The GW VRU participated in a Phase 2 randomized clinical trial that evaluated the safety and the immunogenicity of two doses of the MVA-BN vaccine for mpox that were one-fifth and one-tenth the standard dose. The team is excited to announce that the clinical findings have been reported and found that the lower doses were safe, well-tolerated, and produced an immune response in comparison to the standard dose.
