Finally......

Novavax, Inc. NVAX announced today that the company's Phase I clinical trial to evaluate a new vaccine candidate to prevent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is no longer on clinical hold. Dr. Rahul Singhvi, President and CEO of Novavax says, "This is a significant accomplishment and represents the second major internally discovered vaccine program based on our core platform technologies. RSV is the leading cause of viral death in infants and a common illness in elderly adults. A safe and effective vaccine is especially needed in these populations since RSV infection does not provoke lasting immunity." In the United States alone, hospitalizations due to RSV results in annual medicals costs exceeding $1 billion.

Orignally I was RED thumb on this company, but they have had some great growth in the research field and seem to have goals set in place with clear direction. FDA clearance on anything these days is like gold, and I doubt they will screw it up. Because of this I stick with my GREEN thumb prediction and wish the company the best of luck. If they come out with new and better vaccines each year, I think we will have a real winner on our hands.

Not a stock I would normally pick. That being said, I think the analyst were to quick to downgrade this morning due to their ability to get the vaccines out quickly. I know I am going out on a limb here but I think it will very soon see new highs for the year.

Novavax, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVAX) announced today it has manufactured a virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine candidate against the H1N1 pandemic influenza virus under current good-manufacturing practices (cGMP) at its new vaccine manufacturing facility in Rockville, MD. This milestone was accomplished in only 11 weeks after receiving the gene sequence for the H1N1 strain from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. The Company was able to reach this manufacturing goal by employing proprietary, novel production technology which is not dependent on growing influenza virus in eggs. Chicken eggs are used to produce almost all of the world's influenza vaccine supply. In addition, Novavax has produced essential reagents for measuring vaccine potency. The Company also has plans to produce additional batches of the pandemic H1N1 VLP vaccine to support human clinical studies and stands ready to assist with additional public health needs in the US as well as foreign countries.

The investment premise for this and a number of the speculative H1N1 stock plays are based on two faulty premises. 1] That there will be a substantial shortage of vaccine from the already contracted Pharma including GSK, Sanofi, Medi. 2] that these vaccines will be purchased on EUA without the need for additional clinical trials. IMO there will be sufficient vaccine come november and even in the absense of sufficient quantities, there is no evidene that the FDA will permit the use of unaapproved vaccines. IF you look at the recent VRPAC presentations from the FDA you will see that they are quite clear the path to approval is through the amended use of an existing seasonal BLA. THere is no chance that NVAX or any of the other speculaticve calls such as VICL, HEB, INO etc. will have approval by the time a vaccine will be needed. THese will be under real preasure come October when the approved vaccines ship.

The fear of a significant pandemic seem, for the first time in a very long time, justified. Pandemic H1N1 seems to be a significant possibility.
This small company just obtained 2 partnerships (in Spain and India) with credible companies. The Spanish gouvernment favors Novavax tech. They seem to have beaten Crucell (sad for me...).
Their technology is impressive yet simple. Nasal administration is likely as one of the ways this vaccine could be administered.
They have a few other vaccines in the pipeline that have a 'real shot' of eventually being approved.
This is a long term play on good and scalable technology. Also a short term play on a pandemic. To me the 'hype' so far doesn't seem to be excessive (if a pandemic is really coming!) although small companies like Novavax and Sinovac have done very well with it. Vaccines are the most cost effective way of improving health. The manifacturing of influenza vaccines will eventually be replaced (ie: Novartis) and companies like Crucell and Novavax will benefit greatly.

A swine flue play.... think swine flue is played out. The company has nothing in the way of sales and isn't profitable now. Even if it gets a swine flu bump, it's short term. Selling at 400x sales according to published ratios.

I may be going out on a limb on this one, but the number of reported cases of H1N1 is accelerating. According to a Utah Public Health report, I got the following stats (as of 6/24):

Worldwide 55,867 cases (19,939 more than 6/17)
United States 21,449 confirmed cases (3,594 more than 6/17)
United States 87 deaths (42 more than 6/17)

So that's over 50% increase in cases worldwide in one week's time (jumped from about ~36K to ~56K) and nearly 100% increase in US deaths also in just one week (from 45 to 87).

Some of this may be from delayed reporting worldwide and the start of the Southern Hemisphere's flu season, but it's still a staggering change in my view. If this pandemic does continue to spread over the next several months, the next flu season in the US could be busy for vaccine developers.
