\n The feds have committed $1.6 billion to help biotech firm Novavax develop its coronavirus vaccine and produce 100 million doses, potentially starting later this year.<\/p>\n

The award announced Tuesday is the largest so far from Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration\u2019s effort to deliver a vaccine by January.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdding Novavax\u2019s candidate to Operation Warp Speed\u2019s diverse portfolio of vaccines increases the odds that we will have a safe, effective vaccine as soon as the end of this year,\u201d US Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The money will help Novavax kickstart production of its vaccine candidate, known as NVX-CoV2373, and fund a phase 3 clinical trial with up to 30,000 participants that is slated to begin in the fall. That study will be crucial to determining whether the vaccine is safe and effective.<\/p>\n

Novavax has yet to announce results from its early-stage trial that started in Australia in May, though it expects to have preliminary data by the end of this month. The Maryland-based company\u2019s agreement with the feds will require it to prove it can manufacture the vaccine on a large scale and distribute large quantities of it when needed, according to a news<\/a> release.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pandemic has caused an unprecedented public health crisis, making it more important than ever that industry, government and funding entities join forces to defeat the novel coronavirus together,\u201d Novavax President and CEO Stanley C. Erck said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Novavax\u2019s stock price soared 37.4 percent on the news to $109.19 in premarket trading as of 7:25 a.m.<\/p>\n

The race for a vaccine that could help end the deadly global pandemic has so far produced 149 candidates, including 19 that are currently in clinical evaluation, according to the World Health Organization.<\/p>\n

Operation Warp Speed previously committed funding to three potential vaccines that are slated to begin phase 3 trials in the coming months. The awards include $456 million for Johnson & Johnson\u2019s candidate, which is due to start the final round of studies in September; $483 million for a candidate from biotech firm Moderna, which aims to start a phase 3 trial this month; and up to $1.2 billion for a vaccine from AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford, slated to begin a late-stage trial in August.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
