GeoVax's lead clinical program is GEO-CM04S1, a next-generation COVID-19 vaccine currently in three Phase 2 clinical trials, being evaluated as a primary vaccine for immunocompromised patients, a booster vaccine in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and a more robust, durable COVID-19 booster among healthy patients who previously received mRNA vaccines. In oncology, the lead clinical program is evaluating a novel oncolytic solid tumor gene-directed therapy, Gedeptin®, having recently completed a multicenter Phase 1/2 clinical trial for advanced head and neck cancers.
GeoVax is also developing a vaccine targeting Mpox and smallpox and, based on recent EMA regulatory guidance, anticipates progressing directly to a Phase 3 clinical evaluation, omitting Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials. The company holds worldwide rights for its technologies and products, supported by a strong IP portfolio. These strategic relocations position GeoVax to advance its pipeline more efficiently while strengthening ties to Georgia's growing biotechnology ecosystem.
