Hookipa Pharma Priced, Nasdaq: HOOK

Phase 2 biotech developing T cell immunotherapies for cancer/infectious diseases.

Industry: Health Care

First Day Return: 0.0%

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a new class of immunotherapeutics targeting infectious diseases and cancers based on our proprietary arenavirus platform that is designed to reprogram the body's immune system. We are using our "off-the-shelf" technologies, VaxWave and TheraT, to elicit directly within patients a powerful and durable response of antigen-specific killer T cells and antibodies, thereby activating essential immune defenses against infectious diseases and cancers. We believe that our technologies can meaningfully leverage this immune defense mechanism for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes by eliciting killer T cell response levels previously not achieved by other published immunotherapy approaches. Our lead infectious disease product candidate, HB-101, is in a Phase 2 clinical trial in cytomegalovirus-negative patients awaiting kidney transplantation from living cytomegalovirus-positive donors. Our lead oncology product candidates, HB-201 and HB-202, are in development for the treatment of human papillomavirus-positive cancers. We plan to file an investigational new drug application, or IND, with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, for HB-201 and HB-202 in the first half and second half of 2019, respectively. We have also entered into a strategic partnership with Gilead Sciences to accelerate building a pipeline of additional infectious disease product candidates in a cost efficient manner.
