Up)
Dynavax Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: DVAX) highlighted data from two phase 3 studies of its investigational vaccine HEPLISAV, one of which was the first clinical trial to prospectively evaluate the effectiveness of vaccinations with recombinant hepatitis B vaccines in patients diagnosed with diabetes. The data for both studies demonstrated that HEPLISAV provides faster, more robust and convenient, and longer-lasting immunity in persons with diabetes than a currently available vaccine, Engerix-B. An analysis of pooled data from these studies will be presented at Dynavax's analyst and investor day this Thursday, October 27, 2011 in New York City.
Also today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to recommend that hepatitis B vaccine should be administered to unvaccinated adults with diabetes who are less than 60 years of age. This change significantly expands the number of persons for whom vaccination is recommended.
