An Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) licence for clinical trial manufacture granted by the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in a fully segregated, multi-purpose clinical trial material manufacturing facility (“CTM Unit“) for the bulk production of viral products intended to undergo clinical investigations is in place and currently a manufacturing campaign for the following vaccine candidate is ongoing;
Chikungunya vaccine VLA1553
A single-shot vaccine against a severe, growing threat VLA1553 is a monovalent, single dose, live-attenuated vaccine candidate for protection against chikungunya. The vaccine candidate is designed for prophylactic, active, single-dose immunization against chikungunya in humans over one year old. The vaccine aims for long-lasting protection and an anticipated safety profile similar to licensed vaccines for active immunization in adults and children.
Valneva successfully completed a Pivotal Phase 3 Trial of Single-Shot Chikungunya Vaccine candidate
SARS CoV-2 Inactivated Viral Vaccine VLA2001
The vaccine candidate is produced using the manufacturing platform of Valneva’s commercial Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccine using a Vero-cell based process to generate a highly-purified and inactivated whole virus vaccine candidate adjuvanted with Alum and CpG 1018.
Valneva initiated Phase 1/2 clinical study in December 2020
Positive Phase 3 results from a randomized, observer-blind controlled immunogenicity trial
Cov-Compare comparing the vaccine candidate VLA2001 to AZD12221 have been generated
Rolling submissions for initial approval of the VLA2001 vaccine candidate with the European Medicines Agency and the UK MHRA are ongoing and Valneva expects further regulatory approvals in the first quarter of 2022.
Batch manufacture at commercial scale was initiated in 2021 in a licenced CL3 Production Facility
