Presentation Title: Vaccine Induction of Broadly-Specific Antibody and T Cell Responses to Combat SARS-CoV-2 Variation
Dr. Newman’s presentation will focus on results delineating the unique immune system driven mechanisms that contribute to the broad efficacy of GeoVax’s next-generation Covid-19 vaccine, GEO-CM04S1.
About GEO-CM04S1
GEO-CM04S1 is based on GeoVax’s MVA viral vector platform, which supports the presentation of multiple vaccine antigens to the immune system in a single dose. GEO-CM04S1 encodes for both the spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) antigens of SARS-CoV-2 and is specifically designed to induce both antibody and T cell responses to those parts of the virus less likely to mutate over time. The more broadly functional engagement of the immune system is designed to protect against severe disease caused by continually emerging variants of Covid-19. Vaccines of this format should not require frequent and repeated modification or updating.
GEO-CM04S1 is currently being evaluated in three ongoing Phase 2 clinical trials:
- As a primary vaccine in immunocompromised patients (with hematologic cancers receiving cell transplants or CAR-T therapy). ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04977024. A recent presentation of unpublished data from the open-label portion of the trial indicates that GEO-CM04S1 is highly immunogenic in these patients, inducing both antibody responses, including neutralizing antibodies, and T cell responses.
- As a booster vaccine in immunocompromised patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a recognized high-risk group for whom current mRNA vaccines and monoclonal antibody (MAb) therapies appear inadequate relative to providing protective immunity. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05672355.
- As a booster vaccine for healthy patients who have previously received the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccine. This trial was fully enrolled in
September 2023 and final results are expected in Fourth Quarter 2024, reflecting a 12-month tracking of study patients. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04639466.
