Arcturus Therapeutics Holdings Inc. has received IND clearance from the FDA to begin a phase I study of ARCT-2304, a self-amplifying mRNA (sa-mRNA) vaccine candidate for active immunization to prevent pandemic influenza disease caused by H5N1 virus.
Modified vaccinia Ankara immunization in nonhuman primate models of lethal mpox virus infection, although effective to some extent, has been linked to breakthrough lesions and throat swab viremia.
Previous reports have disclosed the development of Shigella conjugate vaccines (SCVs) using a platform squaric acid chemistry conjugation approach and carrier protein recombinant fragment of tetanus toxin heavy chain (rTTHc).
Clostridioides difficile has been traditionally isolated from healthcare facilities' inpatients, but it is increasingly being identified in people who have not recently been hospitalized and is more and more found in community settings. Investigators from Perelman School of Medicine at University of Pennsylvania have developed an mRNA-LNP vaccine with promising results in preventing and controlling C. difficile infection.
Researchers at University of Oxford have been awarded funding by Cancer Research UK to develop a vaccine to prevent ovarian cancer. The team will receive up to £600,000 (US$784,000) for the study over the next 3 years to support lab research on Ovarianvax.
Ege University scientists and their collaborators have detailed the preclinical characterization of a novel DNA vaccine encoding the SRS13 protein being developed for the prevention of chronic toxoplasmosis.
Researchers from Moderna Inc. and affiliated organizations presented preclinical data for the novel mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccine, mRNA-1769, against mpox virus.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has established a pandemic preparedness research network to conduct research on high-priority pathogens most likely to threaten human health with the goal of developing effective vaccines and monoclonal antibodies.
