Today we announced an agreement to acquire Icosavax, Inc., a US-based, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing differentiated, high-potential vaccines using an innovative, protein virus-like particle (VLP) platform.

 

Leveraging our expertise in RSV, the acquisition will help us unlock new possibilities in #VaccineDevelopment by pioneering the next generation of VLPs to address high unmet need in infectious diseases.

Today's announcement of the acquisition of Icosavax builds on our expertise in RSV, and respiratory viruses more broadly, and leverages our therapeutic footprint in treating patients with the highest risk of severe outcomes from respiratory viruses. Respiratory Synctial Virus (RSV) and Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) are two leading causes of severe respiratory infections and hospitalisations in adults over 60 years of age and among patients with respiratory or cardiovascular disease. There are currently no preventative or treatment options for hMPV and no RSV combination vaccines.
