Finally, Novavax, Inc. (NASDAQ:NVAX), ended its last trade with -0.69% loss, and closed at $10.10.

Novavax declared that the full data set from its clinical trial of the RSV F-protein recombinant nanoparticle vaccine candidate (RSV F Vaccine) in women of childbearing age (18-35 years) were published in the Journal of Infectious Disease. The Company formerly declared top-line results from the trial.

The manuscript describes the randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial that evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of two dose levels of the RSV F Vaccine with and without aluminum phosphate adjuvant. The trial enrolled 330 women of childbearing age who received either one or two intramuscular injections of a single-dose (60 or 90 µg) of vaccine or placebo at study days 0 and 28.

The manuscript details the noteworthy antibody response to the RSV F Vaccine counting a 6.5-15.6-fold improvement in anti-F IgG antibodies across all vaccine doses at day 56, with significantly higher levels in the two-dose adjuvanted regimens. Palivizumab-competing antibody (PCA) levels were undetectable at day 0 but raised up to between 205-325 µg/mL at day 56. Further, a 2.7 and 3.5-fold rise in RSV/A and RSV/B microneutralizing antibodies were detected at day 56, before the RSV season. Finally, between days 56 and 112, 21% (12/56) of placebo recipients showed evidence of a recent RSV infection by Western Blot contrast to 11% of vaccinees (26/244) (p = 0.04).

Novavax, Inc., a clinical-stage vaccine company, focuses on discovering, developing, and commercializing recombinant nanoparticle vaccines and adjuvants. The company produces its vaccines using its proprietary recombinant nanoparticle vaccine technology.
