-- Phase 2b study in healthy volunteers met primary endpoints of overall safety and induction of mucosal immunity ---- BPZE1 prevented colonization from re-vaccination/challenge in 90% of subjects with no vaccine related serious adverse events --WESTON, Fla., Sept. 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ILiAD Biotechnologies, LLC (ILiAD) today presented positive topline Phase 2b trial results of its lead pertussis vaccine candidate BPZE1 at the virtual World Vaccine Congress. BPZE1, a live attenuated pertussis vaccine, met both primary endpoints of overall safety and induction of mucosal immunity.“With limited duration of immunity and the inability to significantly stop transmission, acellular vaccines have been associated with the resurgence of whooping cough,” said Cheryl Keech, M.D., Ph.D., chief medical officer and executive vice president of clinical research at ILiAD. “We need a vaccine that can effectively stop the spread of pertussis. In this study, BPZE1 demonstrated reduced nasal colonization and induction of durable mucosal immunity — two key factors necessary for the prevention of transmission and reduction of epidemic pertussis cycles.”
