Invivyd Announces Antiviral Activity of VYD222 (pemivibart) Against SARS-CoV-2 KP.1.1 FLiRT & KP.3 Variants
14 Giugno 2024 - 1:01PM
Invivyd, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVVD), a biopharmaceutical company devoted
to delivering protection from serious viral infectious diseases,
today announced that VYD222 (pemivibart), a half-life extended
investigational monoclonal antibody (mAb), shows continued in vitro
neutralization activity in pseudovirus assays designed to represent
the predominant emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2, including the
KP.1.1 FLiRT and KP.3 variants. FLiRT variants account for over
half of circulating SARS-CoV-2 variant sequences for the two-week
period ending June 8, 2024, with KP.3 prevalence increasing and the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) predicting it will
become the most dominant SARS-CoV-2 lineage nationally in the near
term. Of note, VYD222 has previously demonstrated antiviral in
vitro neutralization activity against ancestral XBB lineage viruses
that also encoded mutations described in the FLip and FLiRT
nomenclature.
“The VYD222 epitope has remained stable with a calculated 99.8%
of sequences submitted to Global Initiative on Sharing All
Influenza Data (GISAID) in 2024 demonstrating strict conservation
at positions within five angstroms of the VYD222 binding
interface,” said Dr. Robert Allen, Chief Scientific Officer of
Invivyd. “Of note, there have been no observed changes to residues
within this defined VYD222:RBD binding interface for the spike
proteins encoded by the KP.1.1 FLiRT and KP.3 variants. We remain
pleased with the continued demonstrated in vitro neutralization
activity of VYD222 and VYD2311 and will continue monitoring and
assessing going forward.”
Invivyd continually monitors the SARS-CoV-2 variant landscape
using VivydTools, its in-house proprietary software that tracks
virus variation across SARS-CoV-2, towards enabling early detection
and characterization of neutralization activity of emergent
variants, including FLiRT variants.
About VYD222VYD222 is a half-life extended
monoclonal antibody (mAb) candidate being investigated for the
pre-exposure prophylaxis (prevention) of COVID-19 and the treatment
of mild to moderate symptomatic COVID-19 in certain
immunocompromised adults and adolescents. VYD222 has
demonstrated in vitro neutralizing activity in
pseudotyped virus-like particle and authentic virus neutralization
assays against various pre-Omicron and Omicron variants, including
JN.1. VYD222 was engineered from adintrevimab, Invivyd’s
investigational mAb that has a robust safety data package and
provided evidence of clinical efficacy in global Phase 2/3 clinical
trials for both the prevention and treatment of
COVID-19. VYD222 has not been approved by the U.S. FDA or any
other regulatory authority.
About InvivydInvivyd, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVVD) is a
biopharmaceutical company devoted to delivering protection from
serious viral infectious diseases, beginning with SARS-CoV-2. The
company’s proprietary INVYMAB™ platform approach combines
state-of-the-art viral surveillance and predictive modeling with
advanced antibody engineering. INVYMAB is designed to facilitate
the rapid, serial generation of new monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to
keep pace with evolving viral threats. In March 2024, Invivyd
received emergency use authorization (EUA) from the U.S. FDA for
its first mAb in a planned series of innovative antibody
candidates. Visit https://invivyd.com/ to learn more.

StatementsThis press release contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,”
“could,” “expects,” “intends,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,”
and “future” or similar expressions (as well as other words or
expressions referencing future events, conditions or circumstances)
are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements include statements concerning, among
other things, the continued neutralization activity of VYD222 and
VYD2311 against dominant SARS-CoV-2 variants, including KP.1.1 and
KP.3; predictions regarding the future of the SARS-CoV-2 variant
landscape and the company’s plans to monitor such landscape using
its in-house proprietary software designed towards enabling early
detection and characterization of neutralization activity of
emerging variants; the company’s devotion to delivering protection
from serious viral infectious diseases, beginning with SARS-CoV-2;
the design of the company’s INVYMAB platform approach to facilitate
the rapid, serial generation of new mAbs to keep pace with evolving
viral threats; the company’s plans for a series of innovative
antibody candidates; and other statements that are not historical
fact. The company may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or
expectations disclosed in the company’s forward-looking statements
and you should not place undue reliance on the company’s
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the company’s
actual results to differ materially from the results described in
or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without
limitation: whether VYD222, VYD2311 or any other product candidate
is able to demonstrate and sustain neutralizing activity against
major SARS-CoV-2 variants, particularly in the face of viral
evolution; variability of results in models used to predict
activity against SARS-CoV-2 variants; potential variability in
neutralizing activity of product candidates tested in different
assays, such as pseudovirus assays and authentic assays; whether
the company is able to successfully submit any future EUA request
to the FDA, and the timing, scope and outcome of any such EUA
request; uncertainties related to the regulatory authorization or
approval process; changes in the regulatory environment; the
ability to maintain a continued acceptable safety, tolerability and
efficacy profile of any product candidate following regulatory
authorization or approval; the timing and progress of the company’s
discovery, preclinical and clinical development activities;
unexpected safety or efficacy data observed during preclinical
studies or clinical trials; the predictability of clinical success
of the company’s product candidates based on neutralizing activity;
the risk that results of preclinical studies or clinical trials may
not be predictive of future results, and interim data are subject
to further analysis; the company’s reliance on third parties with
respect to virus assay creation and product candidate testing and
with respect to its clinical trials; changes in expected or
existing competition; the complexities of manufacturing mAb
therapies; the company’s ability to leverage its INVYMAB platform
approach to facilitate the rapid, serial generation of new mAbs to
keep pace with evolving viral threats; any litigation and other
proceedings or government investigations relating to the company;
the company’s ability to continue as a going concern; and whether
the company has adequate funding to meet future operating expenses
