Valneva Announces Publication of its COVID-19 Vaccine Phase 3 Data in The Lancet Infectious Diseases

Saint-Herblain (France), September 6, 2022 – Valneva SE (Nasdaq: VALN; Euronext Paris: VLA), a specialty vaccine company, today announces that The Lancet Infectious Diseases (“The Lancet ID”), a peer-reviewed medical journal, has published the Company’s pivotal Phase 3 clinical data for its inactivated, whole-virus COVID-19 vaccine, VLA2001.

The paper, entitled “Immunogenicity and safety of an inactivated whole-virus COVID-19 vaccine (VLA2001) compared with the adenoviral vector vaccine ChAdOx1 in adults in the UK (COV-COMPARE): interim analysis of a randomised, controlled, phase 3, immunobridging trial” provides a detailed analysis of the Phase 3 results, showing that VLA2001 demonstrated superior neutralizing antibody titer levels versus the comparator vaccine, as well as broad T-cell responses against the S- (spike), M- (membrane), and N- (neucleocapsid) proteins, and a significantly better tolerability profile versus the comparator vaccine. It can be accessed via the following link: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(22)00502-3/fulltext.

Juan Carlos Jaramillo M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Valneva, said, “This Lancet publication is a strong scientific and developmental validation of the work that has been accomplished at Valneva. We are pleased that more detailed results on our inactivated COVID-19 vaccine are now available to the scientific and broader public health communities.”

Valneva reported positive topline Phase 3 results for VLA2001 in October 2021¹.

In August 2022, the World Health Organization issued recommendations for use of Valneva’s inactivated COVID-19 vaccine².

The Company published safety and immunogenicity data from the Phase 1/2 trial of VLA2001 in the Journal of Infection³ in June 2022.

About VLA2001
VLA2001 is produced on Valneva’s established Vero-cell platform, leveraging the manufacturing technology for Valneva’s licensed Japanese encephalitis vaccine, IXIARO^®. VLA2001 consists of inactivated whole virus particles of SARS-CoV-2 with high S-protein density, in combination with two adjuvants, alum and CpG 1018. This adjuvant combination has consistently induced higher antibody levels in preclinical experiments than alum-only formulations and shown a shift of the immune response towards Th1. CpG 1018 adjuvant, supplied by Dynavax Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: DVAX), is a component of the US FDA- and EMA-approved HEPLISAV-B^® vaccine. VLA2001’s manufacturing process, which has already been upscaled to final industrial scale, includes chemical inactivation to preserve the native structure of the S-protein. VLA2001 is expected to conform with standard cold chain requirements (2 to 8 degrees Celsius).
VLA2001 is the first COVID-19 vaccine to receive a standard marketing authorization in Europe⁴ and the only whole virus, inactivated, adjuvanted COVID-19 vaccine to receive marketing authorization in Europe for use as primary vaccination in people from 18 to 50 years of age. The vaccine was also granted conditional marketing authorization in the United Kingdom⁵ and emergency use authorization in the United Arab Emirates⁶ and Kingdom of Bahrain⁷. Valneva currently has agreements to supply VLA2001 to certain EU Member States⁸ and the Kingdom of Bahrain⁹. In August 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued recommendations for use of VLA2001¹⁰. In light of current order levels and existing inventories, Valneva has suspended manufacturing of the vaccine¹¹. Valneva is retaining inventory for potential additional supply to these EU Member States should demand increase. In parallel, the Company is continuing discussions with various other governments around the world, with the aim to deploy approximately eight to ten million doses of remaining inventory into international markets in the next six to twelve months.

Valneva and VBI Vaccines Announce European Partnership for Marketing and Distribution of PreHevbri®

SAINT-HERBLAIN, France and CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (September 8, 2022) – Valneva SE (Nasdaq: VALN; Euronext Paris: VLA) (Valneva) and VBI Vaccines Inc. (Nasdaq: VBIV) (VBI) today announced a partnership in select European markets for the marketing and distribution of PreHevbri® [Hepatitis B vaccine (recombinant, adsorbed)], the only 3-antigen hepatitis B vaccine approved in Europe.

Under the terms of the agreement, specialty vaccine company Valneva will promote and distribute PreHevbri throughout select European countries, which initially include the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Valneva and VBI expect PreHevbri to be available in these countries in early 2023.

Thomas Lingelbach, President and CEO of Valneva, commented: “We welcome this partnership with VBI which underlines Valneva’s expertise in vaccine commercialization. Among the past years, we have continued to develop our third-party vaccine marketing and distribution activities further, notably with the signing of a distribution agreement with Bavarian Nordic in 2020, and we are extremely pleased to add VBI’s Hepatitis B vaccine to this portfolio today. Our objective is to continue leveraging our commercial infrastructure to combat as many infectious diseases as we can.”

Jeff Baxter, President and CEO of VBI, commented: “This partnership is a significant milestone for PreHevbri, enabling us to hit the ground running in Europe. Valneva has substantial local knowledge, experience, and relationships in each of these European countries where we expect to launch, which will be of critical value as we work, collectively, to provide broad access to this differentiated 3-antigen HBV vaccine in Europe. Strategically, VBI and Valneva are two companies aligned by a shared mission to reduce the burden of infectious disease, and this new collaboration will build upon that meaningful synergy.”

PreHevbri was approved by the European Commission (EC) and the United Kingdom Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the second quarter of 2022 for active immunization against infection caused by all known subtypes of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) in adults.

About Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is one of the world’s most significant infectious disease threats with more than 290 million people infected globally. HBV infection is the leading cause of liver disease and, with current treatments, it is very difficult to cure, with many patients going on to develop liver cancers. An estimated 900,000 people die each year from complications of chronic HBV such as liver decompensation, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

About PreHevbri® [Hepatitis B vaccine (recombinant, adsorbed)]

PreHevbri is the only 3-antigen hepatitis B vaccine, comprised of the three hepatitis B surface antigens of the hepatitis B virus – S, pre-S1, and pre-S2. It is approved for use in the European Union/European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Israel. The brand names for this vaccine are: PreHevbri™ (EU/EEA/UK), PreHevbrio™ (US), and Sci-B-Vac® (Israel).

Full European Summary of Product Characteristics for PreHevbri are available from the EMA website at www.ema.europa.eu.

Please visit www.PreHevbrio.com for U.S. Important Safety Information for PreHevbrio™ [Hepatitis B Vaccine (Recombinant)], or please see U.S. Full Prescribing Information.

U.S. Indication

U.S. Important Safety Information (ISI)

Immunocompromised persons, including those on immunosuppressant therapy, may have a diminished immune response to PreHevbrio.

PreHevbrio may not prevent hepatitis B infection, which has a long incubation period, in individuals who have an unrecognized hepatitis B infection at the time of vaccine administration.

The most common side effects (> 10%) in adults age 18-44, adults age 45-64, and adults age 65+ were pain and tenderness at the injection site, myalgia, fatigue, and headache.
