We continue to advance our early-stage pipeline. We intend to develop our early-stage pipeline using a disciplined and capital-efficient approach. Our R&D investment strategy seeks to place targeted investments on the programs with the highest potential value, both within infectious disease and beyond, with the intent of partnering these programs at proof of concept. We would consider advancing a program ourselves where data and commercial landscape indicate a unique high-value opportunity. We are pursuing early-stage research in diseases such as, respiratory syncytial virus (“RSV”) combinations, varicella-zoster virus (shingles) and Clostridioides difficile (C. Diff.) colitis. We are actively working to evaluate several RSV combination candidates to progress forward toward an Investigational New Drug (“IND”). We are actively developing an H5N1 avian pandemic influenza vaccine candidate and the toxicology study is underway. We are pursuing funding opportunities to join preparedness options. Additionally, we are evaluating potential expansion beyond infectious diseases, where we believe our technology could augment and improve upon current therapies.

In August 2023, we announced topline results from our Phase 2b/3 Hummingbird™ trial that met its primary endpoints in children aged 6 through 11 years demonstrating both tolerability and immunologic responses. This ongoing trial is evaluating the safety, effectiveness (immunogenicity), and efficacy of two doses of our prototype COVID-19 Vaccine (NVX-CoV2373), followed by a booster 6 months after the primary vaccination series. The trial completed enrollment in September 2023 and includes three age de-escalation cohorts of 1,200 children each. Safety follow up is expected to be completed in October 2025. The U.S. FDA has informed us that, due to changes in pediatric sero-epidemiology that have occurred since trial initiation, an additional immunogenicity study will be needed to support a supplemental BLA to expand the pediatric indication. We continue to engage with Sanofi to assess the feasibility of achieving an expanded indication in the U.S. given recent policy changes impacting the indicated pediatric population for COVID-19 vaccines.

We are working closely with the U.S. FDA and Sanofi to finalize the trial design, with plans to initiate enrollment in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company will be responsible to conduct the PMC trial. Sanofi will reimburse the Company for 70% of the PMC costs, capped at the currently agreed upon cost estimates. The Company will recognize cost reimbursements from Sanofi related to the PMC in licensing, royalties, and other revenue over time using an input method, consistent with Sanofi Transition Services and Sanofi Technology Transfer.
