What is being done to accelerate ZMappTM production?
Mapp and KBP are working with the U.S. government to accelerate scaled up
production. The work to date has been funded by grants and contracts that were only
sufficient to produce doses for animal safety and efficacy testing. The present epidemic
has changed the picture dramatically, and additional resources are being brought to bear
on scaling up. It is important to note that the emergency use of an experimental
medicine is a highly unusual situation. As a consequence global high-level discussions
concerning the policy, ethical, and medical implications of this exceptional situation have
been initiated.
