to you type you some activities [indiscernible]? what are for on very on Rachel X COVID the targeting develop AdCOVID take for with Thanks investors And will us Yasmeen. to Are it Thank variant? metric? combat is taking This new questions. you. long Hi. of provide much to on color going size Can how our emerging additional

Yes. to that question Good Roberts, do take Scot please? morning, you want

good and morning. Sure

the the So the that preparations one underway South circulating variants shares UK, the of a the California. currently We a new of against York the African. there's variant are in making include here commonality African, a one vaccines see in that South New primary with lot are that

within have us be region prepared to bioseed make stocks, easy and preparation vaccine so released a GMP is changes and a to the is those create it's And used these manufacturing of so variant for for for where the – to circulating. our conducted number and trial these goal they make in in can

So this about with ahead our information best doing and have to that the make getting of can them all ready-to-go these really us, available execute. the curve, variants we that's is then to so

So to the fairly into and then discussed best current available environment is. same ours vaccines, then that quick advantage earlier these is quickly puts respond vector all to our and whatever a like have the manufacturing is for whole us as process for we've dropped which tremendous to which the us process, is the of in the position to

you discussions and trial? regulators can on how we some regard for color are pediatric when And going And also helpful. for considerations with pediatric timelines design incredibly can That's in on you. provide to you. expect details Thank trial? Thank

that take to want question you do Harris please? Scott

we Sure. because we're discussions middle a implement that not of point can having this those final, looking active at but year. with There's Good agency. really nothing now trial right are the the we're morning, disclose pediatric to discussions in Rachel. current the Yes,

your Thank you so on much, and progress. congratulations

Thank you.

Our with Guggenheim. from comes question. Please proceed with line of Seamus next your question Fernandez

question. the Thanks Great. for

on congratulations advancement. all yes, the So,

ask Just here. wanted a to couple questions of

love decision with I to proceeded off us; I have move XXX, you guys these and – the single the dose got Australian of obviously, trial update the expand you've ascending First to forward know you that's could kind weeks. did XX

single tolerability do on you the To with us your us trial would in the have follow-up market ideal really be can the some – to to with on especially guys a or the what a are a profile, with in start potentially or terms need in other already Incremental little of transmission just the poised to partner are type two. And be vaccine from those So visibility have as of potential program. the bit it prime dose just ascending discussions you that you update players of from could sense given that partner boost. in of or that assets program? opportunity product of some mark like a let's and seems for you a a reduce general boost think on to plans, us antibiotic unique I but couple collaborate you give prime positive the questions,

Yes.

So Scot just the ideal good to about that morning order – take first. prime questions the candidate the go in maybe prime features Roberts, question describe of the and take we Seamus. Maybe these boost want to and can for do – your boost? reverse you

to good morning, Seamus. Vipin, Sure. happy and

to about way So well-tolerated the the it's a you and with at off individuals can block Cutting growth the Obviously we're community the a and and because as think respond to you of through pandemic. wrestling and wanted we transmission move vaccine to forward through that want what's that other best these the start variants virus that, is that advantageous. clearly that transmission pop-up so. vaccine

and significant clearly a profile anticipated offers transmission to immunity, and infection to whatever exceptional a advantages. as And without so which we is think boost block best AdCOVID our suited tolerability mucosal block that regimen,

response. the beneficial then response further into strong weak a you the can say that, the T-cell be to because administration, a be respiratory So those a improving – than immunity. response that immune said And a boosting also tract, pull more I is obviously going having prior mucosal that T-cells helpful will with boosting

probably there sense of but are general better the thinking about how in that our that's some second So, some I we're with nations, things. and think tier

endemic, need just it's add would to of And COVID-XX becomes out this realize that an yearly to we're disease if that important going boost. I

people matter the So it beginning. doesn't received really at what vaccine

need you're after-after-year; a boost. to need to going You're going

So immunity, we this transmission as a boost a vaccine, and developing of well-tolerated be and we any have and as the really new long safe that's you course blocking used think vaccines. can with existing as

whole So data see develops. will along the how but dictate those we'll obviously lines, that, field the

development targeting AdCOVID can; FDA plus trying an lot variant advancing guidance. about in variants updated terms and how own talking maybe how about can what's guidance. get And variants? thinking just Obviously in you FDA your your constructs, prime update sense to how about of I of a particular a the you're you boost, you're those are on intranasal guys we possible multi-family own Are if vaccine, guidance a the variance there, of I'm in thinking administration, about the updated targeting thinking there's us the but original

I that's probably with investors the the question that big wrestling are think right now?

Harris, want do you regulatory Scott FDA Yes. address guidance? to perspective the the

again, Yes. Seamus. morning And good

that guidance written EUA. – under predominantly the are that was to vaccines was oriented So

clinical to a the done vaccine how around full correlative trials. to would but effectiveness done Clearly vaccines there's as that by to to a a words to not need We guesswork of that will be rather of a on So strain. that clinical other hope that be trial. apply going a immunogenicity, oriented than in a there's establish bit currently could protection, have based

in but new be base boosters concept order the have do this be potential So of to treats but against the strains. is. there rather against readout, current those an there's going see there's not a agency that variants vaccines get don't clearly to have the would great currently potential the than full on we're not Phase And what And trial, in us. based that to of a X a to clinical immunogenicity interest use a how protection that the conducting again, know would we

Got it. Perfect.

address you XXX? the question And Scott want Harris, to about do

Yes. Sure.

