Zosano Pharma Announces Publication Of Early Data On Influenza Vaccine

Zosano Pharma Corporation ZSAN announced the publication of Phase 1 trial data of influenza vaccine in the Journal of Vaccines and Immunology. 

• The data demonstrated that a low dose of a trivalent influenza vaccine administered via its transdermal microneedle system produced antibody levels and was generally well tolerated.
• The Company noted that a lower dose of an influenza vaccine produced antibody levels similar to an intramuscular injection of the same vaccine at a higher dose.
• The single-center, randomized Phase 1 study enrolled 90 subjects between 18 to 40 years to receive a trivalent influenza vaccine containing strains A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B. 
• In November, the Company announced the successful formulation of a COVID-19 vaccine candidate utilizing its microneedle patch system.
• Zosano's patch consists of an array of approximately two thousand drug-coated titanium microneedles mounted on an adhesive patch that is administered to the skin using a reusable applicator.
• Price Action: ZSAN shares are up 11.8% at $0.58 during the market session on the last check Wednesday.
