Executive Summary

Conviction (model self-assessment)65/100

Vivaldi Biosciences is a private biotech company developing self-adjuvanting nasal-spray vaccines for viral respiratory diseases based on its proprietary Delta NS1 platform. The lead candidate, DeltaFLU, is a universal influenza vaccine currently in Phase 2 clinical development, designed to provide broad protection against all influenza strains. The platform also supports a combination COVID-19 and universal influenza vaccine (Delta-19) in earlier development. Based in San Diego, the company leverages a differentiated mechanism that eliminates the need for external adjuvants and enables needle-free delivery, potentially improving patient compliance and public health outcomes. With Phase 2 data expected in the near term, Vivaldi represents an attractive opportunity in the vaccine space, particularly given the ongoing need for improved influenza vaccines and pandemic preparedness.
