Frequently asked questions about VAX-A1

What is VAX-A1?

VAX-A1 is an investigational monoclonal antibody being developed by Vaxcyte, Inc. for the prevention of Group A Streptococcal infection. It is in Phase 1 clinical development and is designed to be given to healthy young adults. VAX-A1 has not been approved by any regulatory agency.

What is VAX-A1 used for in Group A Streptococcal Infection?

VAX-A1 is being studied for the prevention of Group A Streptococcal infection in healthy adults. It is an investigational monoclonal antibody and has not been approved for any indication. The Phase 1 trial is evaluating its safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity in healthy young adults.

What does VAX-A1 target?

VAX-A1 targets multiple Streptococcus pyogenes antigens: ScpA, SpyAD, SLO, and GAC. By binding these targets, the monoclonal antibody is designed to interfere with Group A Streptococcus infection. This multi-antigen approach is intended to provide broad coverage against the pathogen.

Who makes VAX-A1?

VAX-A1 is being developed by Vaxcyte, Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker PCVX. Vaxcyte is the sponsor of the Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating VAX-A1 in healthy young adults.

What phase is VAX-A1 in?

VAX-A1 is in Phase 1 clinical development. The only trial is currently recruiting participants. VAX-A1 is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA or any other regulatory authority for any indication.

What clinical trials is VAX-A1 in?

VAX-A1 is being evaluated in a single Phase 1 trial, NCT07616934, titled A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of VAX-A1 in Healthy Young Adults. The trial is randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and plans to enroll 80 participants in Australia.

Is VAX-A1 the same as VAX-A1 Low or VAX-A1 Mid?

Yes, VAX-A1 Low and VAX-A1 Mid are alternative names for VAX-A1. These names may refer to different dose levels or formulations of the same investigational monoclonal antibody being developed by Vaxcyte, Inc. for Group A Streptococcal infection.
