Sanaria Inc. and the Government of Equatorial Guinea last week signed an agreement that continues their joint commitment to develop Sanaria® PfSPZ Vaccine as a tool for malaria elimination. This follows a new, broader agreement between the Government of Equatorial Guinea (EG) and industry partners, Marathon Oil Corporation, Noble Energy Inc. and Atlantic Methanol Production Company (AMPCO), to sponsor clinical development of Sanaria® PfSPZ Vaccine, including the Phase 3 clinical program starting in 2020. This long standing, successful partnership highlights the unique involvement of an African government and private-sector energy companies in developing a vaccine for a largely African problem.
