Icosavax, Inc. (NASDAQ: ICVX) is a Seattle-based biopharmaceutical company committed to developing safe and effective vaccines targeting infectious diseases with significant unmet medical needs. Founded in 2017, the company harnesses breakthrough computationally-designed virus-like particle (VLP) technology, exclusively licensed from the Institute for Protein Design at the University of Washington.
Icosavax’s lead vaccine candidate, IVX-A12, is currently in Phase 2 clinical trials and targets respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV), aiming to deliver a first-in-class bivalent combination vaccine for older adults. Recent trial data indicates promising immune responses post-revaccination with their component IVX-121, suggesting potential for durable protection and differentiation in the RSV vaccine market.
The company's VLP platform is designed to enable the multivalent, particle-based display of complex viral antigens, aiming to induce broad, robust, and durable immune responses. This innovative technology is also being leveraged to develop vaccines targeting other critical pathogens, including influenza and SARS-CoV-2.
Icosavax is actively engaged in various stages of clinical trials and expects to announce topline interim data for the IVX-A12 Phase 2 trial by the end of 2023. The company continues to advance its pipeline with a vision of creating combination and pan-respiratory vaccines to address life-threatening respiratory diseases while aiming to reduce healthcare costs.
In addition to its promising vaccine candidates, Icosavax has established important partnerships and relies on third-party collaborations for manufacturing, research, and clinical testing. The company is navigating regulatory landscapes in the U.S. and internationally to bring its innovative solutions to market.
