.Johnson & Johnson’s deprioritization of its contagious condition pipeline has actually professed yet another prey in the form of its own dengue virus vaccine mosnodenvir.Mosnodenvir is actually made to shut out interactions in between two dengue infection healthy proteins. The injection survived J&J’s decision last year to combine its transmittable health condition and vaccination functions, which saw the similarity a late-stage respiratory syncytial infection system fell coming from the Major Pharma’s pipeline and also an E. coli vaccine liquidated to Sanofi.Mosnodenvir has actually had a rough time in the medical clinic, along with J&J terminating one litigation as a result of the impact of COVID-19 on enrollment and also stopping employment in another study in 2022.
But the commitment to mosnodenvir showed up to repay in Oct 2023, when the vaccine was actually revealed to generate a dose-dependent antiviral effect on the detectability as well as start of dengue virus serotype 3 in a phase 2 test. That data decline doesn’t appear to have sufficed to conserve mosnodenvir for long, along with the Big Pharma declaring this morning that it is ceasing a follow-up stage 2 industry research. The decision is actually related to a “critical reprioritization of the company’s contagious illness R&D portfolio,” added J&J, which worried that no safety and security problems had actually been actually pinpointed.” Johnson & Johnson will continue to sustain the fight versus dengue by discussing research study results with the clinical community later on,” the pharma said in the launch.J&J had been purchasing dengue for over a many years, featuring introducing a Satellite Center for Global Wellness Breakthrough at the Duke-NUS Medical Institution in Singapore in 2022.
The center has been actually concentrated on accelerating early-stage exploration research to “attend to the developing problem of flaviviruses” like dengue and also Zika.
