On the morning of February 14, Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area held the Global Partner Conference on “Intelligent Manufacturing of New Medicine” and declared that it would accelerate the construction of a global industrial highland for “intelligent manufacturing of new medicine”. AIM Vaccine, together with a group of Fortune Global 500 enterprises such as Bayer, Sanofi, GE Healthcare, and Varian, as well as domestic leading bio-medical enterprises, attended the signing ceremony at the conference.

AIM Vaccine Co., Ltd. (06660.HK) closed at HK$ 16.66, up 3.09%, on October 6, its first day on HKEx Main Board.

The data from the phase II clinical trial of mRNA (LVRNA009) targeting Covid-19 - independently developed by AIM Vaccine, have been known to the public. The live virus-neutralizing antibodies tested by Wuhan Institute of Virology, CAS, revealed that, the geometric mean titer (GMT) of the live virus-neutralizing antibodies 14 days after full-course vaccination of mRNA, was 994.9 in the adult medium-dose group and 1405.7 in the adult high-dose group. These figures prove mRNA is fairly strong in immunogenicity. Of note, the independent third-party tests indicate mRNA (LVRNA009) could fend off Omicron variants to a great extent.

Rong’an Bio, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AIM Vaccine, has submitted its application of communication session for the freeze-dried rabies vaccine for human use (serum-free Vero cell) it developed to the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE), NMPA, thus entering the communication stage. As an upgrade, the serum-free Vero cell human rabies vaccine is most prominently characterized by serum-free cell culture, which results in higher safety.

A few days ago, AIM Convac, a subsidiary of AIM Vaccine Co., Ltd, submitted its application of communication session for the EV71-CA16 bivalent HFMD vaccine (human diploid cell) it developed to the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE), NMPA, thus entering the communication stage. This candidate vaccine can target the two most common pathogens causing the hand-foot-and-mouth disease, i.e., enteric virus type 71 (EV71) and Coxsackie virus group A type 16 (CA16), to play an immunoprotective role in the comprehensive control and prevention of an HFMD epidemic.
