The latest update is out from Open Orphan Plc ( (GB:HVO) ).

hVIVO plc has secured a £2 million contract with a new biopharmaceutical client to conduct the final stage of a human metapneumovirus (hMPV) characterisation study, following a successful pilot trial. This reflects the company’s strategic positioning as a leader in human challenge trials, and the growing demand for hMPV drug development services amid rising global concerns about the virus. The study aims to expand existing data and build a robust model for future hMPV human challenge trials, which could facilitate faster market approvals and address significant unmet medical needs due to the lack of approved vaccines or therapeutics for hMPV.
