hVIVO lands third challenge trial contract as market picks up sharply

hVIVO PLC (AIM:HVO) chief executive Yamin 'Mo' Khan tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that the company has secured its third human challenge trial contract in recent months, this time with a new European biotech client for an influenza study starting almost immediately. Khan describes a "significant uptick" in pipeline opportunities and contract conversions, a marked improvement on the slowdown seen in 2025. Crucially, hVIVO is now signing full clinical trial agreements rather than earlier-stage deals, reducing cancellation risk and bringing revenue recognition forward. The company has strong visibility over 2026 revenues and remains on track for high single-digit growth. As Khan puts it: "We are on target for that. But this contract also helped us to cement some of the revenue visibility going into 2027."
