Published purpose

In response to the global crisis, IMV has initiated the development of a vaccine to protect against the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe our targeted peptide epitope approach has the potential to optimize and exceed the safety and efficacy profile of more conventional vaccines. DPX-COVID-19 utilizes a multi-target approach, to optimize immune response against virus’ weaknesses, enhance efficacy at preventing infection and reduce potential for immune escape, even in case of a virus mutation. Fully synthetic, DPX-COVID-19 has the potential for fast and large-scale manufacturing to supply a significant number of doses rapidly compared to more conventional vaccines.
