Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On March 18, 2020, iBio, Inc. (the “Company” or “iBio”) issued a press release announcing its progress towards developing vaccine candidates for preventing infection from the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes the COVID-19 coronavirus disease. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

iBio created its SARS-CoV-2 Virus-Like Particle (“VLP”)-based constructs using its FastPharming System™ to produce the nanoparticles in, and purify them from, plants. The manufacturing platform not only provides for rapid development of research quantities of product, but also high-quality material that is readily scalable for producing doses for clinical trials and commercial use.

 

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 13, 2020, iBio filed four provisional patent applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in support of the VLP platform, as well as other technologies for treating or preventing infections with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
