Overview
VBI Vaccines is a biopharmaceutical company founded on an innovative eVLP technology platform designed to elicit potent and broad immune responses. Its historical achievement was the U.S. approval and commercialization of PreHevbrio, a three-antigen hepatitis B vaccine, but the company has since ceased commercial operations and entered restructuring proceedings under the CCAA in Canada. Its current strategy is to preserve capital, review strategic alternatives, and advance its most promising clinical-stage assets in cytomegalovirus (CMV) prevention and glioblastoma (GBM) treatment through this period of financial distress.
Technology Platform
Proprietary enveloped Virus-Like Particle (eVLP) platform engineered to present multiple, properly folded antigens on a lipid membrane, mimicking natural pathogens to elicit potent and broad immune responses.

Competitive Landscape
In CMV, VBI faces well-funded late-stage competitors from Merck and Moderna. In glioblastoma, the competitive landscape includes other immunotherapies and standard care, though effective options remain limited. The company's financial distress places it at a severe disadvantage against larger, solvent rivals.
