Invivyd (IVVD) expands VYD2311 Phase 3 and pushes potent measles antibody VMS063 toward clinic
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Invivyd, Inc. provides detailed updates on its COVID-19 antibody program and unveils a new measles antibody candidate. The pivotal Phase 3 DECLARATION study of VYD2311 for pre-exposure COVID-19 prophylaxis has been upsized by about 500 participants beyond an initial 1,818, after a pre-specified, conservative, blinded sample size re-estimation showed enough events to support high-end efficacy targets. Top-line data are now expected in the third quarter of 2026, with a pediatric VYD2311 study in children 0–11 years, called DRUMMER, planned only if DECLARATION is successful. Invivyd also introduces VMS063, a highly potent, half-life-extended measles monoclonal antibody targeting the conserved Fusion protein, showing picogram- to low-nanogram-per-milliliter neutralization in vitro across key measles lineages. VMS063 has entered IND-enabling work for near-term clinical development, aimed at treatment and prophylaxis in high-risk groups amid rising U.S. measles cases and waning herd immunity.

Insights
Invivyd strengthens its COVID-19 Phase 3 dataset and adds a high-potential measles antibody to its pipeline.
Invivyd reports that pooled, blinded COVID-19 events in the Phase 3 DECLARATION trial are already robust, triggering a pre-specified upsizing of about 500 subjects beyond 1,818 randomized. This is intended to secure strong statistical power across a range of potential VYD2311 efficacy levels.
The company now guides to top-line DECLARATION results in the third quarter of 2026, shifting from an earlier mid-2026 window. Invivyd has also aligned with the U.S. FDA on an initial Pediatric Study Plan, with the DRUMMER study in children aged 0–11 years to proceed only if DECLARATION succeeds, indicating a staged approach to lifecycle expansion.
On measles, Invivyd advances VMS063, a half-life-extended monoclonal antibody targeting the conserved measles Fusion protein, showing picogram to low single-digit nanogram per milliliter IC50 values across circulating lineages. IND-enabling and manufacturing work has begun, positioning VMS063 for early clinical testing as U.S. measles cases rise and vaccination coverage declines.
