Current report

Based on our norovirus clinical data findings to date, our norovirus oral vaccination induces mucosal and systemic immune responses. Norovirus oral vaccination reduced shedding and infection in a rigorous human challenge model. Based on our machine learning and evaluation of more than 13 different immune parameters, norovirus vaccination protection most tightly associates with making a functional antibody response to norovirus in the serum (“NBAA”) and norovirus specific fecal IgA antibodies. Because of the strong induction of mucosal IgA due to the oral vaccination and potential read through into the serum, we believe that this likely means that a functional fecal IgA response is probably critical for protection against norovirus infection.

Current report

In 2024, we also created new, second-generation norovirus GI.1 and GII.4 constructs. Based on preclinical data, the second-generation norovirus GI.1 and GII.4 constructs are more potent than the first-generation norovirus constructs we previously evaluated in clinical trials.

Current report

With advice from advisors and infectious disease experts, we decided to proceed with a Phase 1, open label, dose ranging clinical trial evaluating our second-generation oral norovirus vaccine constructs head-to-head against our first-generation constructs. The trial will measure safety and immunogenicity, including immune parameters that have correlated to protection in our Phase 2 GI.1 norovirus challenge study. The Phase 1 trial initiated in March 2025 and topline data is expected in the middle of 2025.

Current report

If the Phase 1 trial is successful, the next step, pending a partnership or other funding, would be to conduct a Phase 2b safety and immunogenicity study that could potentially begin as early as the second half of 2025. This Phase 2b trial would be followed by an End of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA. A Phase 3 trial could then begin as early as 2026, pending a successful End of Phase 2 meeting and funding.

Current report

In June 2024, we entered into an agreement (as modified or amended from time to time, the “2024 ATI-RRPV Contract”) with Advanced Technology International (“ATI”), the Rapid Response Partnership Vehicle’s Consortium Management Firm funded by HHS BARDA. The 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract provides for funding of up to $460.7 million to conduct the Phase 2b study, manufacture a COVID-19 vaccine candidate targeting the KP.2 strain, and acquire an approved mRNA vaccine targeting the KP.2 strain. In February 2025, we entered into Modification No. 5 (the “Modification”) to the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract. The Modification increased the total amount of funding available for payment to approximately $240.1 million. Subsequently, in February 2025, we received written notification directing the Company to stop work on the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract, with the exception that we could continue effort associated with the per protocol follow-up for the 400-person cohort. The stop work order was in effect for a period of 90 days and, that within a period of 90 days, ATI, as directed by the U.S. Government, will either cancel the stop work order, extend the stop work, or terminate the work covered by the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract. Subsequently, in April 2025, the Company received written notification from ATI in the form of a stop work order lift (the “Lift Notice”) that the stop work order had been lifted and that the Company may resume incurring costs, participating in meetings, and communicating with the Government and ATI concerning the project award. The Lift Notice required further discussion between the Company and HHS BARDA regarding costs, timelines, and regulatory pathway agreement. Subsequent to the Company’s receipt of the Lift Notice, the Company had a virtual meeting with HHS BARDA wherein the Company was told that it could proceed with screening for the 10,000-participant portion of the Phase 2b trial.

Current report

In the second half of 2024, we initiated and completed enrollment of the sentinel cohort of the Phase 2b study consisting of 400 individuals comparing our XBB COVID-19 vaccine candidate against an approved mRNA XBB comparator. In January 2025, an independent data safety monitoring board (“DSMB”) recommended the study to proceed without modifications based on initial safety assessment of 30-day data from the sentinel cohort. If we receive approval from HHS BARDA, we will progress to the next part of the study to enroll approximately 10,000 participants comparing our KP.2 COVID-19 vaccine candidate against an approved mRNA KP.2 comparator.

Current report

***Avian influenza vaccine.***We continue to advance our avian influenza program. We previously published data demonstrating protection in a preclinical model against avian influenza after oral immunization (Clin Vaccine Immunol 2013). We recently created a new avian influenza vaccine candidate to cover the latest clade 2.3.4.4b. The new avian influenza vaccine was 100% protective against death in a robust ferret clade 2.3.4.4b challenge model compared to 0% survival in placebo treated animals. Additional details will be presented in upcoming scientific conferences and published in a scientific paper.

