About Vaxart
Vaxart is a clinical-stage biotechnology
company developing a range of oral recombinant vaccines based on
its proprietary delivery platform. Vaxart vaccines are designed to
be administered using tablets that can be stored and shipped
without refrigeration and eliminate the risk of needle-stick
injury. Vaxart believes that its proprietary tablet vaccine
delivery platform is suitable to deliver recombinant vaccines,
positioning the company to develop oral versions of currently
marketed vaccines and to design recombinant vaccines for new
indications. Vaxart's development programs currently include tablet
vaccines designed to protect against coronavirus, norovirus,
seasonal influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), as well
as a therapeutic vaccine for human papillomavirus (HPV), Vaxart's
first immuno-oncology indication. Vaxart has filed broad domestic
and international patent applications covering its proprietary
technology and creations for oral vaccination using adenovirus and
TLR3 agonists.
