Novavax's NVX-CoV2373 COVID-19 Vaccine is set for review by the FDA's VRBPAC on June 7, 2022. This landmark review marks NVX-CoV2373 as the first protein-based COVID-19 vaccine to undergo evaluation in the U.S. The vaccine demonstrated 90.4% efficacy in a Phase 3 trial involving 29,960 participants. Notably, it has not yet received U.S. authorization, although it has conditional approvals in other regions. Novavax continues to collaborate with international partners for manufacturing and distribution, emphasizing the urgent need for diverse vaccine options amid ongoing pandemic challenges.
Novavax has initiated the administration of booster doses of NVX-CoV2373, its COVID-19 vaccine, in the pediatric expansion of the PREVENT-19 Phase 3 trial for participants aged 12 to 17. This trial aims to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a third dose, with initial results expected in the second half of 2022. The booster dose mirrors the previous two-dose regimen and will be given at least five months after the second dose. While Novavax emphasizes the ongoing need for alternative vaccine options, NVX-CoV2373 has yet to receive U.S. FDA authorization.
Novavax has announced initial data from its Phase 1/2 trial for a COVID-19-Influenza combination vaccine, demonstrating that the candidate is well-tolerated and immunogenic.
