A clinical proof-of-concept study showed promising results, with a significant proportion of women experiencing hr-hpv viral clearance 12 weeks after a 14-DAY treatment. The proposed SBIR Phase II studies are focused on achieving three main objectives to ensure dare-hpv’s safety before submitting an ind application. First, they aim to optimize and validate analytical assays for measuring the active pharmaceutical ingredients presence in both blood and cervical samples.

Where this comes from

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs set aside part of federal research budgets for small companies. Agencies award them in phases: Phase I tests whether an idea is feasible, Phase II funds development, and Phase III is follow-on work paid for outside the set-aside. STTR awards also require a research institution as a partner.

Every figure on this page is taken from the award's own federal record, linked beside it, as it stood when the page was built: the recipient, its address, the awarding agency and office, the amount obligated so far, the dates and the description. Phase and program are shown as the award's own description states them. The amount can grow later if the agency adds funding to the same award.
