  • Novavax Inc (NASDAQ:NVAXannounced preclinical and clinical data on its recombinant protein COVID-19 vaccine candidate, NVX-CoV2373, directed against the SARS-CoV-2 Beta (B.1.351) variant identified in South Africa.
  • The vaccine candidate is advancing in two Phase 2 studies, including a Phase 2b trial in South Africa.
  • The company said testing of blood serum of random thirty participants of a Phase 2 trial who had received both doses of NVX-CoV2373 revealed robust antibody responses to the original version of the coronavirus as well as against the Alpha variant first found in the U.K. and the Beta variant.
  • However, the response against the Beta variant was slightly less, Novavax said.
  • The company will conduct further clinical testing of the Beta-focused vaccine in the fall of 2021.
  • Novavax also said preclinical studies in mice and baboons found that a different vaccine specifically targeting the South African variant, dubbed Beta, produced immune response and protection.
  • Previously, Novavax's COVID-19 shot met the primary endpoint with a vaccine efficacy of 89.3% against mild, moderate, or severe COVID-19 in Phase 3 trial conducted in the U.K.
  • Price Action: NVAX shares are up 6.16% at $222.60 in the premarket session on the last check Monday.
