China Partners With Florida Based COVID-19 Vaccine Developer

A Florida based biotechnology company announced that it signed a Framework Agreement with the China Centre for Disease Control (CDC), Beijing Guoxin Haixiang Equity Investment Partnership, and Beijing Youfeng International Consulting Co., Ltd for the development and commercialization of the Ii-Key-SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus vaccine in China.

The Ii-Key-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine is designed as a “Complete Vaccine” that has the potential to induce the T-Cell and antibody immune responses in a highly specific manner that can provide protective immunity with long-lasting immunologic memory against SARS-CoV-2 and other pandemic threats like swine flu.

The agreement announced by Generex Biotechnology Corporation on November 4, 2020, outlines the roles and obligations of the partners to advance the development of Ii-Key vaccines for infectious diseases and cancer under separate contracts that are currently being finalized. 

A total of five contracts are contemplated under the partnership framework, including individual contracts for the Ii-Key COVID vaccine and an Ii-Key swine flu vaccine. 

Additionally, the framework outlines terms for an exclusive license in China for the Ii-Key vaccine platform, as well as the establishment of a national research institute to advance the Ii-Key platform for cancer and infectious diseases.

Generex CEO, Joseph Moscato said in a press release, “As we continue to execute on our Ii-Key vaccine development plans and China initiatives, we will provide our shareholders with updates as the individual project contracts are finalized and initiated. This is probably the biggest deal Generex could even imagine and we are all too happy to be partners with these acclaimed institutions to help China and the world.”
