Second-Generation mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate, CV2CoV, Demonstrates Improved Immune Response and Protection in Preclinical Study

The Pharma Data

Better activation of innate and adaptive immune responses was achieved with CV2CoV, resulting in faster response onset, higher titers of antibodies, and stronger memory B and T cell activation as compared to the first-generation candidate, CVnCoV. “In Induction of innate immunity was investigated via specific cytokine markers.

CureVac provides update on Phase 2b/3 trial of first-generation COVID-19 vaccine candidate, CVnCoV

The Pharma Data

Available data were communicated with the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The quality of the immune response was comparable to recovered COVID-19 patients, closely mimicking the immune response after natural COVID-19 infection. CureVac N.V. Initial analyses suggest age and strain dependent efficacy. About CureVac.