Current report

We are in the early stages of developing a bivalent HPV vaccine against HPV-16 and HPV-18, the strains responsible for approximately 70% of cases of cervical cancer. We plan to target the E6 and E7 gene products of each strain, which are the primary oncogenic proteins responsible for progression through the stages of CIN to invasive cervical cancer. In pre-clinical studies, we have demonstrated immunogenicity for both our HPV-16 and our HPV-18 vaccine candidates. Specifically, mice given our HPV-16 or HPV-18 vaccines induced T cell responses to HPV as measured by IFN gamma ELISPOT. In addition, our HPV-16 vaccine has demonstrated tumor growth suppression as well as increased survival in a robust HPV tumor model in mice.

Current report

We will need to make a regulatory filing to proceed with clinical trials for an HPV vaccine candidate. Our clinical plan is to test the vaccine candidate in subjects with cervical dysplasia related to HPV-16 or HPV-18, and to evaluate the ability of the vaccine candidate to clear HPV infection, reduce the cervical dysplasia score, and induce T cells known to be important in the clearance of HPV. The primary endpoint will be safety and the secondary endpoint will be immunogenicity by examining T cell responses. Although clinical responses will be tracked, it is expected that the first study may not be powered to obtain statistically significant efficacy readouts.

Current report

Even though we do not currently retain the related royalties under the transaction, as the amounts are remitted to HCRP, we will continue to record revenue related to these royalties until the amount of the associated liability and related interest is fully amortized.

Current report

As we continue to explore commercial opportunities, and plan to work with business partners, in both U.S. and international markets, we remain attentive to evolving global economic conditions, including uncertainties related to international trade policies, tariffs, and supply chain dynamics. Although these factors have not had a material impact on our operations to date, future changes in trade regulations, tariff structures, or logistical constraints could influence the cost, availability, or timing of materials, services and other components associated with the development of our tablet vaccines and manufacturing capabilities. We continue to monitor these developments closely to maintain operational efficiency and help mitigate potential future impacts.

Current report

In March 2025, the Company entered into an At the Market Offering Agreement (the “March 2025 ATM”) with Citizens JMP Securities, LLC (“Citizens”) and B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“B. Riley” and, together with Citizens, the “Managers”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time through the Managers, shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50 million. The shares will be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-270671), as previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company filed a prospectus supplement, dated March 21, 2025, with the SEC in connection with the offer and sale of the shares under the March 2025 ATM. The Company will pay the Managers a placement fee of up to 3% of the gross sale price from each sale of the shares under the March 2025 ATM. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has not sold any shares under the March 2025 ATM.

Previous report

Figure 1. The following table outlines the status of our oral vaccine development programs:

Previous report

In July 2023, we announced our Phase 2 placebo-controlled dose-ranging trial evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of our bivalent norovirus vaccine candidate met all primary endpoints and our bivalent norovirus vaccine candidate was well-tolerated with robust immunogenicity based on preliminary topline data. Preliminary results showed robust increases in serum antibody responses across both doses at Day 29 relative to Day 1. Placebo subjects did not have a measurable increase in the antibody response. The vaccine candidate also had a favorable safety profile that included no vaccine-related serious adverse events and no dose limiting toxicity. Adverse event rates for both doses were similar to placebo.

Previous report

We have also created additional norovirus GI.1 and GII.4 constructs that may be more potent than the constructs being evaluated in clinical trials. We are discussing the regulatory feedback from the FDA, clinical data on current constructs, and preclinical data generated on new constructs with certain key opinion leaders to assist us in determining the best way to progress our norovirus program.

Previous report

In September 2022, we announced the results from the first part of a two-part Phase 2 clinical study evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of our oral COVID-19 (spike (“S”) protein only) vaccine candidate VXA-CoV2-1.1-S met both its primary and secondary endpoints based on topline data. VXA-CoV2-1.1-S was able to boost the serum antibody responses for volunteers that previously received an mRNA vaccine (either Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna). Serum neutralizing antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 (Wuhan), a recognized correlate of protection, were boosted in this population from a geometric mean of 481 to 778, a fold rise of 1.6. Volunteers that had lower starting titers had larger increases than subjects that had higher titers. There were also substantial increases in the neutralizing antibody responses to the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA4/5 in these volunteers as measured by sVNT assay. Increases in the mucosal IgA antibody responses (antibodies in the nose and mouth) were observed in approximately 50% of subjects. Subjects that had an increase in the mucosal IgA response to SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan S had an increase in IgA responses to other coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA4/5, SARS-CoV-1, and MERS-CoV, demonstrating the cross-reactive nature of these immune readouts. We are not proceeding with the second part of the study.

