Forward guidance

Dynavax is focused on the development and commercialization of novel vaccines, including HEPLISAV-B and CpG 1018-adjuvanted vaccines. The company anticipates several milestones in the coming quarters, including final immunogenicity data from the HEPLISAV-B hemodialysis study, completion of safety follow-up for HEPLISAV-B post-marketing studies, and preliminary results from Phase 1 COVID-19 studies.

Tailwinds

  • Final immunogenicity data from the ongoing study of HEPLISAV-B in patients on hemodialysis anticipated in the fourth quarter with publication planned in the first quarter of 2021.
  • Completion of safety follow-up for HEPLISAV-B post-marketing studies in the fourth quarter.
  • Completion of Phase 1-enabling animal studies and toxicology for an improved pertussis vaccine with CpG 1018 is planned for the fourth quarter.
  • Preliminary safety and immunogenicity results from Phase 1 COVID-19 studies with Clover Biopharmaceuticals and Medicago expected by September and October, respectively.

Headwinds

  • The vaccine market and/or the adult hepatitis B market may not grow as expected.
  • COVID-19 will continue to have a significant negative impact on the use of vaccines, including HEPLISAV-B, until the U.S. returns to more normal conditions.
  • HEPLISAV-B may not provide the anticipated benefits and may not become the standard of care adult hepatitis B vaccine in the U.S.
  • Our growth initiatives may not be successful.
  • Risks related to the development and clinical testing of vaccines and whether use of CpG 1018 will prove to be beneficial in other vaccines.
