Relief for Allergy Sufferers Finally in Sight: Immunomic Therapeutics Closes in on Treatment for Hay Fever in Japan, U.S.
Hershey, PA & Rockville, MD (PRWEB) August 21, 2014
DNA vaccine pioneer Immunomic Therapeutics, Inc. (ITI) is making progress in its development of JRC-LAMP-vax, an innovative and safe potential treatment for allergy to Japanese red cedar pollen. Phase IC studies began this month in Hawaii, moving the world closer to a real solution to hay fever.
The Japanese red cedar releases pollen that causes devastating allergies in over 35 million people in Japan. Mountain Cedar pollen wreaks similar havoc in Colorado, New Mexico and Texas during late winter and early spring.
Until now, effective and lasting solutions to these allergies have been elusive. Immunomic Therapeutics has emerged with a new class of DNA-based allergy immunotherapeutic vaccines, based on their breakthrough LAMP technology, that could end the suffering and bring worldwide relief.
The Phase IC study will explore the safety profile of the JRC-LAMP-vax vaccine, delivered intradermally using the Biojector B2000, and will continue immunological profiling. Japanese expatriates have been recruited, screened and successfully dosed.
The Biojector® B2000 is a needle-free jet injection system approved by the FDA to deliver vaccines intramuscularly, subcutaneously and intradermally. Studies show the device is safe and provokes a better immune response. ITI seeks to validate B2000 ID as part of the JRC-LAMP-vax treatment regimen. |
