About PCVX
Vaxcyte is a clinical-stage vaccine innovation company engineering high-fidelity vaccines to protect against bacterial diseases. The company's lead candidate, VAX-31, is a 31-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) — the broadest-spectrum PCV candidate in clinical development — being evaluated in Phase 3 trials for adults and a Phase 2 study for infants for the prevention of invasive pneumococcal disease. Vaxcyte also develops VAX-24, a 24-valent PCV for infants, and VAX-XL, a next-generation preclinical PCV candidate designed for even broader coverage. Beyond pneumococcal disease, the company is advancing VAX-A1, a prophylactic vaccine candidate targeting Group A Streptococcus (now in Phase 1), and VAX-GI, a vaccine candidate for Shigella prevention. Vaxcyte's proprietary XpressCF cell-free protein synthesis platform, exclusively licensed from Sutro Biopharma, enables the production of complex proteins and antigens outside of conventional cell-based manufacturing systems. The company generates no product revenue and funds operations through its cash reserves and capital raises. It trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker PCVX. Updated
