INDIANAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kovina Therapeutics Inc. announced receipt of a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) one-year Phase I award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR\/NIH) to treat oropharyngeal cancers caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infections. The award provides approximately $275,000 with the opportunity for advancement to Phase 2.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\u201cKovina\u2019s science continues to receive validation and support from the NIH. The NIDCR award represents Kovina\u2019s third NIH grant received this year. The award will advance Kovina\u2019s HPV related oropharyngeal (head and neck) cancer research and development efforts to address the increasing incidence and morbidity challenges associated with this disease,\u201d said Kristin Sherman, CEO of Kovina Therapeutics.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cOropharyngeal cancers arising from HPV infections are increasing across many age groups and around the world. There are no directed antiviral treatments for these malignancies, and current treatment protocols lead to devastating side effects. The need for targeted therapeutics is clear and expert NIH reviewers supported our plans to identify a drug that inactivates a critical oncogenic HPV protein. This SBIR grant funds testing of our novel HPV inhibitory compounds for activity in preclinical models of oropharyngeal cancer. A safe and effective antiviral agent would increase survival and reduce the potential incapacitating side effects of current therapeutic regimens,\u201d said Dr. Elliot Androphy, CSO of Kovina Therapeutics.\n<\/p>\n
