Ology Bioservices Inc. (Ology Bio), a biologics contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), has announced that the Department of Defense (DOD) has awarded the company with an agreement valued at $37 million. This work is supported by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs with funding from the Defense Health Agency.
The scope of this program includes the activities required to rapidly develop, manufacture, and obtain FDA licensure of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) cocktail (ADM03820) that was originally identified in a previous agreement with the DOD. The regulatory strategy will outline the manufacturing process characterization and validation activities required to support the initial Biologics License Application (BLA) filing and ultimately marketing of ADM03820. In addition, Ology Bio will support the DOD with a request for an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) and/or Expanded Access (EA) of ADM03820 for at-risk military personnel.
“This award will allow Ology Bio to extend our rapid development and manufacturing capabilities by introducing the critical regulatory component,” said Peter H. Khoury, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Ology Bio.
