EMA Committee For Medicinal Products For Human Use Adopts
Positive Opinion Recommending Authorization Of Moderna's Omicron
BA.4-BA.5 Targeting Bivalent Covid-19 Vaccine In The European
Union
Positive recommendation follows the recent approval of Spikevax
bivalent Original/Omicron BA.1 (mRNA-1273.214), a bivalent booster
vaccine targeting the Omicron BA.1 subvariant, in September
CAMBRIDGE, MA / ACCESS WIRE / October 19, 2022 / Moderna, Inc.
(Nasdaq:MRNA), a biotechnology company pioneering messenger RNA
(mRNA) therapeutics and vaccines, today announced that the European
Medicines Agency's (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human
Use (CHMP) has adopted a positive opinion recommending conditional
marketing authorization for mRNA-1273.222 (Spikevax bivalent
Original/Omicron BA.4-5) as a booster dose for active immunization
to prevent COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 in individuals 12 years of
age and older, who have previously received at least a primary
vaccination course against COVID-19. Following the CHMP's positive
opinion, the European Commission will make an authorization
decision on the use of Spikevax bivalent Original/Omicron BA.4-5.
This vaccine now joins Moderna's other updated booster vaccine,
mRNA 1273.214, that targets the BA.1 variant, for use in
individuals 12 years and older.
"The CHMP's positive recommendation for our BA.4/BA.5 bivalent
booster, mRNA-1273.222, provides people across Europe with durable
protection against the major Omicron subvariants in circulation as
we head into the winter months when COVID-19 vaccination becomes
crucial," said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna.
"We look forward to the European Commission's authorization
decision shortly."
Spikevax bivalent Original/Omicron BA.4-5 is a next-generation
bivalent vaccine that contains 25 ug of mRNA-1273 (Spikevax) and 25
ug of a vaccine candidate targeting the Omicron variant of concern
(BA.4/BA.5). Moderna's submission to the EMA is based on
preclinical data for mRNA-1273.222 as well as clinical trial data
from a Phase 2/3 studying Spikevax bivalent Original/Omicron BA.1
(mRNA-1273.214), a bivalent booster vaccine targeting the Omicron
BA.1 subvariant, which recently received EMA approval. A Phase 2/3
clinical trial for mRNA-1273.222 is fully enrolled and currently
underway, with initial data expected later this year.
Moderna has received authorizations for Omicron-targeting
bivalent boosters in the United States, Australia, Canada, Europe,
Japan, South Korea, Switzerland, Singapore, Taiwan, and the UK to
date and has submitted regulatory applications worldwide.
