Ron Babecoff, CEO of BiondVax Commented: "The second quarter of 2015 was very eventful for BiondVax, culminating in
a number of successes. A few weeks following our successful public offering on Nasdaq, we completed and reported successful results
for our BVX-006 trial. We showed that our universal flu vaccine enhanced antibody responses to multiple flu strains when administered
as a primer, and was safe and well tolerated. More than that, a few weeks later, we showed that participants who received our
vaccine in our 2012 trial, presented higher immunogenicity to the 2014-15 flu season strain - a strain which didn't exist
back then. Both these successful results are additional important data points, validating our work and further demonstrating the
universality of our vaccine and its potential for improving global public health. Our work is particularly poignant as the 2015/2016
flu season approaches."
terms of our efforts to broaden our shareholder base, I will be marketing our story to investors on non-deal roadshows, and presenting
at a number of investor conferences in New York, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, in the coming quarter. We see a number of near-term
catalysts, such as our EU funded study in Europe, and we are all very much looking forward to the coming few months. We believe
our upcoming efforts will further support our concept of the universal flu vaccine," concluded Dr. Babecoff.
is an innovative biopharmaceutical company developing a universal flu vaccine, designed to provide multi-season and multi-strain
protection against most human influenza virus strains, including both seasonal and pandemic flu strains.
BiondVax's technology utilizes a unique, proprietary combination of conserved and common peptides from influenza virus proteins
to activate both arms of the immune system for a cross-protecting and long-lasting effect.
