Camallergy, a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to providing innovative, patient-centric treatments for life-threatening food allergies, today announced it has been awarded £1.1 million funding under the Innovate UK Biomedical Catalyst Award programme.
The programme is administered by Innovate UK, the UK’s research and innovation agency.
Camallergy’s lead product, CA002, is a second-generation novel oral immunotherapy for the treatment of peanut allergy, designed to offer ‘bite-proof’ protection to patients within 14 weeks of therapy.
The £1.1 million in non-dilutive funding will be used to accelerate the company’s peanut allergy immunotherapy for planned Phase III clinical trials.
The project commences in the first quarter of 2021, and as part of the project’s success, the company intends to file its investigational new drug application with the FDA, as well as submit a clinical trials application to the MHRA and EMA.
Dr Sarah Oakley-Mudge, Director of Clinical Development at Camallergy, said: “This innovation award is further testament to Camallergy’s leadership and capabilities in the field of peanut allergy immunotherapy.
“With the only cGMP-certified manufacturing facility in Europe dedicated to producing peanut allergy immunotherapy for human use, we believe we are well positioned to utilise this award to accelerate the development of CA002 into Phase III trials and towards commercialisation”.
