Shares of live biotherapeutics company, N4 Pharma (LON: N4P) are rallying on Thursday after the company released an update regarding its ongoing research project with Nanomerics Limited.
The company said it initiated the first phase of research to test the stability of its drug, Nuvec, which is in development for use in cancer treatments and vaccines, for “the stability of different formulations of Nuvec loaded with a well-characterised plasmid DNA.”
It announced that Nuvec formulations that were freeze-dried and stored for 14 days at room temperature or four degrees, “showed no significant drop in in vitro transfection capability following reconstitution compared to fresh formulations.”
