Valneva SE (NASDAQ: VALN) reported further heterologous booster data from an exploratory, small clinical study for its inactivated COVID-19 vaccine, VLA2001.
The data show that a booster dose of VLA2001 was well tolerated in previously vaccinated participants with either Pfizer Inc (NYSE: PFE) and BioNTech SE (NASDAQ: BNTX) or Moderna Inc (NASDAQ: MRNA) shots.
The data confirm the favorable safety profile of VLA2001 seen across all studies, including in homologous or heterologous booster settings.
However, in this study, an additional booster dose of VLA2001 elicited only a marginally increased neutralizing antibody response, Valneva added.

Valneva is currently seeking regulatory approval for VLA2001 as a homologous and heterologous booster in AstraZeneca – primed individuals who may support the company deploying its inventory in international markets.
Price Action: VALN shares closed at $12.72 on Friday.
