Session details are as follows:

Date:     Wednesday, October 20, 2021
Time:     11:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Central European Time (CET) /

Title:      Update on Novavax’ NanoFlu vaccine and COVID-19-NanoFlu Combination Vaccine development
Novavax Participant:       Vivek Shinde, M.D., Vice President, Clinical Development
 
 

The company’s proprietary recombinant technology platform combines the power and speed of genetic engineering to efficiently produce highly immunogenic nanoparticles designed to address urgent global health needs. Novavax is conducting late-stage clinical trials for NVX-CoV2373, its vaccine candidate against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. NanoFlu™, its quadrivalent influenza nanoparticle vaccine, met all primary objectives in its pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in older adults. Both vaccine candidates incorporate Novavax’ proprietary saponin-based Matrix-M™ adjuvant to enhance the immune response and stimulate high levels of neutralizing antibodies.
