Novavax Inc. (NVAX) shares were down 67% to 70 cents in heavy volume Thursday after a study missed its primary objective.

The late stage biotechnology company said earlier that a global Phase 3 clinical trial of ResVax to prevent respiratory syncytial virus in infants didn't meet primary objective of prevention of medically significant RSV lower respiratory tract infection.

The trial showed efficacy against a secondary objective on RSV LRTI hospitalization.

The company said its next step is to meet with regulatory authorities to discuss licensure pathways.

The study is supported by an $89.1 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
