The newly published data features a direct comparison of CV2CoV with the licensed mRNA vaccine, Pfizer Inc (NYSE:PFE) / BioNTech SE's (NASDAQ:BNTX) COVID-19 shot, Comirnaty.
Neutralizing antibody levels measured following complete vaccination of animals with either 12µg of CV2CoV or a 30µg standard dose of Comirnaty were shown to be highly comparable.
The data confirm how targeted optimizations of a non-chemically modified mRNA can significantly improve immune responses in a preclinical model.
