WALTHAM, Mass., January 3, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Invivyd, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVVD), a biopharmaceutical company on a mission to protect the vulnerable from serious viral infectious diseases, today announced that it has requested Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for VYD222, a broadly neutralizing, half-life extended monoclonal antibody candidate, for the pre-exposure prevention of COVID-19 in immunocompromised adults and adolescents. The EUA submission was based on positive initial results from the CANOPY Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial of VYD222, as well as ongoing in vitro neutralization activity against relevant variants such as JN.1.
“We are tremendously pleased by the fact that VYD222 continues to demonstrate in vitro neutralization activity against the latest dominant variant, JN.1, as well as other prevalent SARS-CoV-2 strains,” said Dave Hering, Chief Executive Officer of Invivyd. “We believe that the demonstrated durability of VYD222 is reflective of our strategy to select antibody candidates that target conserved epitopes to achieve our stated goal of keeping pace with viral evolution.”
Mr. Hering added, “The submission of the EUA request for VYD222 represents an exciting milestone for Invivyd that was only made possible thanks to the unwavering dedication of our employees, the support of our investigators, and the invaluable contributions of all those who participated in the CANOPY trial. Many immunocompromised people do not achieve full benefit from COVID-19 vaccines as their immune systems are unable to provide sufficient defense against SARS-CoV-2. If authorized, we believe VYD222 could provide these vulnerable individuals with an important new preventive option.”
Seth Ginsberg, President and Co-Founder, Global Healthy Living Foundation, commented, “We are eagerly tracking the progress of new monoclonal antibodies because there are still countless immunocompromised people who remain vulnerable to the ravages of COVID-19. Sustained innovation is what is needed to keep pace with this virus, and we commend Invivyd and others working in this space for their commitment and dedication to serving those who are in urgent need of protection.”
On December 18, 2023, Invivyd announced positive initial results from the ongoing CANOPY pivotal clinical trial. VYD222 produced high serum virus neutralizing antibody (sVNA) titer levels against XBB.1.5 in the immunocompromised cohort. The company observed an encouraging, potential early signal of strong clinical protection from symptomatic COVID-19 in CANOPY, which would be expected based on the high sVNA titer levels and dose selected. In addition, the company believes that the initial results from CANOPY support an immunobridging approach which utilizes in vitro VYD222 potency data to calculate and efficiently determine the sVNA titer levels against new SARS-CoV-2 variants as they emerge. Initial results showed that the safety and tolerability profile of VYD222 remained favorable with no study drug related serious adverse events reported; adverse events attributed to VYD222 were Grade 1 or 2 (mild or moderate) in severity.
