Safety and Immunogenicity of a Locally Produced Inactivated NDV-HXP-S COVID-19 Vaccine (HXP-GPOVac) Compared with BNT162b2: A Phase II Randomized, Controlled, Double-Blind Noninferiority Trial in Thai Adults. (PubMed, Vaccines (Basel)) - " HXP-GPOVac was well tolerated and induced substantial humoral and cellular immune responses, with high seroconversion rates and balanced T-cell polarization. Although absolute antibody levels were lower than those induced by BNT162b2 and the prespecified non-inferiority criterion was not met, these findings support continued evaluation of the inactivated NDV-HXP-S vaccine platform."

One year follow up of phase 1/2 randomized, placebo controlled trial of NDV-HXP-S vaccine in Thailand. (PubMed, NPJ Vaccines) - "The two-dose NDV-HPX-S primary series was safe and elicited a strong immune response over one year, especially in the 3 µg+CpG and 10 µg groups. The 3 µg+CpG group had a significantly higher geometric mean fold rise (GMFR) than the 3 µg group (57.1 vs 40.0, p = 0.028) 14 days after the second dose."

Development of an RT-qPCR and a Next-Generation Sequencing approach to assess viral shedding of NDV-based SARS-CoV-2 variant vaccines. (PubMed, Microbiol Spectr) - "Previously, we have developed a Newcastle disease virus (NDV)-based vaccine expressing the spike (S) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), named NDV-HXP-S...In this work, we have developed a combined reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and next-generation sequencing-directed approach to assess the viral shedding of multivalent Newcastle disease virus-based severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 vaccines. This new formulation will be evaluated as a mucosal booster in phase I clinical trials next year."

Immunogenicity and efficacy of homologous and heterologous NDV and MVA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in mice and hamsters. (PubMed, NPJ Vaccines) - "Hamsters vaccinated with NDV-HXP-S exhibited protection of the upper respiratory tract, with the NDV-HXP-S/MVA-S(3P) regimen showing a trend toward reduced direct contact transmission of SARS-CoV-2. These findings demonstrate the capacity of NDV and MVA vector platforms to induce robust systemic and mucosal antigen-specific humoral and T-cell responses against SARS-CoV-2, contributing to protection against both disease and transmission, and support further exploration of these vector platforms for vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 and potentially other pathogens."

Mucosal multivalent NDV-based vaccine provides cross-reactive immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 variants in animal models. (PubMed, Front Immunol) - "Furthermore, intranasal trivalent live NDV-HXP-S boosted systemic and mucosal immunity in mice pre-immunized with mRNA vaccine. Overall, a mucosal multivalent live NDV-HXP-S vaccine shows great promise as a safe, next-generation vaccine conferring broad mucosal and systemic immunity against future SARS-CoV-2 variants."

A single immunization with intranasal Newcastle disease virus (NDV)-based XBB.1.5 variant vaccine reduces disease and transmission in animals against matched-variant challenge. (PubMed, Vaccine) - "Furthermore, one or two intranasal vaccinations with NDV-HXP-S XBB.1.5 protected hamsters from variant matched infection and reduced virus emission, thereby providing complete protection to naïve animals in a direct contact transmission study. The data shown in this study supports the notion that intranasal vaccination with variant-adapted NDV-HXP-S induces protective mucosal immunity and reduces transmission rates, highlighting the robust protective efficacy of a single mucosal vaccination in mice and hamsters."