Previous report

In February 2021, we announced our Phase 1 study evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of our oral COVID-19 (S and nucleocapsid (“N”) proteins) vaccine candidate VXA-CoV2-1 met both its primary and secondary endpoints based on preliminary data. Initial results showing cross-reactive mucosal antibody responses were published inScience Translational Medicine. Additional detailed study results and mucosal durability data were reported inmedRxiv in July 2022.

Previous report

We have made a COVID-19 vaccine candidate that expresses only the S protein from the SARS-CoV-2 XBB strain. Based on preclinical data, our XBB COVID-19 vaccine candidate is more potent than our prior COVID-19 vaccine constructs. We are also in the process of manufacturing a COVID-19 vaccine candidate targeting the SARS-CoV-2 KP.2 strain.

Previous report

We initiated the sentinel cohort of the Phase 2b clinical trial in September 2024. Upon a favorable review by the DSMB and FDA, we anticipate initiating the second part of the Phase 2b clinical trial, aiming to enroll approximately 10,000 participants, in early 2025.

Previous report

We have also initiated early-stage development on novel vaccine constructs containing our own antigens to develop a universal influenza vaccine candidate. We had previously produced a non-GMP oral vaccine candidate containing certain proprietary antigens from Janssen Vaccines & Prevention B.V. (“Janssen”) and tested the candidate in a preclinical challenge model. The preclinical study has been completed and we have submitted a report to Janssen. In August 2023, Janssen announced it would exit all vaccine and infectious disease R&D programs aside from an E. coli preventive vaccine and continuing to provide access to marketed HIV products. Vaxart is no longer pursuing a universal influenza vaccine using Janssen intellectual property.

Previous report

We have tested our HPV 16 vaccine candidate in two different HPV 16 solid tumor models in mice. The HPV 16 vaccine candidate elicited T cell responses and promoted migration of the activated T cells into the tumors, leading to tumor cell killing. Mice that received our HPV 16 vaccine candidate showed a significant reduction in volume of their established tumors.

Previous report

In October 2018, we filed a pre-IND meeting request with the FDA for our first therapeutic vaccine candidate targeting HPV 16 and HPV 18 and we subsequently submitted our pre-IND briefing package. We received feedback from the FDA in January 2019 to support submission of an IND application to support initiation of clinical testing.

Previous report

The Company remains engaged in discussions with regulatory agencies, governments, non-governmental organizations and other potential strategic parties to determine the best way to progress its HPV program.

Previous report

In November 2022, we accepted a grant (the “BMGF Grant”) of $3.5 million to perform research and development work for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and received $2.0 million in advance that was recorded as restricted cash and deferred revenue. We received an additional $1.5 million in July 2023 upon completion of certain milestones. We recognize revenue under research contracts only when a contract is executed and the contract price is fixed or determinable. Revenue from the BMGF Grant was recognized in the period during which the related costs were incurred and the related services rendered, as the applicable conditions under the contract were met. Costs of contract revenue were recorded as a component of operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. We fully recognized revenue from the BMGF Grant during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Previous report

We recognized revenue from the BMGF Grant of zero and $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and zero and $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. All research and development work under the BMGF Grant was completed during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Previous report

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, research and development expenses decreased by $1.9 million, or 4%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in clinical trial expenses related to our norovirus vaccine candidate, stock-based compensation expense, severance and other personnel-related costs, offset by increases in clinical trial expenses as related to our COVID-19 vaccine candidate, manufacturing and preclinical expenses and facilities expenses.

Previous report

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.4 million, or 2%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation expenses, and directors’ and officers’ insurance costs, offset by increases in severance costs and legal and other professional fees.

Previous report

In September 2021, we entered into a Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “September 2021 ATM”), under which we may offer and sell, from time to time through sales agents, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100 million. We incurred direct expenses and paid sales commissions of up to 3.0% of gross proceeds from the sale of shares under the September 2021 ATM. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 7,719,641 shares were issued and sold under the September 2021 ATM for gross proceeds of $9.1 million, which, after deducting sales commissions and expenses incurred to date, resulted in net proceeds of $8.8 million. Effective October 18, 2024, the Company terminated the September 2021 ATM and discontinued all offers and sales of common stock thereunder.

Previous report

Share-based payment arrangements. Beginning in 2022, we shifted from awarding only options to issuing a mixture of options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to our employees. As of September 30, 2024, the unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to outstanding unvested stock options and RSUs expected to vest was $15.9 million, which we expect to recognize over an estimated weighted average period of 2.3 years. See Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 for further details on stock-based compensation expense recognized.

