GeoVax announced on October 2, 2014 that it is developing two Ebola vaccines, GOVX-E301 and GOVX-E302. Both are recombinant MVA (modified vaccinia Ankara) vaccines designed to produce non-infectious virus-like particles (VLPs) displaying the Ebola virus glycoprotein. GOVX-E301 is being developed as a single-dose vaccine for epidemic response against the ZEBOV strain of Ebola, the virus responsible for the current outbreak. GOVX-E302 is being developed for routine immunization and is designed to protect against all three versions of Ebola known to be lethal in humans.
To facilitate its Ebola vaccine development efforts, GeoVax plans to collaborate with experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta with access to Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) facilities for testing vaccine responses. The Company has set a goal of having its GOVX-E301 vaccine produced and ready for use in humans within eighteen months.
About GeoVax
GeoVax Labs, Inc. (OTCQB: GOVX) is a biotechnology company developing human vaccines using its novel DNA/MVA vaccine delivery platform. The Company’s lead development program is focused on vaccines to prevent, and treat, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections. GeoVax’s unique, two component vaccine, a recombinant DNA and a recombinant modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA), is designed to stimulate both anti-HIV antibody and anti-HIV T cell immune responses. GeoVax’s DNA and MVA vaccines are used in a prime/boost protocol in which priming is done with the DNA and boosting with the MVA. Both the DNA and MVA express the three major proteins of the HIV virus: Gag, Pol, and Env, and produce non-infectious virus-like-particles. GeoVax’s vaccines are unique in expressing virus-like particles that display the native form of the trimeric membrane-bound HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein. Clinical trials for GeoVax’s preventive HIV vaccines have been conducted by the US National Institutes of Health-supported HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN) with funding from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID). Overall, GeoVax’s vaccines, in various doses and combinations, have been tested in close to 500 humans. www.geovax.com.
