ExeVir bags €23M to take llama-derived COVID-19 drug into clinic

ExeVir Bio has raised €23 million ($27 million) to advance a llama-derived antibody against COVID-19. The financing, which attracted the support of Fund+ and UCB, follows research showing an approach similar to that used by Ablynx can yield single-domain antibodies (VHHs) that neutralize SARS-CoV-2.
