Key Points: 
  • The amendment expands GeoVax’s commercial license to include Mpox and smallpox as additional indications.
  • Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA) is the vaccine currently used and stockpiled in the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile for immunization against the Mpox and smallpox viruses.
  • The addition of the Mpox and smallpox indications to our NIAID License Agreement complements GeoVax’s license agreement with COH for GEO-CM04S1, which we also recently amended to obtain development and commercialization rights against orthopoxviruses in addition to SARS-CoV-2.
  • For those regions/populations where Mpox and/or smallpox may be of a concern, we believe our COVID-19 vaccine will be a better choice.”

Invivyd Announces Positive Initial Results from Ongoing CANOPY Phase 3 Pivotal Clinical Trial Investigating VYD222 for the Prevention of COVID-19

“VYD222 produced high serum virus neutralizing antibody (sVNA) titer levels against XBB.1.5 in the IC cohort, essentially replicating the titer levels observed in our Phase 1 clinical trial of VYD222 in healthy volunteers.

Key Points: 
  • “VYD222 produced high serum virus neutralizing antibody (sVNA) titer levels against XBB.1.5 in the IC cohort, essentially replicating the titer levels observed in our Phase 1 clinical trial of VYD222 in healthy volunteers.
  • We are also encouraged by the potential early signal of strong clinical protection from symptomatic COVID-19 in the CANOPY clinical trial to date, which would be expected given the high VYD222 sVNA titer levels and dose selected.
  • We are encouraged by the initial results from CANOPY that we believe are supportive of an immunobridging approach for VYD222.
  • Importantly, VYD222 continues to show neutralizing activity against variants with the F456L mutation that is found in the majority of variants in the U.S. currently.
