19-12-2011: NovImmune announced that Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, initiated a First-in-Human study with anti-IL-17 (NI-1401, RG7624), a fully human monoclonal antibody designed to specifically and selectively bind to the human IL-17 family of cytokines. The anti-IL-17 antibody was generated at NovImmune and licensed to Genentech in July 2010. The initiation of the Phase I clinical trial triggers a milestone payment from Genentech of an undisclosed amount.

Jack Barbut, CEO, commented "With the compound entering man, NovImmune is gratified to see Genentech’s continued commitment to the anti-IL-17 program. This news creates an additional milestone as this is the fifth NovImmune therapeutic antibody to enter clinical development; a significant achievement for a small biotech company."
