Invivyd reports VYD2311 topline safety edge over mRNA COVID vaccine in LIBERTY trial
The Phase 3 LIBERTY study met all primary and secondary endpoints, and Invivyd plans a BLA filing under the Accelerated Approval Program.
Invivyd, Inc. announced on September 29, 2026 that its Phase 3 LIBERTY study met its co-primary and key secondary endpoints, with VYD2311 demonstrating safety and tolerability that the company said was clinically and statistically superior to an mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine.1
The trial recruited 210 healthy adults aged 18-49 and randomized them 1:1:1 to a single intramuscular dose of either 250mg VYD2311, COMIRNATY, or the combination of both.1
On the first co-primary endpoint, measuring adverse events over six days, 56.5% of VYD2311 subjects experienced a TEAE, ISR, or hypersensitivity reaction versus 91.4% on the mRNA vaccine (p<0.0001), while the combination arm showed 78.9% versus 91.4% (p=0.057).1 On the second co-primary endpoint for systemic adverse events, VYD2311 showed 44.1% versus 68.1% for the vaccine (p=0.008), and the combination arm showed 50.0% versus 68.1% (p=0.023).1 Over 56 days, VYD2311 showed 60.9% versus 91.4% for the vaccine (p<0.0001), with the combination arm at 83.1% versus 91.4% (p=0.21).1 The company noted that no VYD2311-related adverse events exceeded Grade 2, and no hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis occurred in any arm.1
On immune interference, VYD2311 added to the vaccine increased neutralizing titers by approximately 2.5 times over the vaccine alone across the 56-day study,1 and titers from VYD2311-depleted combination samples matched those from the vaccine-only arm, confirming no interference.1
Regarding regulatory plans, Invivyd said it intends to submit a BLA under the Accelerated Approval Program pending results from the ongoing DECLARATION pivotal study,1 following a Type C meeting with FDA in September. The company said DECLARATION topline data on safety and immunogenicity to support the submission are now expected in October.1 Under the plan, Invivyd would continue accumulating PCR-positive symptomatic COVID-19 events in a post-approval confirmatory cohort, targeting a 70%-90% relative risk reduction versus placebo.1
Invivyd held an investor call on the results at 8:30 am ET on September 29, 2026.
