Today at the 18th Vaccine Congress in Lisbon, Portugal, new data will be unveiled demonstrating strong Proof-of-Concept (PoC) for the mRNA-based iteration of EVX-B2 in a pre-clinical environment.
Originally, EVX-B2 was engineered as a protein-based vaccine candidate, which had already achieved pre-clinical PoC. The latest pre-clinical findings for the mRNA-based version of the vaccine confirm that AI-Immunology™ identified antigens are versatile across different vaccine technologies. The data were generated in partnership with Afrigen Biologics.
“We are excited to announce the pre-clinical PoC for the mRNA version of EVX-B2, which marks another milestone for our 2024 objectives. It is gratifying to witness further validation of our AI-Immunology™ platform and its potential in developing innovative treatments, including for bacterial diseases. Currently, there is no existing vaccine for Gonorrhea, so this could lead to a pioneering solution. Additionally, this data reaffirms that our platform is versatile in terms of delivery modalities, presenting a compelling value proposition for both current and prospective partners,” stated Christian Kanstrup, CEO of Evaxion.
Petro Terblanche, CEO of Afrigen Biologics, also expressed enthusiasm about the outcomes of the collaboration: “With rising global challenges in antimicrobial resistance and the public health priority of effective interventions against increases in Gonorrhea cases, we are thrilled to have reached pre-clinical PoC for EVX-B2’s mRNA version, which shows promise as a future vaccine product.”
