Vaxcyte reports positive OPUS-1 Phase 3 topline data for VAX-31 pneumococcal vaccine

Positive Impact 4 of 5 product/contract Written later

Vaxcyte said its pivotal Phase 3 OPUS-1 adult trial met all prespecified primary endpoints for VAX-31, its 31-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine candidate, compared with Prevnar 20 and Capvaxive. The company said the results will serve as the cornerstone of a planned Biologics License Application to the FDA, with results from OPUS-2 and OPUS-3 expected in the first half of 2027. The filing contains no revenue, earnings or cash figures, and the data remain subject to FDA review.

Key points

  • All 28 VAX-31 serotypes shared with PCV20 and/or PCV21 met the noninferiority criterion in adults 50 and older.
  • VAX-31 met noninferiority for 20 of 20 serotypes shared with PCV20 and 17 of 19 shared with PCV21; serotypes 3 and 12F missed the stricter criterion against PCV21.
  • OPUS-2 and OPUS-3 results are expected in the first half of 2027, and a Biologics License Application submission is planned for the first half of 2028.
