Invivyd to Pursue Rapid Immunobridging Pathway to Potential EUA for Treatment of COVID-19 in Moderately to Severely Immunocompromised People, Based on U.S. FDA Feedback
WALTHAM, Mass., May 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Invivyd, Inc. (Nasdaq:IVVD), a biopharmaceutical company devoted to delivering protection from serious viral infectious diseases, today announced its intention to submit an emergency use authorization (EUA) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for pemivibart for the treatment of mild to moderate symptomatic COVID-19 in certain immunocompromised people utilizing a rapid immunobridging pathway. This immunobridging pathway leverages a similar approach Invivyd used to achieve its current EUA for PEMGARDA™ (pemivibart) for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) of COVID-19 in certain immunocompromised people and was aligned in principle with the FDA. The immunobridging pathway for COVID-19 treatment is enabled by data from the Phase 2/3 clinical trial (STAMP) of adintrevimab, the prototype monoclonal antibody (mAb), for the treatment of COVID-191 and data from the ongoing CANOPY Phase 3 clinical trial of pemivibart for PrEP of COVID-19. The potential COVID-19 treatment EUA request would focus on the critical treatment needs of people in the U.S. who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise and for whom alternative COVID-19 treatment options are not clinically appropriate or accessible. Subsequent to the anticipated submission of an EUA request, Invivyd plans to initiate a compact clinical trial focused on confirmatory safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and clinical virology.
