Virpax Pharmaceuticals said the federal government has extended a collaboration on the development of Virpax's pain treatment.
The company said Thursday that the extended cooperative research and development agreement with the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences is a boon for NES100, its product candidate for managing acute and chronic non-cancer pain.
The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences is an institute of the National Institutes of Health, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The company's stock more than doubled to $1.21 in after hours trading after the extension was announced.