Previous report

Intangible assets acquired in the Merger were initially recorded at their estimated fair values of $20.3 million for developed technology related to Inavir which was, until it was revalued, being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of future royalties of 11.75 years. The developed technology related to Inavir was revalued at $5.0 million as of December 31, 2022, resulting in an impairment loss of $4.3 million being recorded. These valuations were prepared with the assistance of an independent third party based on discounted cash flows of estimated future revenue streams, which are highly subjective. The fair value as of September 30, 2024, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining period of 5.1 years.
Reworded paragraphs (45)

Previous wording

In September 2023, we announced that our Phase 2 GI.1 norovirus challenge study evaluating the safety, immunogenicity, and clinical efficacy of the GI.1 component of our bivalent norovirus vaccine candidate met five of six primary endpoints based on preliminary topline data. The study achieved its primary endpoints of a statistically significant 29% relative reduction in the rate of norovirus infection between the vaccinated and placebo arms, a strong induction of norovirus-specific immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies, and other immune response endpoints. Vaccination also led to a 21% relative reduction in norovirus acute gastroenteritis in the vaccine arm compared to placebo, but this was not statistically significant. In prespecified analyses, the study also showed an 85% relative decrease in viral shedding in the vaccine arm compared with placebo and no statistically significant difference in disease severity in the vaccinated cohort compared with placebo. The vaccine candidate was also safe and well tolerated with no vaccine-related serious adverse events.

Current wording

Adult and Elderly. In September 2023, we announced that our Phase 2 GI.1 norovirus challenge study evaluating the safety, immunogenicity, and clinical efficacy of the GI.1 component of our first-generation bivalent norovirus vaccine candidate met five of six primary endpoints based on preliminary topline data. The study achieved its primary endpoints of a statistically significant 29% relative reduction in the rate of norovirus infection between the vaccinated and placebo arms, a strong induction of norovirus-specific immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies, and other immune response endpoints.

Previous wording

In the second half of 2024, we received constructive feedback from the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) on our data for potential correlates of protection and next steps for our norovirus program. While we believe we have identified a functional antibody response that may be associated with protection for norovirus, the FDA requested new clinical data before proceeding with further review of our potential correlate.

While we believe we have identified a functional antibody response that may be associated with protection for norovirus, the FDA requested new clinical data before proceeding with further review of our potential correlate.

Previous wording

In the Fall of 2022, we announced a Phase 1 study that would receive significant funding and support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to evaluate whether our bivalent norovirus vaccine candidate induces antibodies in the breast milk of lactating mothers and whether infants up to six months of age can acquire those antibodies by breastfeeding. Passive transfer of antibodies from mother to infant that are induced in milk may protect breastfeeding infants from infectious pathogens. We initiated this study in the fourth quarter of 2023 and announced positive top line results in April 2024. Top line results showed antibodies rose in lactating mothers who received the high dose of our bivalent vaccine candidate. Specifically, serum antibodies to norovirus rose on average 5.6 fold in response to the GI.1 virus strain and 4.4 fold in response to the GII.4 virus strain and breast milk antibodies to norovirus rose on average 4.0 fold in response to the GI.1 virus strain and 6.0 fold in response to the GII.4 virus strain. The vaccine was well tolerated with no vaccine-related serious adverse events and no dose-limiting pharmacotoxicity. As a grant recipient from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Vaxart has agreed to a global access commitment for use of its bivalent norovirus vaccine candidate, if proven effective and approved, in breastfeeding mothers from low- and middle-income countries.

Current wording

Breastfeeding Mothers. In 2022, we partnered with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to execute a Phase 1 norovirus bivalent vaccine candidate study in 76 healthy, lactating post-partum, women volunteers, to determine the impact of our norovirus vaccine on breast milk norovirus-specific IgA and its potential presence, post-breastfeeding, within infant fecal samples. The study was randomized, double-blinded, and placebo controlled and evaluated the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the placebo cohorts and two vaccine cohorts: medium dose (1×1011 IU) and high dose (2×1011 IU). Passive transfer of antibodies from mother to infant that are induced in milk may protect breastfeeding infants from infectious pathogens. We initiated this study in the fourth quarter of 2023 and announced positive top line results in April 2024. Top line results showed antibodies rose in lactating mothers who received the high dose of our bivalent vaccine candidate. Specifically, serum antibodies to norovirus rose on average 5.6 fold in response to the GI.1 virus strain and 4.4 fold in response to the GII.4 virus strain and breast milk antibodies to norovirus rose on average 4.0 fold in response to the GI.1 virus strain and 6.0 fold in response to the GII.4 virus strain. The vaccine was well tolerated with no vaccine-related serious adverse events and no dose-limiting pharmacotoxicity.

