Providence's lead mRNA COVID-19 vaccine candidate, PTX-COVID19-B, currently in Phase 2 clinical trials, has demonstrated that it is generally safe and well tolerated and that the PTX-COVID19-B dosed subjects have high neutralization titers against the original strain of SARS-CoV-2 (G614) in an S protein-typed pseudovirus assay.

Everest will also gain rights to Providence's next generation mRNA COVID-19 vaccine candidates against specific variants of concern (VOC) which are in pre-clinical development.
