Our R&D portfolio primarily reflects our scientific, technical and clinical competencies in vector-borne infectious diseases and in both bacterial and viral vaccines.
Vaccine Candidates
We want to make a difference in people’s lives by applying our innovative and pioneering science to address potential vaccine preventable diseases. Our pipeline includes vaccines for infectious diseases with major unmet needs in clinical development, where no vaccines are currently available.
Chikungunya – VLA1553
Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne viral infection spreading in the Americas and Europe caused by the chikungunya virus (CHIKV), a Togaviridae virus transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. VLA1553 is a live-attenuated, single dose investigational vaccine candidate targeting the chikungunya virus.
View MoreLyme Disease – VLA15
Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne illness in the Northern Hemisphere. Valneva's candidate is the only vaccine in clinical development worldwide. Valneva´s vaccine candidate VLA15, under Fast Track Designation by the FDA, is a multivalent vaccine that targets the outer surface protein A (OspA) of Borrelia.
View MoreShigella – S4V
Shigellosis, caused by Shigella bacteria, is the second leading cause of fatal diarrheal disease worldwide. S4V is the world’s most clinically advanced tetravalent Shigella vaccine candidate.
View MoreZika – VLA1601
A mosquito-borne disease associated with birth defects. Since 1952, Zika outbreaks have been reported in tropical Africa, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, and, in 2015, in the Americas. Valneva’s vaccine candidate, VLA1601, is a highly purified inactivated vaccine candidate against the Zika virus, developed using the same manufacturing platform as Valneva’s Japanese encephalitis vaccine.
