Manufacturing Optimization for Filovirus Monoclonal Antibodies

As a part of BARDA’s commitment to develop therapeutic countermeasures against filovirus disease, BARDA is interested in advancing manufacturing development for a monoclonal antibody (mAb) cocktail composed of two mAbs. These medical countermeasures (MCM) can be deployed in the event of a filovirus outbreak and are a crucial component to the United States Government’s (USG’s) outbreak response plan. BARDA is seeking to augment the USG’s response capabilities through these awards, with therapeutics targeting filovirus disease caused by Ebola virus (EBOV), Marburg virus (MARV), or Sudan virus (SUDV).
