The data demonstrate a durable response six months after vaccinations. Six months post-vaccination, neutralization titers were respectively six times and 10 times higher than pre-boost titers for the Wuhan and Omicron BA.1.
Maybe, more importantly, better results compared to other mRNA vaccines. Data shows less than a 50% decline in the peak neutralizing titers after six months compared to the data published for mRNA vaccines.
Although the data is based on small population (41 subjects), this is another dataset that brings support behind the concept, that the vaccine could be a universal booster vaccine inducing strong and durable immune responses, without the need to modify the vaccine. Therefore, having a selling point against the current mRNA vaccines.
The announcement confirms the study design in phase 3 and gives a few more details. In the message, there is no further mention/confirmation of the expected timeline with phase 3 data before year-end, but also not the opposite.
The discussion of this dataset could be one of the focus points when ExpreS2ion Biotechnologies report Q3 2022 results on the 17th of November. On the same day, we host an event with CEO Bent Frandsen and CFO Keith Alexander where you can ask questions live.
