About NVX-CoV2373NVX-CoV2373 is
a protein-based vaccine candidate engineered from the genetic
sequence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 disease.
NVX-CoV2373 was created using Novavax’ recombinant nanoparticle
technology to generate antigen derived from the coronavirus spike
(S) protein. It is adjuvanted with Novavax’ patented saponin-based
Matrix-M™ to enhance the immune response and stimulate high levels
of neutralizing antibodies. NVX-CoV2373 contains purified protein
antigen and can neither replicate, nor can it cause COVID-19. In
preclinical studies, NVX-CoV2373 induced antibodies that block
binding of spike protein to cellular receptors and provided
protection from infection and disease. NVX-CoV2373 was generally
well-tolerated and elicited robust antibody responses numerically
superior to that seen in human convalescent sera in Phase 1/2
clinical testing. NVX-CoV2373 is currently being evaluated in two
pivotal Phase 3 trials: a trial in the U.K that completed
enrollment in November and a trial in the U.S. and Mexico that
began in December. It is also being tested in two ongoing Phase 2
studies that began in August: a Phase 2b trial in South Africa, and
a Phase 1/2 continuation in the U.S. and Australia.
About Matrix-M™Novavax’
patented saponin-based Matrix-M™ adjuvant has demonstrated a potent
and well-tolerated effect by stimulating the entry of antigen
presenting cells into the injection site and enhancing antigen
presentation in local lymph nodes, boosting immune response.
About NovavaxNovavax,
Inc. (Nasdaq: NVAX) is a late-stage biotechnology company that
promotes improved health globally through the discovery,
development and commercialization of innovative vaccines to prevent
serious infectious diseases. The Company’s proprietary recombinant
technology platform combines the power and speed of genetic
engineering to efficiently produce highly immunogenic nanoparticles
designed to address urgent global health needs. Novavax is
conducting late-stage clinical trials for NVX-CoV2373, its vaccine
candidate against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
NanoFlu™, its quadrivalent influenza nanoparticle vaccine, met all
primary objectives in its pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in older
adults and will be advanced for regulatory submission. Both vaccine
candidates incorporate Novavax’ proprietary saponin-based Matrix-M™
adjuvant to enhance the immune response and stimulate high levels
of neutralizing antibodies.
