Valneva ( (VALN) ) has shared an update.

Valneva SE announced positive Phase 2 trial results for its chikungunya vaccine, IXCHIQ®, in children, demonstrating a strong safety and immunogenicity profile. The trial results support the decision to use a full dose for the planned Phase 3 study in children aged one to eleven years, expected by the fourth quarter of 2025. This trial’s success is crucial for expanding the vaccine’s label to include children, especially in regions heavily affected by chikungunya. The vaccine, already approved for adults in several regions, addresses a significant unmet need for long-term protection against chikungunya in low- and middle-income countries.
