Vaxxinity announces publication of data on VXX-401

Vaxxinity announced the publication of data from multiple non-human primate studies demonstrating that VXX-401 reproducibly lowers low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in non-human primates. The results, which support the continued clinical development of VXX-401 as a candidate for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, were published in the Journal of Lipid Research. “Vaxxinity is committed to providing scalable, accessible, game-changing solution for worldwide heart health,” said Mei Mei Hu, CEO of Vaxxinity. “Despite multiple approved medications for LDL-C reduction, heart disease remains the number one killer in the world. A cholesterol vaccine like VXX-401 may provide a cost-effective and widely deployable solution that could potentially benefit hundreds of millions of people at risk. A well tolerated intervention that people can start early in life, and remain on for many years, lowering the cholesterol ‘area under the curve,’ has the potential to help us win the fight against heart disease.”
