Moderna said its updated mNexspike Covid-19 vaccine demonstrated a strong immune response against the dominant LP.8.1 variant, after previously saying its other Covid-19 vaccine, Spikevax, also demonstrated a strong immune response.
Data from an ongoing Phase 4 trial showed mNexspike produced a 16-fold increase in antibodies neutralizing LP.8.1. It said earlier this month that Spikevax generated an eight-fold increase in antibodies.
The 2025-2026 formula of mNexspike is approved for individuals 12 through 64 years of age with at least one underlying condition putting them at a high risk for severe outcomes from Covid-19 and all adults 65 years of age and older.
