Frequently asked questions about VLA1601

What is VLA1601?

VLA1601 is an investigational vaccine candidate being developed for the prevention of Zika virus infection. It is an inactivated, adjuvanted whole Zika virus vaccine designed to stimulate an immune response against the virus. Valneva SE is developing VLA1601, and it has been studied in Phase 1 clinical trials in healthy adult volunteers.

What is VLA1601 used for?

VLA1601 is being developed for the prevention of Zika virus infection and Zika virus disease. It is intended for use in healthy adults as a prophylactic vaccine. The candidate has been evaluated in Phase 1 trials to assess safety and immunogenicity in this population.

What does VLA1601 target?

VLA1601 targets the Zika virus. As an inactivated, adjuvanted whole virus vaccine candidate, it presents the entire inactivated virus to the immune system with an adjuvant to enhance the response. The goal is to generate protective immunity against Zika virus infection.

Who is developing VLA1601?

VLA1601 is being developed by Valneva SE, a biopharmaceutical company whose ticker symbol is VALN. Valneva is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating this Zika vaccine candidate.

What phase is VLA1601 in?

VLA1601 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It has not been approved by the FDA and remains an investigational vaccine candidate. Two Phase 1 trials have been completed, and no active trials are currently listed for this candidate.

What clinical trials is VLA1601 in?

VLA1601 has been evaluated in two completed Phase 1 trials. NCT06334393 was a Phase 1 trial assessing safety and immunogenicity of the inactivated, adjuvanted whole Zika virus vaccine candidate in 150 healthy adults in the United States. NCT03425149 was a randomized, placebo-controlled, observer-blinded Phase 1 study in 67 healthy adults.
