RE:RE:RE:RE:Asco Gu abstract releasedHi Fred - it looks like it will be 2024 before human testing begins. 2023 will be devoted to testing the vaccine in animals. This is from the latest MD&A:
In July 2022, Theralase® executed a Testing and Technical Services Agreement (“TTSA”) with the National Research Council of Canada (“NRC”) to produce inactivated SARS-CoV-2 virus using Theralase®’s patented PDC and proprietary TLC-3000B medical laser system technology. This inactivated virus will be used to create a vaccine to vaccinate animals to determine the immunogenicity effects of the TLD-1433 SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) vaccine and assess its efficacy in protecting the animals from contracting SARS-CoV2 during SARS-CoV-2 challenge.
Theralase® is currently designing and developing a new proprietary light activation platform; specifically, the TLC-3000B, to inactivate the virus and create the fundamental building blocks of a COVID-19 vaccine. The TLC-3000B is expected to be completed for use by PHAC and NRC in 1Q2023.
The above results and completion of the TLC-3000B will lay the groundwork for the next phase of the CRA and TTSA, which is evaluating the Theralase® COVID-19 vaccine in the ability to prevent animals from contracting COVID-19, at two world class laboratories, when exposed to the virus, which is expected to commence in 1Q2023 and be completed by 1Q2024.
