The victory of tens of billions of dollars, the revelation of the rise of the new vaccine elite

Before the new crown vaccine, Pfizer’s 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine was the world’s “king of vaccines”, with global sales of nearly 6 billion US dollars in 2018, far exceeding the second-place 9-valent HPV vaccine (3.15 billion US dollars). No one wants to miss such a big market. While domestic companies are still rolling up the 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine (PCV13), Vaxcyte is rolling up the price type upgrade. VAX-24 is a vaccine covering 24 virus types, while VAX-31 has rolled up 31 types. Of course, the 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine has brought epoch-making changes to the prevention of pneumonia. However, while the popularity of PCV13 has greatly increased, it has also brought new troubles: the replacement of virus types. Since the introduction of PCV13, the incidence of diseases caused by the serotypes included in the vaccine has decreased. However, there is a phenomenon called serotype replacement, that is, after widespread vaccination, the incremental ...

FDA Approves Updated COVID-19 Vaccines

By Mike Hollan The updated formulas should provide better protection against the currently circulating strains. FDA approved and authorized updated COVID-19 vaccines that research shows will provide better protection against the current strains circulating amongst the population.1 According to the federal agency, the mRNA vaccines have been updated with a monovalent component that makes them more effective against the Omicron variant KP.2 strain of the virus. In a press release, director of FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Peter Marks, MD, PhD, said, “Vaccination continues to be the cornerstone of COVID-19 prevention. These updated vaccines meet the agency’s rigorous, scientific standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality. Given waning immunity of the population from previous exposure to the virus and from prior vaccination, we strongly encourage those who are eligible to consider receiving an updated COVID-19 vaccine to provide better protection against currently circulating variants.” In June of this ...

AstraZeneca may pull plug on UK vaccine manufacturing plans

AstraZeneca is considering relocating its manufacturing facilities from the UK to the US, amidst potential cuts to state funding from the Labour government. UK Finance Minister Rachel Reeves has discussed plans to decrease state financial aid for the company’s £450m vaccine centre, as per the Financial Times. The pharmaceutical giant had announced plans to construct a manufacturing plant in Speke, Liverpool, as part of a £650m investment in the UK, in March 2024. Of this amount, £450m would be allocated to the facility in Speke while the other £200m would be used to develop facilities in Cambridge. Undisclosed sources briefed on discussions between the government and AstraZeneca said the Labour government may reduce the previous government’s pledge of £90m to £40m. Attracting manufacturing investment has been a key part of the life sciences strategy for the UK. The government has also pursued similar projects with other companies, similar to one ...

Pfizer and BioNTech’s Covid-19/flu combination vaccine falters in Phase III readout

Pfizer and BioNTech have announced that a Phase III trial studying their investigational combination mRNA vaccine for the treatment of influenza and Covid-19 has failed to meet one of its two primary endpoints. While the vaccine demonstrated a trend of higher responses in neutralising the influenza A strain compared to a licensed influenza vaccine, it failed to demonstrate non-inferiority against the influenza B strain in geometric mean titers (GMT) and seroconversion, as per a 16 August press release. Additionally, data indicated that the combination vaccine showed “comparable” responses for SARS-CoV-2 when compared to Pfizer’s licensed approved Covid-19 vaccine, Comirnaty (tozinameran). The randomised, parallel assignment Phase III study (NCT06178991) enrolled over 8,000 adults aged 18 to 64 years old to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a single dose of the combined vaccine for protection against influenza and Covid-19. No new safety signals were found in the Phase III study. ...

McMaster drug trial receives more than $6m to test smallpox vaccine against mpox

Researchers from McMaster University have received $6.7m from the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research to assess the effectiveness of a smallpox vaccine in providing protection against mpox after post-exposure. Beginning in August, the Smallpox Vaccine for Mpox Post-Exposure Prophylaxis: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial (SMART) will assess the effectiveness of the Bavarian Nordic smallpox vaccine, MVA-BN, in more than 1,500 participants in households with laboratory-confirmed mpox infection at sites in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda and Nigeria. Mpox is a disease caused by infection with a virus known as the monkeypox virus, which is part of the same family as the virus that causes smallpox. Symptoms include fever and headache, as well as painful lesions. In some cases, the disease can lead to bronchopneumonia, sepsis, encephalitis, loss of vision and even death. In the DRC, between June 2023 and 2024, ...

Pfizer’s RSV vaccine shows benefit in immuno-compromised adults in study

Pfizer said on Monday its respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine Abrysvo generated a strong immune response in a late-stage study of four groups of adults aged 18 and older with a compromised immune system. A single 120 microgram dose of the vaccine generated strong neutralising antibodies against both subtypes of RSV, called RSV-A and RSV-B, across all groups in the study, Pfizer said. Abrysvo was well-tolerated in the study and showed a safety profile consistent with findings from other studies of the vaccine, it added. The drugmaker plans to submit the data to regulatory agencies for review. The study tested two doses of Abrysvo in 203 adults across four groups – those with a type of lung cancer, end-stage kidney disease, autoimmune inflammatory disorder, and solid organ transplant recipients – all of whom have compromised immunity and are at risk of developing severe RSV-associated disease. Pfizer’s vaccine is currently approved ...

Pfizer touts positive topline data for RSV vaccine Abrysvo

Pfizer has announced positive topline results from a pivotal late-stage study of its respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine, Abrysvo, in adults who are immunocompromised and at risk of developing severe RSV-associated lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD). As per the 12 August press release, Abrysvo was found to be well tolerated in the substudy B portion of the pivotal Phase III MONeT study (NCT05842967). While substudy B evaluated two 120 µg dose doses of Abrysvo, Pfizer reported that a single 120 µg dose of the vaccine led to “strong neutralizing” responses against RSV-A and RSV-B. The safety profile of Abrysvo was consistent with that of previous studies. “Immunocompromised adults, such as patients with cancer or autoimmune disorders, have a substantially increased risk of experiencing severe complications from RSV, yet there are currently no vaccines approved for those aged 18 to 59 in the U.S.,” said senior vice president and CSO, Vaccine ...
