Novavax announced that the FDA has removed the clinical hold on its COVID-19-Influenza Combination (CIC) and stand-alone influenza vaccine candidates. The FDA has cleared the company to begin enrolling participants for the planned Phase 3 trial after determining that Novavax satisfactorily addressed all clinical hold issues. The hold, announced on October 16, 2024, was due to a serious adverse event reported in a participant who received the investigational CIC vaccine in a Phase 2 trial completed in 2023. The adverse event, initially reported as motor neuropathy, was later reclassified as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which is not associated with vaccination. Novavax plans to start the Phase 3 trial as soon as possible.

Novavax, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVAX) announced that the U.S. FDA has placed a clinical hold on its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for COVID-19-Influenza Combination (CIC) and stand-alone influenza vaccine candidates. The hold is due to a spontaneous report of a serious adverse event (SAE) of motor neuropathy in a single CIC Phase 2 trial participant outside the U.S. who received the vaccine in January 2023.
The participant reported the SAE in September 2024, after the trial completed in July 2023. Novavax is working with the FDA to provide necessary information and resolve the clinical hold. The company's Chief Medical Officer, Robert Walker, MD, emphasized that safety is their top priority and that causality has not been established for this event. Previous COVID-19 and influenza trials by Novavax have shown no signals for motor neuropathy. The COVID-19 IND for Novavax's COVID-19 vaccine is not affected by this clinical hold.
