Frequently asked questions about VLA15 with Alum

What is VLA15 used for?

VLA15 is an investigational vaccine being developed for the prevention of Lyme disease, also referred to as Lyme borreliosis, including Lyme borreliosis of the nervous system. It is designed to protect against infection caused by Borrelia bacteria transmitted through tick bites.

How does VLA15 work?

VLA15 targets OspA, a protein found on the surface of Borrelia bacteria, the cause of Lyme disease. By targeting OspA, the vaccine aims to generate an immune response that neutralizes the bacteria in the tick before transmission to humans, potentially preventing infection.

Who is developing VLA15?

VLA15 is being developed by Pfizer, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol PFE. Pfizer is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the vaccine's safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity for Lyme disease prevention.

What phase is VLA15 in?

VLA15 is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational vaccine, meaning it has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. Pfizer is conducting multiple Phase 3 trials to assess its efficacy, safety, and dosing schedules in diverse populations.

What clinical trials is VLA15 in?

VLA15 is being studied in four clinical trials. NCT05477524 is a completed Phase 3 efficacy trial with 12,546 participants. NCT05634811 is a completed safety study in children. NCT07226882 is an active, not recruiting study on dosing schedules. NCT07500506 is recruiting for a fifth dose safety study.

Is VLA15 the same as a 6-valent OspA-based Lyme disease vaccine?

Yes, VLA15 is a 6-valent OspA-based Lyme disease vaccine. Clinical trial titles describe it as such, indicating it targets six different OspA protein variants to provide broad protection against diverse Borrelia strains causing Lyme disease.
