The hot biotech company presented data today showing its vaccines worked well in pre-clinical studies in protecting against a pandemic influenza, as well as different strains of the virus.
“These are the first live-virus challenge data we have presented,” said Dr. Rick Bright, Novavax’s vice president of Global Influenza Programs. “These new data are exciting.”
The real excitement gets under way later this year, though, when trials begin in humans.
