Research and product development

The aim of our company’s development work is to consolidate the use of new vaccine technology in Finland. At the heart of our product development is currently the second-generation coronavirus vaccine FINCoVac 2.1, which aims to obtain strong protection against the rapidly mutating variants of the coronavirus.

FINCoVac 2.1
Intranasal corona virus vaccine against rapidly mutating variants

The mutation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to evade the immune system is likely to continue at a rapid pace and new variant outbreaks may be expected. The FINCoVac 2.1 vaccine is designed to meet the challenge of the rapidly mutating variants. Our aim is that in the future, our vaccines could be an easy-to-dose booster for those who are already fully vaccinated with other coronavirus vaccine(s). The same vaccine technology can also enable the development of new vaccines against other viruses.

Clinical trials

Our goal is to start the first clinical trial with the FINCoVac 2.0 vaccine in Finland during the year 2023. At that time, healthy adult volunteers who are already fully vaccinated with other coronavirus vaccine(s) will be invited to participate in the clinical trial. After Phase I clinical trial, the next broader trial, Phase II, will be commenced, depending on the results of the previous phase.

For legal reasons, recruitment of volunteer subjects may only begin once we have been granted trial authorisation from the authorities. Unfortunately, we are unable to receive volunteer enrolments in advance. We will provide more information about our clinical trials and their participation closer to the start of the trials.
