- Psoriasis affects over 3% of U.S. population, with global biologics treatment market over $9B annually and growing with 7% CAGR.
- Excess presence of IL‑17 is implicated in a wide range of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases including psoriasis, and therefore is the molecular target for several commercially available therapeutics.
- Of the biological treatments, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting IL-17A were the first mAbs to be approved for treatment of plaque psoriasis.
- BiondVax is working on plans to develop the drug also as a subcutaneous injection for systemic treatment targeting patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
