.Johnson & Johnson's deprioritization of its contagious disease pipe has asserted another prey in the form of its dengue infection vaccination mosnodenvir.Mosnodenvir is designed to shut out interactions between 2 dengue infection healthy proteins. The injection endured J&J's choice in 2014 to combine its own infectious disease and vaccination procedures, which observed the likes of a late-stage respiratory system syncytial virus plan went down coming from the Significant Pharma's pipe and also an E. coli injection sold to Sanofi.Mosnodenvir has had a rough time in the center, with J&J canceling one litigation as a result of the effect of COVID-19 on enrollment and also stopping briefly employment in yet another study in 2022. Yet the support to mosnodenvir appeared to pay in Oct 2023, when the vaccine was presented to induce a dose-dependent antiviral result on the detectability as well as onset of dengue infection serotype 3 in a phase 2 trial.
That records decline does not appear to have actually been enough to spare mosnodenvir for long, along with the Big Pharma revealing today that it is terminating a follow-up phase 2 field research. The decision is connected to a "important reprioritization of the provider's pandemic health conditions R&D collection," included J&J, which stressed that no protection issues had been recognized." Johnson & Johnson will continue to support the fight against dengue by sharing research study leads along with the clinical neighborhood later on," the pharma mentioned in the launch.J&J had been actually purchasing dengue for over a decade, consisting of launching a Satellite Facility for Global Health Breakthrough at the Duke-NUS Medical College in Singapore in 2022. The facility has actually been actually concentrated on increasing early-stage discovery research study to "attend to the expanding problem of flaviviruses" such as dengue and also Zika.
