In November 2017, Novavax projected a year-end release for top-line data from the Company's Phase 1/2 clinical trial of its NanoFlu Vaccine.  Then, on December 19, 2017, Novavax announced that a "complete package" will not be completed and released until February 2018.  Novavax advised investors that "the wild-type viruses necessary to assess immunogenicity of the vaccines to circulating strains have been difficult to obtain, grow and maintain genetic stability." 

On this news, Novavax's share price has fallen sharply during intraday trading on December 19, 2017.
