results for the first six months of the year reflect the robust growth by the business despite the continuing challenges of COVID-19. Our research and development strategy is developing well, with excellent progress in our Grass MATA MPL Phase III development programme, the initiation of the ex-vivo peanut study and strong results from the ImmunoBON challenge chamber trial.”
Adding:
“We have much to look forward to in the calendar year 2021, with the submission of the Investigational New Drug Application for our peanut allergy vaccine candidate and results from the Grass exploratory field study.”
