Oragenics To Participate at the World Vaccine Congress Washington 2022

Oragenics, Inc. (“Oragenics” or the “Company”), a UF startup and biotech company dedicated to fighting infectious diseases including coronavirus, announced that Kimberly Murphy, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, will attend the upcoming World Vaccine Congress Washington that will be held on April 18-22 to showcase the Company’s lead product, NT-CoV2-1, an intranasal vaccine candidate, and to pursue business development opportunities.

The NT-CoV2-1 intranasal vaccine program approach is focused on patient-friendly administration, reducing transmission through a mucosal immune response, and to provide long-lasting protection. As a recombinant protein and adjunctive vaccine, NT-CoV2-1 is differentiated compared to live-attenuated intranasal vaccines candidates that may cause greater side effects and harder to produce. Animal models have demonstrated NT-CoV2-1 intranasal formulation induced robust immune responses, lowering the viral load below detection of the assay in the nasal passages and the lungs. Currently, an IND-enabling GLP toxicology study is ongoing. The Company expects to initiate a first-in-human Phase 1 trial in previously vaccinated healthy adults this year.
