BPZE1 pertussis vaccine and Boostrix

ILiAD Biotechnologies · Phase 2 active Biologic ✓ Verified May 2026

BPZE1 pertussis vaccine and Boostrix is a vaccine Biologic drug developed by ILiAD Biotechnologies. It is currently in Phase 2 development for Pertussis (whooping cough) prevention in adolescents and adults.

BPZE1 is a live attenuated pertussis vaccine designed to induce mucosal and systemic immunity against Bordetella pertussis, while Boostrix is a combined acellular pertussis booster vaccine.

BPZE1 pertussis vaccine is a vaccine component that induces an immune response, classified as a biological vaccine. It is used in combination with Boostrix, a pertussis vaccine, to provide protection against pertussis, also known as whooping cough.

Likelihood of approval
16.3% vs 15.3% industry baseline
If approved by FDA: likely 2031–2034
Steps remaining: Phase 3 → NDA/BLA submission
Confidence: Medium
Why this estimate
  • Baseline phase 2 → approval rate +15.3pp
    Industry-wide phase 2 drugs reach approval ~15.3% of the time (BIO/Informa 2023 industry benchmark across all therapeutic areas).
  • Immunology slight uplift +1.0pp
    Mature endpoint landscape (ACR, DAS28, PASI) makes immunology approvals slightly more predictable.
Predicted approval windows by jurisdiction (conditional on FDA approval)
Regulator Country Likely year Lag vs FDA
FDA US 2031–2034
EMA EU 2032–2035 +0.7 yr
MHRA GB 2032–2035 +0.7 yr
Health Canada CA 2032–2036 +0.9 yr
TGA AU 2032–2036 +1.2 yr
PMDA JP 2032–2036 +1.5 yr
NMPA CN 2033–2037 +2.3 yr

CDSCO IN 2032–2037 +1.8 yr
ANVISA BR 2033–2037 +2.3 yr

Hover any row for the lag rationale. Lag estimates are reduced when the drug has FDA Breakthrough or EMA PRIME designation (sponsors file globally in parallel).

Mechanism of action

BPZE1 is a genetically modified live vaccine strain that replicates in the respiratory mucosa to stimulate both cellular and humoral immune responses at the site of infection. Boostrix is an acellular pertussis vaccine containing inactivated toxins and surface antigens that provides booster immunity. The combination approach aims to enhance protective immunity against pertussis through complementary mechanisms.
