Vaxcyte reported that results from a Phase 1/2 adult study of its 31-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine candidate VAX-31 were published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases. In adults aged 50 and older, VAX-31 was evaluated for safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity versus Prevnar 20, and it showed robust opsonophagocytic activity and IgG responses across 31 serotypes. Vaxcyte said the VAX-31 High Dose met noninferiority criteria for 20 serotypes shared with Prevnar 20 and met superiority criteria for 11 additional serotypes not included in Prevnar 20. Based on these results, the company advanced VAX-31 High Dose into its OPUS Phase 3 adult program, with topline data from the OPUS-1 pivotal noninferiority trial expected in Q4 2026. The Phase 3 program includes head-to-head comparisons versus Prevnar 20 and Capvaxive.
