Oxford BioMedica and Virxsys Corporation have announced a licence agreement for Oxford BioMedica’s VSV-G viral envelope technology for gene delivery.
The agreement provides Virxsys with rights to utilise this technology in the production process of Virxsys’s anti-HIV/AIDS product VRX496 which is currently in Phase II trials.
Under the agreement, Oxford BioMedica receives an upfront licence fee and annual maintenance payments.
