Bavarian Nordic Announces Positive Results of Pivotal Phase 3 Study of IMVAMUNE® Smallpox Vaccine

Bavarian Nordic (OTC:BVNRY) announced positive results from a Phase 3 pivotal study of its investigational, non-replicating smallpox vaccine, IMVAMUNE. The study achieved both of its primary endpoints, demonstrating IMVAMUNE’s efficacy in comparison to ACAM2000, the current U.S. licensed replicating smallpox vaccine.

As quoted in the press release:

“The success of this study represents a hallmark achievement at Bavarian Nordic. These and earlier study results validate the promise of IMVAMUNE for the prevention of smallpox and support product registration with the U.S. FDA,” said Paul Chaplin, President & Chief Executive Officer of Bavarian Nordic. “This program has only been possible through the consistent and strong support of numerous U.S. Government agencies and demonstrates what can be achieved through a successful public-private partnership to protect the public from the deliberate release of the smallpox virus.”
