Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 26, 2014, the registrant ("Mymetics") entered into a Material Transfer Agreement ("MTA") with Texas Biomedical Research Institute led by Dr. Ruth Ruprecht, Scientist & Director with the Texas Biomed AIDS Research Program in San Antonio, Texas. The MTA, which addresses the vaccine product that Mymetics must transfer to the Texas Biomedical Research Institute, is required to initiate the funding by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (the "Grant") of a preclinical study of Mymetics' HIV vaccine candidate. This study follows a successfully completed smaller study by Mymetics at the Institute of Laboratory Animal Science in Beijing, China in which a two-component vaccine protected all monkeys against repeated AIDS virus exposures from persistent infection, an unprecedented result. One of the vaccine components demonstrated a strong safety and tolerance profile in a subsequent Phase I clinical trial in humans conducted by Mymetics under the oversight of the Federal Agency for Medicines and Health Products (FAGG) in Belgium. The new trial will begin in October 2014 and will involve 36 rhesus monkeys and compare two antigen vaccination regimens with a placebo, followed by intra-vaginal challenges with a live virus that carries a coat that differs from the one in the vaccine preparation. Results are expected at the end of 2015.
Mymetics issued a press release announcing the Grant, a copy of which is filed as exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
