Author: Benzinga Newsdesk | May 15, 2025 08:17am

Vaxart, Inc. (NASDAQ:VXRT) today announced that it has received approval from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), to initiate dosing in the 10,000-participant portion of its ongoing Phase 2b clinical trial evaluating its oral pill COVID-19 vaccine candidate.

The Phase 2b trial is a double-blind, multi-center, randomized, comparator-controlled study. It is designed to evaluate the relative efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of Vaxart's oral COVID-19 vaccine candidate compared to an approved mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in adults who have previously been vaccinated against COVID-19.

Funding for this award was received under Project NextGen, a $5 billion initiative led by BARDA and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to accelerate and streamline the development of the next generation of innovative COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics, and enablers. Vaxart's project award through the Rapid Response Partnership Vehicle (RRPV) Consortium is valued at up to $460.7 million. This project has been funded with federal funds from HHS; ASPR; and BARDA, under Other Transaction (OT) number 75A50123D00005.