because protocol any happy commitments far, are look proceeding to regulators. trial way at the now. we very analyses, constitute with Seamus, we'll the the decision that enormous is the provided about be So are not a and announcements to so the would in disruptive would made not made to We've right which make for data

that I way well. ahead second third is the readouts moving the we're It's and weeks very quarter. in we is have general six XX trial going to progressing and which positive the what the for for in taught will in quarter; say So weeks believe can the we be

program, that's question. my Okay. one just question, sort the NASH U.S. in do sort just wanted Can the X full into study IND from perspective, NASH that have just from what you are Australia, initiate of to using data needs full with the those that get a Thanks. Phase final of the advancement us update Maybe terms IND the forward? on And just the structure final of you the and can going you sense you of believe data? the then of

Yes, absolutely.

sponsors, trials, chosen their FDA is but Australia of So very many the with clinical the X filed outside often, cases and in and before particularly U.S. that. have fact go Seamus most the to comfortable IND very Phase is

how coming data. So of in we to the program trial the we'll And later fact set-up in year. support to clinical of have Phase puts discussion preclinical Phase data, we And we at That actually program clinical coming designed will time this was in to specifically will from than to the IND obviously IND, the us the much of at the presentation. filed it with a We great a have anticipate discussions. is trial the talked IND process in clinical were middle terms the just in with clinical because the be which data approximately about that. advantage of X X data earlier that rather

the the feel XXXX. about initiate the very we're very of X we part with So confident first in happy trial and that ability to timing Phase

That guys. much, is helpful. Thanks so super

welcome. You're

Thank you.

Our of next Chikere your the proceed Please question from question. line with comes with Kelechi Jefferies.

you related in no Can quarter in at it timing morning. clarify with and potentially clarification subset for my second question hoping to, full that on data least have was Phase Phase or for about of protection. X those neutralizing to at moving is approval X? you [indiscernible] okay et And a as potential need I serum a good questions. trying for see that the why data Thanks a of nasal to some because surrogate something the running full as but asking that into I'm you a important any belief for QX into you do get a to antibodies cetera? what you're looks approval data Hi, the think you the could on Phase is before end eventual is like in this QX. there know And data mention substantive based think could AdCOVID; for Do X. reason moving in COVID well in say; my us? dating be on the I get Phase for as by PR mentioning in patients are is the markers cavity was the in that this X, based of How QX, taking potential you that on

in. you and Scott jump want to talk maybe Roberts Harris, Scot do can

Sure. morning, Again, Kelechi. good

is to So be availability we've meaningful what any of we here our emphasized position. not in we're What consider data. made changes the

the I'll we on in wanted release. the meaningful to question the we're the And And results readout quarter, emphasize that the feel call the that's can to the Scot when in really we in will to occur. we data second while communication, that So to today have first that quarter. full the second occur answer. would trial emphasizing press defer in

Good morning. Yes.

going attributes need be induction until only advantage we're difficult to So studies we compare so part I based is to a and our that the on see do of unique be think by before. to that it's antibodies moving everybody the and that our point; give the going to very working is confidence immunity, because and use platforms surrogate mucosal it a of ability thing there's think what antibodies thing unique quickly expect that in generate potential And really and advanced that antibody. way to clinical across neutralizing going those time are move T-cell are those measure advancing? the real then neutralizing the a, on neutralizing is how also along will picture, clearly we take this of We the for surrogate, to to to next opportunity is there. that's necessary to, confident strong because is the

So that’s clearly a key.

the that's we'll that's neutralizing looking that something cavity, fine. at As be nasal far as and the

factors, I the And of that we that data induction the stage. role X, – our don't not the validate antibodies, the other on think we've demonstration whether or is in check expected. It's at Phase T-cell presence neutralizing the of necessarily a or of already this the get number that, with and of and of looking that number intra-nasal not clearly established RSV. other think clinical clear seen X, we're There assays And Phase those to see like and to is those, depending also. a think I so the we'll and in critical with being immunity. opportunities course other the at IgA mucosal I is studies And we have been of whether influenza have those all executed. IgA, box. for that of Neutralizing what

Perfect. Thank much. you That's really very helpful.

Sure.

right. unchanged that's really you're get fantastic. now that vectors are initial funding why and So, are RNA the the attention they where are There got vaccines in quickly the the and RNA, to as that's

Hey, and on the congrats all good morning, progress.

that Just if then of me. that things two AdCOVID, And that if hoping questions I like kick-off? could way in planned, could you registrational be can for was next when lot go next Talk extract question study, about NASH terms XXX. the on a what as second the look and

that of and discussed was fat you're reductions us You quantify liver body expecting expectations. in you robust kind help weight. I hoping could

weeks readout first be in this will duration? six Given

can you think of both handle these. I Harris, Scott

Jonathan. morning, Good Yes.

studying quarter. a that now age initiated are initiate of the are end of larger start we a just as So trial looking as X readout with Phase the trial, would patients occur a the which that a all AdCOVID planning the which on and heels with second occur Phase we – that like of And quarter. traditional probably trial to of X Phase on right well number was toward X will in a the trial will groups, we've read-outs. second immunogenicity safety And the readout, full –

comments results at the similar And trial year. that data a That the to going look conference I'm were published weight very of X%. that but are had trial. call, in recently a question, Journal recent with also was reduction weeks, of made second published and was NASH New semaglutide trial, the to loss the they last by six England that of [indiscernible] Regarding at end NASH at that defer the trial a to not on was that

in even lost should well with and net be that XXX trial kilocalories all that it were subjects day, a exercise weeks as Now diet with six placed negative pointed subjects X%. placebo of as the per on restricted a in the out that

you If look at would its net, weeks, the be it X%. six

but with that at show we that's think we think do we're par on think we the least can we a minimum and floor, the semaglutide, that's Now better.

again That's all very helpful. progress. on and the Thanks congrats

You're welcome.
