Collaborations
Key partners in our science
Vyriad partners with leading medical institutions and pharmaceutical companies to advance the development of our oncolytic virus technologies. The company has an extensive research collaboration with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to develop Voyager-V1 and the next generation of fully retargeted VSV-based oncolytic virus therapies.
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) is a leading biotechnology company that invents life-transforming medicines for people with serious diseases.
Vyriad and Regeneron have entered into a strategic research collaboration that includes a Phase 2 study of Voyager-V1 and Regeneron’s PD-1 inhibitor Libtayo® (cemiplimab-rwlc) in multiple cancer indications. The companies also plan to join forces to design and develop novel Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV)-based oncolytic virus treatments.
Mayo Clinic is a nonprofit organization committed to clinical practice, education and research, providing expert, whole-person care to everyone who needs healing.
Vyriad and Mayo Clinic have a clinical research agreement to study the combination of Voyager-V1 and Keytruda® (pembrolizumab), Merck’s an anti-PD-1 antibody, in non-small cell lung cancer and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is exclusively focused on the health sciences and is dedicated to promoting health worldwide through advanced biomedical research, graduate-level education in the life sciences and health professions, and excellence in patient care.
UCSF and PNOC are conducting a Phase 1 study to assess the safety and efficacy of Vyriad’s modified measles virus in children and young adults with recurrent medulloblastoma or atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor.
The Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC) was formed to provide children with brain tumors access to innovative treatments. What sets us apart is that we pursue clinical strategies that are based on the molecular and genetic make-up of each tumor.
