Forward guidance

Vaxcyte anticipates several key milestones including submitting an IND application for VAX-24 between January and June 2022 and initiating IND-enabling studies for VAX-A1 in the second half of 2021.

Tailwinds

  • VAX-24: Expects to submit an IND application to the FDA between January and June 2022.
  • VAX-24: Anticipates announcing topline data between late 2022 and early 2023 from the ensuing Phase 1/2 clinical proof-of-concept study in adults aged 50 and older.
  • VAX-A1: Plans to initiate IND-enabling studies in the second half of 2021.
  • VAX-PG: Expects to nominate a final vaccine candidate in the first half of 2022.

Headwinds

  • Extended timelines required to access certain critical components due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Availability of research support to complete preclinical proof-of-concept studies may impact timelines.
  • Potential delays or inability to obtain and maintain required regulatory approvals for its vaccine candidates.
  • Risks and uncertainties inherent with preclinical and clinical development processes.
  • Sufficiency of cash and other funding to support Vaxcyte’s development programs and other operating expenses.
