"2023 was characterized by record revenue growth for HEPLISAV-B, and the achievement of becoming the market share leader in the two largest growth segments, demonstrating important progress toward our goal of establishing HEPLISAV-B as the leading vaccine in the U.S. adult hepatitis B vaccine market," said Ryan Spencer, Chief Executive Officer of Dynavax. "We expect 2024 to be an important year in building a vaccine portfolio of best-in-class products, including further growing the HEPLISAV-B brand as well as advancing our pipeline programs into clinical trial initiations and data readouts. Importantly, our strong financial position provides us with the optionality to continue to build value across our business, including through investing to drive the HEPLISAV-B market opportunity, advancing and expanding our R&D efforts, and pursuing strategic opportunities to accelerate our growth." BUSINESS UPDATES HEPLISAV-B® [Hepatitis B Vaccine (Recombinant), Adjuvanted] HEPLISAV-B vaccine is the first and only adult hepatitis B vaccine approved in the U.S., the European Union and Great Britain that enables series completion with only two doses in one month. Hepatitis B vaccination is universally recommended for adults aged 19-59 in the U.S. HEPLISAV-B vaccine net product revenue for the fourth quarter and full year 2023 were approximately $51.1 million and $213.3 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 46% and 69% compared to the fourth quarter and full year 2022. HEPLISAV-B total market share in the U.S. increased to approximately 42% at the end of 2023, compared to approximately 35% at the end of 2022. HEPLISAV-B market share in the retail pharmacy segment increased to approximately 58% at the end of 2023, compared to approximately 42% at the end of 2022. HEPLISAV-B market share in the Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs) and Large Clinics segment increased to approximately 56% at the end of 2023, compared to approximately 47% at the end of 2022. A supplemental Biologic License Application (sBLA) for HEPLISAV-B vaccination of adults on hemodialysis is currently under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date planned for May 13, 2024. Driven by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices (ACIP) universal recommendation for adult hepatitis B vaccination, the hepatitis B vaccine market continues to expand in the U.S. and Dynavax believes the U.S. market has the potential to grow to approximately $800 million by 2027, with HEPLISAV-B well-positioned to achieve a majority market share. Clinical Pipeline Dynavax is advancing a pipeline of differentiated product candidates that leverage its CpG 1018® adjuvant, which has demonstrated its ability to enhance the immune response with a favorable tolerability profile in a wide range of clinical trials and real-world commercial use. Shingles vaccine program: Z-1018 is an investigational vaccine candidate being developed for the prevention of shingles in adults aged 50 and older. Dynavax recently submitted an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) to the U.S. FDA to support initiation of a Phase 1/2 trial of Z-1018 in the first half of 2024. Tdap vaccine program: Tdap-1018 is an investigational vaccine candidate intended for active booster immunization against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap). Dynavax plans to submit an IND to the U.S. FDA to support the initiation of a Phase 2 human challenge study of Tdap-1018 in the second half of 2024, upon completion of the independent study conducted by the Canadian Center for Vaccinology to establish the human challenge dose. Plague vaccine program: Dynavax is developing a plague (rF1V) vaccine candidate adjuvanted with CpG 1018® currently in a Phase 2 clinical trial in collaboration with, and fully funded by, the U.S. Department of Defense. Dynavax anticipates top line data for the randomized, active-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating immunogenicity, safety, and tolerability of the plague vaccine candidate in 2024.
