| It has been widely acknowledged
that capacity constraints resulting from the global shortage
of manufacturing facilities for biotech products has the
potential to negatively impact the course of new products
into clinical development. Therefore, the ability of a Company
to manufacture its own products through the crucial early
stages of preclinical and clinical development has become
a key asset and critical differentiating feature in the
biotech industry. Viventia Biotech has built an enviable
biotech manufacturing infrastructure at its Winnipeg facility,
capable of meeting the Company's drug product needs from
preclinical development through to the completion of advanced
clinical trials. As a result, the Company is strategically
poised to control the output of its proprietary technology
platforms, unhindered by production capacity constraints.
Viventia has considerable expertise in the manufacturing
of clinical grade monoclonal antibodies and other biotech
products according to current Good Manufacturing Practices
(cGMP). In order to complement the output of Viventia’s
Armed Antibodies™ platform, the Company has focused
its expertise and strengthened its infrastructure for the
manufacturing of monoclonal antibody fragments in bacteria.
