WALTHAM, Mass., Aug. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Invivyd, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVVD), a biopharmaceutical company devoted to delivering protection from serious viral infectious diseases, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, and recent business highlights.
Shortly after the PEMGARDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) was issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) of COVID-19 in certain immunocompromised patients, Invivyd transitioned its commercial strategy to reflect the novel features of a newly commercial COVID-19 PrEP antibody marketplace. This commercial transition was designed to increase the company’s capabilities and accelerate awareness and education about PEMGARDA across multiple stakeholders in the field including healthcare professionals (HCPs), academic and major community medical institutions, and high-volume infusion centers. Under new commercial leadership, the company has onboarded multiple, highly experienced biopharmaceutical commercial leaders with an eye toward activating the marketplace in the coming respiratory virus season.
“Against the backdrop of rising, persistent COVID-19 disease, we are pleased with our progress in the quarter establishing a robust infrastructure to support PEMGARDA demand, access and utilization. We believe our early revenues reflect just the beginning of a unique, fast growing, medically critical prophylactic category in infectious disease. As we enter the peak fall/winter respiratory virus season, we aim to substantially increase PEMGARDA awareness and activation among HCPs, institutions, and vulnerable populations. Our expectation is that our ongoing commercial work can build a broad, high medical value category starting with PEMGARDA and continuing through novel pipeline molecules that may offer step changes in patient- and system-friendliness,” said Marc Elia, Chairperson of the Invivyd Board of Directors.
In addition, Invivyd expects to initiate in late August dosing a first-in-human clinical trial for VYD2311, a next generation anti-RBD monoclonal antibody (mAb) with substantially increased measured in vitro potency to date and other potentially favorable biophysical properties. While Invivyd has secured more than 100,000 total doses of PEMGARDA, expected potency and associated potential improvements to dose may result in substantially greater commercial quantities of VYD2311 should the molecule achieve regulatory authorization.
“Over two months at Invivyd, my appreciation for the company’s unique technology platform and ability for PEMGARDA to address the significant COVID-19 unmet need for certain immunocompromised people has grown tremendously,” said Tim Lee, Chief Commercial Officer of Invivyd. “We are excited about the positive commercial momentum we’ve seen, doubling available infusion sites from the end of May to the end of June, and again doubling from the end of June to the end of last week. We are enthusiastic about our efforts to drive awareness of PEMGARDA in the HCP community, expand reach to additional infusion centers, and add new programs to support patients. The fall will be here in weeks and the team is ready for action.”

About PEMGARDA
PEMGARDA™ (pemivibart) is a half-life extended investigational monoclonal antibody (mAb). PEMGARDA was engineered from adintrevimab, Invivyd’s investigational mAb that has a robust safety data package and provided evidence of clinical efficacy in a global Phase 2/3 clinical trial for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. PEMGARDA has demonstrated in vitro neutralizing activity against major SARS-CoV-2 variants, including JN.1. PEMGARDA targets the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD), thereby inhibiting virus attachment to the human ACE2 receptor on host cells.
PEMGARDA (pemivibart) injection (4500 mg), for intravenous use is an investigational mAb that has not been approved, but has been authorized for emergency use by the U.S. FDA under an EUA for the pre-exposure prophylaxis (prevention) of COVID-19 in adults and adolescents (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg) who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise due to certain medical conditions or receipt of certain immunosuppressive medications or treatments and are unlikely to mount an adequate immune response to COVID-19 vaccination. Recipients should not be currently infected with or have had a known recent exposure to an individual infected with SARS-CoV-2.
PEMGARDA is not authorized for use for treatment of COVID-19 or post-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19. Anaphylaxis has been observed with PEMGARDA and the PEMGARDA Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers includes a boxed warning for anaphylaxis. The most common adverse events (all grades, incidence ≥2%) observed in participants who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise treated with PEMGARDA included systemic and local infusion-related or hypersensitivity reactions, upper respiratory tract infection, viral infection, influenza-like illness, fatigue, headache, and nausea. For additional information, please see the PEMGARDA full product Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers, including important safety information and boxed warning.
To support the EUA for PEMGARDA, an immunobridging approach was used to determine if PEMGARDA may be effective for pre-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19. Immunobridging is based on the serum virus neutralizing titer-efficacy relationships identified with other neutralizing human mAbs against SARS-CoV-2. This includes adintrevimab, the parent mAb of pemivibart, and other mAbs that were previously authorized for EUA. There are limitations of the data supporting the benefits of PEMGARDA. Evidence of clinical efficacy for other neutralizing human mAbs against SARS-CoV-2 was based on different populations and SARS-CoV-2 variants that are no longer circulating. Additionally, the variability associated with cell-based EC50 value determinations, along with limitations related to pharmacokinetic data and efficacy estimates for the mAbs in prior clinical trials, impact the ability to precisely estimate protective titer ranges.
The emergency use of PEMGARDA is only authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of drugs and biological products during the COVID-19 pandemic under Section 564(b)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the declaration is terminated or authorization revoked sooner.