The 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract further contemplates additional funding up to $359.6 million if we and HHS BARDA decide to continue with the Phase 2b comparative study. Revenue from government contracts recognized on the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract was $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, based on costs incurred and the achievement of a firm fixed-price milestone under the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract.

Current wording

In June 2024, we entered into the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract. In the second half of 2024, the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract was modified to increase funding and expand the scope to include the manufacture of a vaccine candidate targeting the KP.2 strain and acquire an approved mRNA vaccine targeting the KP.2 strain. Pursuant to the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract (as modified or amended from time to time), we may receive funding of up to $460.7 million to conduct a Phase 2b comparative study evaluating our oral pill COVID-19 vaccine candidate against an mRNA vaccine comparator approved by the FDA. The 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract makes available an aggregate amount of up to $240.1 million, consisting of firm fixed price amounts totaling $67.9 million and reimbursement of costs incurred in trial preparation and execution activities. The 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract further contemplates additional funding up to $220.6 million if we and HHS BARDA decide to continue with the Phase 2b comparative study. Revenue from government contracts recognized on the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract was $19.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 based on costs incurred and the achievement of firm fixed-price milestones under the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract.

In September 2024, the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract was amended to increase funding and expand the scope to include the manufacture of a vaccine candidate targeting the KP.2 strain. Pursuant to the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract, we will receive funding of up to $456.1 million to conduct a Phase 2b comparative study evaluating our oral pill COVID-19 vaccine candidate against an mRNA vaccine comparator approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and manufacture a COVID-19 vaccine candidate targeting the KP.2 strain. As of September 30, 2024, we received $65.4 million of cash payments under the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract. Subsequent to September 30, 2024, through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have received $0.6 million under the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract.

Current wording

In June 2024, we entered into the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract. Pursuant to the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract, we may receive funding of up to $460.7 million to conduct a Phase 2b comparative study evaluating our oral pill COVID-19 vaccine candidate against an mRNA vaccine comparator approved by the FDA, manufacture a COVID-19 vaccine candidate targeting the KP.2 strain, and acquire an approved mRNA vaccine targeting the KP.2 strain.

Previous wording

As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately $58.7 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. We believe our existing funds are sufficient to fund us for at least one year from the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report. To continue operations thereafter, we expect that we will need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional securities or otherwise. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, most notably our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services.

Current wording

As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $41.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Our cash, cash equivalents and investments are not sufficient to fund our planned operations for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report. To continue operations, we expect that we will need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional securities or otherwise; however, adequate funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, particularly in light of current economic uncertainty, high interest rates, rising inflation, tariffs, and the potential for local and/or global economic recession. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, most notably our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services.

Previous wording

We may fund a significant portion of our ongoing operations through partnering and collaboration agreements which, while reducing our risks and extending our cash runway, will also reduce our share of eventual revenues, if any, from our vaccine candidates. We may be able to fund certain activities with assistance from government programs. We may also fund our operations through debt financing, which would result in debt service obligations, and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations.

Current wording

We may fund a significant portion of our ongoing operations through partnering and collaboration agreements which, while reducing our risks and extending our cash runway, will also reduce our share of eventual revenues, if any, from our vaccine candidates. We may be able to fund certain activities with assistance from government programs. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our stockholders. We may also fund our operations through debt financing, which would result in debt service obligations, and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce, or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market vaccine candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves. Any of these actions could harm our business, results of operations and prospects.

Previous wording

However, due to several factors, including those outside management’s control, there can be no assurance that we will be able to complete additional financing transactions. If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms, management’s plans include further reducing or delaying operating expenses.

Current wording

Based on management’s current plan, we expect to have enough cash runway into the first quarter of 2026. If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms, management’s plans include further reducing or delaying operating expenses. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.

Vaccination also led to a 21% relative reduction in norovirus acute gastroenteritis in the vaccine arm compared to placebo, but this was not statistically significant. In prespecified analyses, the study also showed an 85% relative decrease in viral shedding in the vaccine arm compared with placebo and no statistically significant difference in disease severity in the vaccinated cohort compared with placebo. The vaccine candidate was also safe and well tolerated with no vaccine-related serious adverse events.
