LAVAL, Quebec–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Altasciences is pleased to have been chosen by Virpax® Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

This treatment is supplied in a pre-filled device for administration as a topical spray film.
The study will be conducted in Q2 2022 at Altasciences’ clinical pharmacology unit in Montreal, Canada. “We look forward to working with Altasciences to accelerate the development of this analgesic treatment and provide robust data in support of the 505(b)(2) FDA approval pathway,” stated Virpax’s Chairman & CEO, Anthony P.
