DGAP-News: Novavax to Present RSV Vaccine Clinical and Preclinical Results at ICAAC

Novavax, Inc. 03.09.2013 14:30 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROCKVILLE, Md., 2013-09-03 14:30 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Novavax, Inc. (Nasdaq:NVAX) a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company creating novel vaccines based on recombinant nanoparticle technology, today announced that it will present data from recent clinical and preclinical studies of its respiratory syncytial virus F-protein (RSV F) nanoparticle vaccine candidate in poster sessions at the 53rd Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) in Denver Colorado, September 11-13, 2013. One poster will describe in detail the immunogenicity and safety of Novavax' RSV F nanoparticle vaccine observed in a Phase 1 clinical study of 220 healthy elderly adults (>=60 years of age, mean age of 68 years of age), top-line results of which were reported by Novavax in July. The second poster will present data from a preclinical passive immunization and challenge study which evaluated the protective effects of RSV F nanoparticle vaccine-induced palivizumab-like antibodies in a relevant model, the cotton rat, which was previously predictive for protection in infant passive immunization studies. The poster presentation numbers, titles, dates and times are listed below: -- Poster B-501d: 'RSV F Protein Vaccine Is Well-Tolerated and Immunogenic in Elders' will present data from the company's recently completed Phase 1 clinical trial of its RSV vaccine candidate in healthy elderly adults. [Exhibit Hall A, Wednesday, September 11 from 11:00am to 1:00 pm] -- Poster B-501a: 'Passive Immunization with RSV F Vaccine-Induced Polyclonal Antibodies Protect Cotton Rats From RSV A Challenge' [Exhibit Hall A, Wednesday, September 11 from 11:00am to 1:00 pm] About RSV RSV is a major respiratory pathogen in all humans regardless of age. In healthy adults, RSV infections are generally mild to moderate in severity, but may be more severe in infants and young children as well as the elderly and adults with underlying chronic cardiac or pulmonary disease. It is estimated that between 11,000 to 17,000 adults die of RSV infection annually in the U.S., with up to 180,000 hospitalizations for serious respiratory symptoms. Globally, RSV is a common cause of childhood respiratory infection, with a disease burden of 64 million cases and approximately 160,000 deaths annually. Severe RSV disease results in 3.4 million hospital admissions per year globally and disproportionately affects infants below six months of age.
