  • Publication number: 20220249654
    Abstract: The present invention is inter alia directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one nucleic acid encoding at least one antigenic peptide or protein from a Coronavirus, preferably a pandemic Coronavirus, and at least one nucleic acid encoding at least one antigenic peptide or protein from a further virus, e.g. an Influenza virus or an RSV virus. Pharmaceutical compositions provided herein are suitable for use in treatment or prophylaxis of an infection with at least one Coronavirus and at least one further virus infection, and may therefore be comprised in a combination vaccine. The nucleic acid sequences of the pharmaceutical compositions and combination vaccines are preferably in association with a polymeric carrier, a polycationic protein or peptide, or a lipid nanoparticle (LNP).

  • Publication number: 20220040281
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a coding RNA for a Malaria vaccine. The coding RNA comprises at least one heterologous untranslated region (UTR), preferably a 3?-UTR and/or a 5?-UTR, and a coding region encoding at least one antigenic peptide or protein derived from a Malaria parasite, in particular at least one antigenic protein derived from circumsporozoite protein (CSP) of a Malaria parasite (e.g. Plasmodium falciparum). The present invention is also directed to compositions and vaccines comprising said coding RNA in association with a polymeric carrier, a polycationic protein or peptide, or a lipid nanoparticle (LNP). Further, the invention concerns a kit, particularly a kit of parts comprising the coding RNA, or the composition, or the vaccine. The invention is also directed to a method of treating or preventing Malaria, and the first and second medical uses of the coding RNA, the composition, the vaccine, and the kit.
