CureVac indicates immune response from COVID-19 vaccine candidate
German biotech firm CureVac N.V. yesterday announced interim data from its ongoing Phase 1 dose-escalation study evaluating its CVnCoV SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidate for safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity.
CureVac said it has early indications that CVnCoV generates a balanced immune response, similar to that of natural COVID-19 infection. The drug maker said its data supports the beginning of a Phase 2b/3 clinical trial before the end of 2020 for a 12 microgram dose of the candidate.
