About the candidate

NanoFlu is our quadrivalent nanoparticle influenza vaccine (qNIV) candidate, targeting seasonal flu. NanoFlu is designed using our recombinant technology, with 4 forms of wild-type hemagglutinin (HA) protein from the influenza virus as antigens. Antigens are organized into distinct nanoparticle complexes recognized by the immune system, working in concert with our Matrix-M™ adjuvant.

Why it matters

Seasonal influenza is a significant global burden, with up to 650,000 flu-related deaths each year around the world.1 Current influenza vaccines have several limitations.2 A new generation of vaccines is needed to offer protection from disease.

In a successful phase 3 trial in the United States, NanoFlu met all of its endpoints.3
