GeoVax Labs (GOVX) – Vaccine Production Technology Reaches Milestone With Manufacturing Facility Validation


Thursday, March 07, 2024

GeoVax Labs, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel therapies and vaccines for solid tumor cancers and many of the world’s most threatening infectious diseases. The company’s lead program in oncology is a novel oncolytic solid tumor gene-directed therapy, Gedeptin®, presently in a multicenter Phase 1/2 clinical trial for advanced head and neck cancers. GeoVax’s lead infectious disease candidate is GEO-CM04S1, a next-generation COVID-19 vaccine targeting high-risk immunocompromised patient populations. Currently in three Phase 2 clinical trials, GEO-CM04S1 is being evaluated as a primary vaccine for immunocompromised patients such as those suffering from hematologic cancers and other patient populations for whom the current authorized COVID-19 vaccines are insufficient, and as a booster vaccine in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In addition, GEO-CM04S1 is in a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the vaccine as a more robust, durable COVID-19 booster among healthy patients who previously received the mRNA vaccines. GeoVax has a leadership team who have driven significant value creation across multiple life science companies over the past several decades.

Commercial Scale Production Facility Achieves Validation. GeoVax has announced that its manufacturing technology for producing commercial-scale MVA-based vaccines has been validated for production. This signifies the successful transfer of the technology from the research facility to the commercial cGMP manufacturing plant, with production runs that meet specifications for use in clinical trials and commercial sales. This was a milestone we had anticipated that allows higher quantities, faster production, and greater yields of its proprietary MVA-based vaccines.

The New Manufacturing Facility Cam Produce The Pipeline Vaccines. Products that can be made in the system include CM04S1, its vaccine currently in two different Phase 2 trials to stimulate protective responses against COVID for immunocompromised patients with hematological cancers and in Phase 2 as a universal booster for COVID. The facility can also produce the vaccines in development for infectious diseases including smallpox, Ebola, zika, and malaria.
