More WIRE STORIES about this company

 PROFILE
Avigen uses viruses as a vector of attack. The company is developing ways to use adeno-associated virus, a nonpathogenic human virus, to deliver therapeutic genes to cells to treat hemophilia, Gaucher disease, Parkinson's disease, and beta-thalassemia. Its lead candidate, Coagulin-B, would treat hemophilia B by allowing for both more potent and less frequent injections of the protein missing or deficient from the blood of hemophiliacs. The company has entered into a marketing agreement with Bayer for the product, which continues in clinical trials. Avigen also has licensing agreements with Research Corporation Technologies and BTG International, as well as various research institutions.
