Invivyd Earns Fast Track Designation for VYD2311, a Vaccine-Alternative Antibody to Prevent COVID

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Dec. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Invivyd, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVVD) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation for VYD2311, an investigational vaccine-alternative monoclonal antibody candidate for the prevention of COVID.

Fast Track is a process that enables the FDA to expedite the development and review of new drugs that address a serious or life-threatening condition and fill an unmet medical need. If relevant criteria are met, programs with Fast Track designation can become eligible for priority review and rolling Biologics License Application (BLA) submission, which can reduce the timelines associated with regulatory action. VYD2311 was granted Fast Track designation by the FDA for the prevention of COVID in individuals with underlying risk factors for severe COVID.

“COVID is a critical ongoing endemic and chronic health challenge, and Americans need more options to prevent themselves from getting sick,” said Marc Elia, Chairman of Invivyd’s Board of Directors. “We are thrilled that the FDA recognizes the need to move quickly to prevent COVID as we move forward with our placebo-controlled, pivotal clinical trial DECLARATION.”

Invivyd previously announced initiation of DECLARATION, the company’s BLA-enabling clinical trial of VYD2311. Top-line data from the trial are expected mid-2026.

DECLARATION is a Phase 3, randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate VYD2311 safety and efficacy in prevention of symptomatic COVID in a broad population of participants including adults and adolescents both with and without underlying risk factors for progression to severe COVID-19, at three months. Participants will receive either a single dose or a monthly dose of VYD2311, each administered via intramuscular (IM) injection, compared to placebo. Total enrollment of the trial is expected to be 1770 participants.

About VYD2311

VYD2311 is a novel monoclonal antibody (mAb) candidate being developed for COVID-19 to continue to address the urgent need for new prophylactic and therapeutic options. The pharmacokinetic profile and antiviral potency of VYD2311 may offer the ability to deliver clinically meaningful titer levels through more patient-friendly means such as an intramuscular route of administration.

VYD2311 was engineered using Invivyd’s proprietary integrated technology platform and is the product of serial molecular evolution designed to generate an antibody optimized for neutralizing contemporary virus lineages. VYD2311 leverages the same antibody backbone as pemivibart, Invivyd’s investigational mAb granted emergency use authorization in the U.S. for the pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) of symptomatic COVID-19 in certain immunocompromised patients, and adintrevimab, Invivyd’s investigational mAb that has a robust safety data package and demonstrated clinically meaningful results in global Phase 2/3 clinical trials for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
