Exciting news for Novavax, Inc. was announced today and that news included that it has successfully completed a pre-clinical safety and efficacy study of its RSV vaccine candidate in cotton rats. These results are needed to assist an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to advance this novel recombinant F protein particle based RSV (RSV-F) vaccine candidate into clinical development.
"We are excited to report steady progress towards the development of a vaccine against RSV, an important virus that is the leading cause of viral death in infants," said Dr. Rahul Singhvi, President and CEO of Novavax. "A safe and effective vaccine against RSV is especially needed in very young children since RSV infection does not provoke lasting immunity. An effective vaccine would also be important in adults, especially the elderly, where RSV illness is common. There is currently no approved vaccine for the prevention of RSV and the market potential for such a vaccine could exceed $1 billion annually."
