Minervax ApS

About

MinervaX is pursuing the development of a maternal vaccine for the prevention of adverse pregnancy outcomes and life-threating infections caused by Group B streptococcus (GBS). The vaccine is based on adjuvanted proteins antigens covering close to 100% of clinical GBS isolates.

Group B Streptococcal (GBS) is the leading cause of life-threatening infections in newborns. Colonization of pregnant women with GBS may lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes such as late abortions, stillbirths, and preterm delivery. Colonization may also lead to life-threatening infections in newborns for the first 3 months of life, causing pneumonia, septicemia and meningitis, which may lead to death or life-long disability.

Annually, GBS is responsible for some 320,000 cases of neonatal invasive disease, 60,000 stillbirths, 3,500,000 preterm deliveries, and 10,000 babies suffering from long-term neurological damage world-wide.
