Vaxart (VXRT) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Vaxart, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing vaccines designed to be administered orally in tablet form rather than by injection. The company’s platform is intended to stimulate immune responses in the nose, mouth and gastrointestinal tract, in addition to systemic immunity, with the goal of improving vaccine administration and potentially limiting the spread of respiratory and enteric infections.

Vaxart’s pipeline has included oral vaccine candidates for norovirus, seasonal influenza and coronavirus infections. Its programs use recombinant vaccine technologies delivered through an oral tablet, and the company has evaluated candidates in clinical studies. Vaxart does not have an approved commercial product and remains focused on research, development and clinical testing.

The company traces its corporate history to Vaxart, which became the operating business of Aviragen Therapeutics before Aviragen adopted the Vaxart name in 2018. Vaxart is based in South San Francisco, California, and its activities are primarily centered on developing vaccine candidates for potential use in the United States and international markets. Steven Lo has served as the company’s president and chief executive officer.
