Soligenix COVID-19 Vaccine Boosts Neutralizing Activity Against Covid-19 Including Delta and Omicron Variants
Neutralizing antibodies increased up to 27-fold within one week; up to 243-fold within three weeks
Soligenix, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNGX), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products to treat rare diseases where there is an unmet medical need, shared notable results from its recent booster vaccination study in the fight against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
The company’s CiVax™ booster vaccine enhanced neutralizing antibody responses against Covid-19—including both the Delta and Omicron variants—in non-human primates.
The company’s CiVax™ booster vaccine enhanced neutralizing antibody responses against Covid-19—including both the Delta and Omicron variants—in non-human primates.
- The CiVax™ booster vaccine was given seven months after primary vaccination; neutralizing antibodies against Delta and original strain increased up to 27-fold within one week and up to 243-fold within three weeks. Omicron neutralizing antibody levels were undetectable prior to booster vaccination, and attained presumed protective levels within one week of vaccination.
- Of particular note, the CiVax™ vaccine platform is stable at ambient temperatures, potentially removing the need for frozen storage and distribution. CiVax™ previously demonstrated robust immune response in mice.
- These results are consistent with the broad-spectrum activity observed to date with CiVax™ on primary vaccination, as described in an ACS Infectious Diseases article.
The ultimate goal is to find a faster resolution to the global pandemic and curb further evolution of the virus that causes Covid-19. Further, a vaccine built on many years of proven vaccine technology may be good news to vaccine-hesitant populations. Rapid vaccine administration worldwide is necessary to curtail disease spread and slow or pre-empt evolution of mutations.
These most recent results are part of the ongoing collaboration with Dr. Axel Lehrer, Associate Professor at the Department of Tropical Medicine, Medical Microbiology and Pharmacology, John A. Burns School of Medicine and University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. CiVax™ development continues under a non-dilutive $1.5 million Small Business Innovation Research grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded to Soligenix in December 2020.
