CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd.’s SYS-6026 has obtained clearance from China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to enter clinical trials for the treatment of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 or 18.
Researchers from Moderna Inc. and affiliated organizations presented preclinical data for the novel mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccine, mRNA-1769, against mpox virus.
Following the World Health Organization’s escalation of mpox to a public health emergency of international concern on Aug. 14 and the emergence of what appears to be a more severe strain of the orthopoxvirus, the spotlight has focused on a handful of companies working on vaccines and antivirals. Shares of Geovax Labs Inc., Emergent Biosolutions Inc. and Tonix Pharmaceuticals Inc. were all trading up Aug. 19.

CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. has received clearance from China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to conduct clinical trials in China with SYS-6016, the company’s mRNA respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine.
Previous studies have found that the effectiveness of vaccines can be increased with the knockdown of HBsAg using a small interfering RNA (siRNA). The efficacy of a bivalent mRNA vaccine in combination with the siRNA AD-66810, which targets the X gene expression in the hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome, was tested in a murine model of AAV/HBV by scientists from Clearb Therapeutics Inc.
A preclinical trial in mice and ferrets of an experimental mRNA vaccine against the H5 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus generated neutralizing antibodies and prevented severe illness and mortality of the animals.
Researchers from the University of Florida have developed a novel mRNA cancer vaccine that aims to reprogram the immune system to target and attack cancer cells effectively. The study led by Elias Sayour reported a new mRNA vaccine design where the mRNA payload was wrapped into a multilamellar vesicle within an onion-like hierarchical structure. The findings were published in the May 9, 2024 issue of Cell.
