.Johnson & Johnson's deprioritization of its own contagious health condition pipeline has actually declared one more target in the form of its own dengue virus injection mosnodenvir.Mosnodenvir is designed to block interactions between 2 dengue virus healthy proteins. The injection survived J&J's selection last year to merge its own contagious health condition as well as vaccination procedures, which saw the likes of a late-stage respiratory syncytial virus course lost from the Large Pharma's pipe as well as an E. coli vaccine liquidated to Sanofi.Mosnodenvir has actually had a rough time in the clinic, along with J&J canceling one litigation because of the result of COVID-19 on registration as well as stopping recruitment in an additional research in 2022. However the support to mosnodenvir seemed to settle in Oct 2023, when the vaccine was actually presented to generate a dose-dependent antiviral result on the detectability and also beginning of dengue infection serotype 3 in a period 2 test.
That data reduce doesn't appear to have actually been enough to save mosnodenvir for long, with the Big Pharma revealing today that it is actually discontinuing a follow-up stage 2 area research. The decision is associated with a "key reprioritization of the company's transmittable diseases R&D collection," added J&J, which worried that no security issues had actually been pinpointed." Johnson & Johnson are going to remain to support the aggression versus dengue by discussing research leads with the medical area down the road," the pharma stated in the launch.J&J had actually been investing in dengue for over a many years, consisting of releasing a Gps Facility for Global Health And Wellness Finding at the Duke-NUS Medical University in Singapore in 2022. The facility has actually been focused on increasing early-stage revelation investigation to "address the increasing obstacle of flaviviruses" including dengue as well as Zika.
