Oramed Pharmaceuticals and Oravax Medical to be Featured in Alliance Global Partners' Grand Rounds: A Webinar in Biotech and Specialty Pharma

NEW YORK, April 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: ORMP) (TASE: ORMP) (www.oramed.com), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development of oral drug delivery systems, today announced that CEO Nadav Kidron will be featured in a live webinar titled Grand Rounds: a Webinar in Biotech and Specialty Pharma hosted by James Molloy, Managing Director of Equity Research, Biotechnology and Specialty Pharmaceuticals at Alliance Global Partners on Monday, April 26, 2021  at 11:00 Eastern. 

Mr. Kidron, along with Premas Biotech Co-Founder and Managing Director Dr. Prabuddha Kundu, will discuss Oramed Pharmaceuticals' oral insulin drug, currently in Phase 3 clinical trials, and the oral COVID-19 vaccine candidate of Oravax Medical Inc., which is 63% owned by Oramed Pharmaceuticals. Pre-clinical trials have shown that Oravax's oral vaccine candidate produces antibodies after a single dose and may potentially be a better candidate for protection against COVID-19 variants due to triple antigen targeting. Clinical trials are expected to begin this quarter.
