ZICCUM AB engages Emerging Viral Diseases unit of Aix-Marseille University to develop dry viruses and vaccines, strengthening Ziccum”s future IP portfolio

Lund, 19th December 2019. The Emerging Virus Unit (Unité des Virus Émergents) is one of the world"s leading virology laboratories. Ziccum has now engaged UVE to use Ziccum"s technology to develop and formulate vaccines and viruses as dry powders, boosting global access to them and making them significantly faster and cheaper to transport. This collaboration will significantly strengthen Ziccum"s IP portfolio.

"Underimmunisation has never been more urgent" says Ziccum CEO Göran Conradson "this decision by Unité des virus émergents (UVE) to collaborate and develop the use of our technology to see if it can make virus and vaccine materials easier and more cost-effective to transport worldwide is far-sighted and timely. We believe it could ultimately play a part in making vaccines more globally accessible."

UVE is one of the world"s leading virology labs and together with its partners they prepare and ship reference materials for vaccine development, academic research and diagnosis worldwide. Ziccum has engaged UVE in the company"s development of new dry versions of vaccines in the highly advanced laboratories (BSL3) available at UVE.

During an initial 18 month period UVE will formulate and test a wide range of viruses and vaccines as dry powders with an ultimate goal to make them transportable without any need for cold chain refrigeration.

"This gives us much prized access to UVE"s world-leading, high-safety BSL3 labs. That is a rare asset and will secure data and IP for Ziccum", continues Göran Conradson.

Since 2014 UVE has also coordinated the European Commission sponsored European Vaccine archive, which in 2020 will be a global consortium with 46 partner and associated partner labs across 21 countries. UVE will use LaminarPace to carry out stability testing, temperature analyses and more on the new dry-form viruses and vaccines.

Professor Remi Charrel, scientific head at UVE: "Ziccum technology has the potential to significantly improve the storage and shipping of virus samples, two key steps to promoting the distribution of high-quality biological material to support research in virology."

Ziccum CEO Göran Conradson:  "The contract for the engagement with AMU has already been signed, with implementation pending a successful outcome to Ziccum"s ZICC TO 1 subscription option. A new range of tough, dry powder virus and vaccine materials that is faster and more cost-effective to transport could be a key part of solving the underimmunisation crisis. We"re very excited to move this project forward."

ZICCUM AB Third Quarter Report, 2019

Summary of Interim Third Quarter Report 2019: Ziccum well on way to delivering promises made during listing.

Summary of interim report – third quarter 2019

Ziccum is well on its way to delivering on the promises made when we first listed our stock – that during the year we would start three projects to develop stable, dry vaccines and biological drugs. So far during 2019 we have entered into two industrial collaborations, one with a global pharmaceutical company. We have also filed a patent application for a very important component in the development of new vaccines – Adenovirus. We continue to work with leading industrial and academic players to further develop the technology and adapt it for large-scale industrial production of biological drugs and vaccines. This is to position us for future discussions about partnership.

Significant events during the third quarter of 2019

  • Ziccum has hired additional staff with expertise in the formulation of vaccines
  • We received a special invitation to attend the Global Vaccine Summit in Brussels where several important new contacts were made
  • Ziccum, on behalf of a vaccine development company, will conduct a feasibility study development of stable vaccines. The preliminary study does not entail any financial compensation at this stage but aims to investigate the compatibility of Ziccum air drying capability with the company"s new formulation

Significant events during the reporting period (Jan-Sep) 2019

  • On January 10, 2019, Ziccum reported that the company had filed a patent application for its dry and temperature-stable formulation, which meets the WHO"s requirements for CTC status. The dry formulation (the "powder") generated by Ziccum"s technology in LaminarPace ™ dissolves quickly when sterile water is added and then vaccination or treatment can be performed
  • Final payment from the EU support for FORMBECC was received during the second quarter amounting to approximately SEK 315 thousand
  • Ziccum has been granted SEK 200,000 in research grants from Vinnova. The research grant should used to evaluate Ziccum"s method for preparing dry preparations of vaccines

Significant events after the reporting period

  • At the beginning of October, an agreement was concluded for evaluation with a global drug and vaccine company, where together we evaluate Ziccum"s technology to generate stable and temperature-stable vaccines

Ziccum enters into evaluation agreement with global pharmaceutical and vaccine company

Stockholm, October 3, 2019. Ziccum AB (publ) (‘Ziccum’) is to conduct an evaluation study with a global healthcare company engaged in researching and developing, vaccines and proteins to combat infectious diseases. The project will explore whether Ziccum’s air-drying capabilities could generate stable, dry-form vaccines for the company. 1-in-5 children worldwide currently do not receive even basic vaccines (WHO), and 1.5 million die every year from vaccine-preventable diseases. 

“We’re very proud to be starting this pilot project for such a prestigious and committed pharma company”, says Ziccum CEO Göran Conradson. “It’s a global company based in Europe who is committed to helping people be healthier by supporting better access and care in more places around the world. If our technology could be a part of that we would of course be delighted.”

“The pilot project collaboration is the second in just months”, Ziccum’s Chairman Fredrik Sjövall points out. “We clearly told the market that our first-year goal as a listed company was to partner on three pilot studies looking at developing stable, dry form vaccines and biologics. We’ve delivered on that promise. This is the second industrial collaboration we have announced in just a couple of months, and we see growing commercial interest in LaminarPaceTM moving forward. The world’s need to be able to deliver vaccines beyond the cold chain, to where they’re really needed, is urgent and growing. We’re convinced that our proprietary LaminarPaceTM technology may come to play an important part”.

LaminarPace enables the air-drying of delicate biologic drugs such as proteins, peptides and vaccines at room temperature, keeping the active ingredient intact. This capability could enable the development of new, stable, dry powder formulations of vaccines and biologic therapies that do not require costly global refrigeration supply chains to be transported and administered coast-effectively to any climate in the world.

ZICCUM AB Half Year Report Q2 2019

Summary of Half Year Report second quarter 2019: This has been an eventful year for Ziccum.

Summary of Half Year Report, second quarter 2019

2019 has been eventful for Ziccum: We have filed a patent application for an important component in the development of new vaccines, Adenovirus. This has resulted in several industrial players showing new interest in our technology. We also announced that we have entered into a Contract Research agreement with one of these companies, aimed at evaluating LaminarPace ™ in combination with their own project. In the second quarter we also got together groups of leading industrial and academic players to take part in developing dry formulations of many new vaccines and viruses, in the process furthering LaminarPace’s progress towards adapting to large-scale industrial production of biological drugs and vaccines. Consequently we are well on the way to delivering on the targets we set during our share listing – namely carrying out three pilot studies within one year to develop stable, dry vaccines and biological drugs.
