Belleville, Ontario – May 5, 2017 – NovaVive Inc., an animal health immunobiology company, is pleased to announce that it is launching an equine-specific version of its Immunocidin® product for equine sarcoid tumors in response to demand by U.S. veterinarians. The new product, Immunocidin® Equine, is packaged in 5mL vials for the convenience of practitioners. The Company believes that there is no other regulator-approved equine sarcoid therapy in North America.

Equine sarcoids are locally aggressive fibroblastic neoplasms considered to be the most common skin tumors of horses worldwide. They are often found around the eyes, head/face, neck, chest, and shoulder, and at the site of old scars. Young to middle-aged horses are most commonly affected by sarcoids, and it is estimated that sarcoids affect 1 in 100 horses in North America.

Current treatment options include surgery, ligation, cryotherapy, topical treatment, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or laser removal; many of these treatments incur side effects. Immunotherapy is a safe and effective treatment option.

Immunocidin® Equine is administered by intratumoral injection, but the response is generalized and untreated sites frequently undergo regression as well
