Chouon: Hi, this is Chouon on for Whitney. Congrats on the positive progress this quarter. I know you said you would provide the full details on the trial later this year, but anything else you can tell us about CFBase 2 study, like how long will study OB or what endpoints do you plan to assess other than FVV1?
Unknown Executive: Thanks, Juwan. Yeah, both questions are pertaining to the CF trial. The first is the Phase 2 trial. I think we mentioned that further details pertaining to the design of the Phase 2 CF study will be provided at an appropriate time later this year. We did share in today's call that we intend to recruit CF patients who are ineligible for modulator treatment, and that includes Class 1, patients, and also additional CF subjects who are potentially eligible, but they're not prescribed modulators for a variety of reasons. So that helps people understand where the focus is, what type of patients we're recruiting, which are most in need.
Speaker Change: Hi, this is Juan on for Whitney. Congrats on the positive progress this quarter. Maybe just a few questions here.
Juwan: I know you said you would provide the full details on the trial later this year, but is there anything else you can tell us about the CF Phase II study, like how long the study will be, or what endpoints do you plan to assess other than FEV1?
Chouon: Maybe just a quick one on the Phase 1-B study. Have you dose the seventh patient yet, and are there still plans to provide an update on the last three patients later this year?
Speaker Change: And then maybe just a quick one on the Phase 1b study. Have you dosed the seventh patient yet? And are there still plans to provide an update on the last three patients later this year?
Joseph Payne: Hey, thanks, Chouon. Both questions are pertaining to the CF trial. First is on the Phase 2 trial.

With respect to specific dose levels, we've just said that there's no febrile reactions that have been observed within the target dose range of our planned Phase 2 study.
Joseph Payne: Which respect to specific dose levels, we've just said that there's no fee-brow reactions that have been observed within the target dose range of our Plan Phase 2 study, based on what we saw on Phase 1 and Phase 1B. So we're not disclosing that at this time, but there'll be an appropriate time for us to share more details pertaining to the design of what's respected dosing and how long each cohort will be receiving doses, et cetera.
Unknown Executive: With respect to specific dose levels, we've just said that there were no febrile reactions that were observed within the target dose range of our planned phase two study, based on what we saw in phase one and phase one B.

Joseph Payne: What's respect to the Phase 1B? The dosing has successfully completed. No SAEs were observed in any of the clinical participants to date. No fee-brow reactions again were observed within the target dose range of our plant phase two study.
Unknown Executive: With respect to Phase 1b, the dosing has successfully completed, and no SAEs have been observed in any of the clinical participants to date. Additionally, no febrile reactions again were observed within the target dose range of our Plant Phase 2 study.
Speaker Change: With respect to the Phase 1b, the dosing has successfully completed. No SAEs were observed in any of the clinical participants to date.
Speaker Change: No febrile reactions again were observed within the target dose range of our plant phase 2 study.
Joseph Payne: The LCI or the lung clearance index was collected, and while it may be encouraging, it's not a validated assay in adults. So our focus now going forward is just simply on the phase two study, which is going to come here very quickly now that we filed an IND. So that's where we'll likely be able to collect some very meaningful and statistically significant data.
Unknown Executive: The LCI, or the Lung Clearance Index, was collected, and while it may be encouraging, it's not a validated assay in adults.

Unknown Executive: Good afternoon, team, and thank you so much for all the great updates. I have a few questions. Joe, could you, you alluded to that the design of the CF study will be coming shortly. Are we just awaiting IND clearance, and then you're going to announce the study design? Simple question one. Question two: could you maybe talk about what the duration of the study is? I apologize if I missed it. And the third question is, could you maybe help us understand the timing for the COVID vaccine approval here in Europe, as we were expecting that in the third quarter? And how should we be thinking about, sort of. If there's any eligibility for any orders for 2024 and thoughts around 2025 in your
Speaker Change: Good afternoon, team, and thank you so much for all the great updates. A few questions.
Yasmeen Rahimi: Jo, you could allude to that, you know, the design of the CF study will be coming shortly. Are we just awaiting IND clearance, and then you're going to announce the study design?

Speaker Change: And then third question is, could you maybe help us understand the timing for the COVID vaccine approval here in Europe , as we were expecting that in the third quarter, and how should we be thinking about sort of
Speaker Change: If there's any eligibility for any orders for 2024 and thoughts around 2025 in Europe .
Joseph Payne: Yeah, well, with respect to orders, I'll defer to Andy, but I can address your question on the COVID vaccine timing in Europe. CSL is going to be providing all commercial guidance in Europe and the US, so we defer to them with respect to guidance in Europe. Having said that, the review is active and ongoing as planned, and we're excited to get the first self-amplifying mRNA product approved in Europe as part of that process, but we defer guidance to CSL on that note.

Joseph Payne: With respect to the design and duration of the Phase 2 trial, we first get approval to proceed as the plan, and then we get the sites up and running and we initiate recruitment of those folks that are ineligible for modulator therapy. Then, sometime later this year, it will be an appropriate time to provide more details to the Phase 2 design. It may be after we get approval to proceed, assuming success, but we're not going to be sharing any more details on this call today.

Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Evan Wang with Guggenheim Securities. Please proceed with your question.
Evan Wang: Please proceed with your question. Hey guys, thanks for the question. Just first on OTC, you know, just wondering what you'd consider good data from the e-portion of the trial. Just given that, you know, there's, I think that's focused on the 0.3 makes for cake this while you're going up to 0.7 makes for cake in the US.
Unknown Attendee: Hey guys, thanks for the question. Just first, I know you see, you know, just wondering what you'd consider good data from the EU portion of the trial, just given that, you know, there's, I think that's focused on the 0.3 makes-per-gig dose, while you're going up to 0.7 makes-per-gig in the U.S., and then if you can share anything in terms of, you know, how Recruitment in the U.S. study is going, or how patient identification is going.
Speaker Change: Hey guys, thanks for the question. Just first on OTC,
Evan Wang: I'm just wondering what you'd consider good data from the EU portion of the trial just given that you know there's
Speaker Change: I think that's focused on the 0.3 MFK disk while you're going up to 0.7 MFK in the U.S. And then you can share anything in terms of, you know, how...
Evan Wang: Then you can sure anything in terms of, you know, how recruitment in the US study is going or how patient identified the location is going.
Speaker Change: Recruitment in the U.S. study is going, or how patient identification is going. And then, you know, second, just, you know, if you provide any sort of updates in terms of the Japanese COVID vaccine market, in terms of, you know,
Unknown Attendee: And then, you know, second, just, you know, if you provide any sort of updates in terms of the Japanese COVID vaccine market, in terms of, you know, maybe I guess expectations for, you know, shots in the arm versus the potential upside of, you know, having the additional badges qualified. Thanks.
Evan Wang: And then, you know, second, just, you know, if you provide any sort of updates in terms of the Japanese code of XU market, in terms of, you know, maybe I guess, expectations for, you know, shots in arm versus the potential upside of, you know, having the additional badges qualified. Thanks.
Speaker Change: [inaudible]
Speaker Change: Maybe I guess expectations for, you know, shots in arm versus the potential upside of, you know, having the additional badges qualified. Thanks.
Joseph Payne: Okay, so first with respect to the OTC question, we're definitely interested in collecting the safety and tolerability of the six, up to six doses that these, from this initial cohort in Europe. It would be great to see that it's safe and well tolerated up to six doses because this is a key precursor to allowing us to get access to younger, sicker patients. But we also want to get smarter on biomarkers. This is becoming more and more crucial for the OTC program.
Joseph Payne: Okay, so first with respect to the OTC question, we're definitely interested in collecting the safety and tolerability of the six, up to six doses that these patients take from this initial cohort in Europe. It would be great to see that it's safe and well tolerated at up to six doses because this is a key precursor to allowing us to get access to younger, sicker patients. But we also want to get smarter on biomarkers, as this is becoming more and more crucial for the OTC program.
Speaker Change: Okay, so first with respect to the OTC question, we're definitely interested in collecting the safety and tolerability of the six, up to six doses that these, from this initial cohort in Europe .
Speaker Change: It would be great to see that it's safe and well-tolerated, up to six doses, because this is a key precursor to allowing us to get access to younger, sicker patients.
Speaker Change: But we also want to get smarter on biomarkers. This is becoming more and more crucial for the OTC program. It's key that we design an efficient and pivotal trial.
Joseph Payne: It's key that we design an efficient and pivotal trial. And that efficient pivotal trial design is going to be closely associated with the biomarker strategy. So what we hope to at least start to initially get some understanding of on biomarkers with associated with this first batch of data.
Joseph Payne: It's key that we design an efficient and pivotal trial, and that efficient, pivotal trial design is going to be closely associated with the biomarker strategy. So we hope to at least start to initially get some understanding of the biomarkers associated with this first batch of data.
Speaker Change: And that efficient pivotal trial design is going to be closely associated with the biomarker strategy. So what we hope to at least start to initially get some understanding of on biomarkers associated with this first batch of data.
Joseph Payne: Moving on to your second question about recruitment in the U.S., well, we've just initiated that, the Phase 2 expansion or the additional Phase 2 trial in the U.S., so that's all we've said at this point. At a later time this year, at the quarterly calls, we will provide subsequent updates to give people an understanding of how we're doing with recruitment there. But one of the primary reasons we're focusing on OTC in the US is to gain access to these younger and more severe patients, right? We look forward to recruiting those people, but that update will come on the next call. With respect to... I think your third question was dealing with the Japanese market. Could you restate that for me?
Joseph Payne: Moving on to your second question about the recruitment in the US, well, we've just initiated that the Phase Two expansion or the additional Phase Two trial in the US. So that's all we've said at this point. At a later time this year, the quarterly calls, we will provide subsequent updates to give people an understanding of how we're doing with recruitment there. But one of the primary reasons we're focusing on OTC and the US is to gain access to these younger and more severe patients. So we look forward to recruiting those people. But that update will come on the next call.
Speaker Change: Moving on to your second question about the recruitment in the U.S.
Speaker Change: Well, we've just initiated the Phase II expansion or the additional Phase II trial in the U.S.
Speaker Change: That's all we've said at this point. At a later time this year, the quarterly calls we will provide.
Speaker Change: Subsequent updates to give people an understanding of how we're doing with recruitment there.
Speaker Change: But one of the primary reasons we're focusing on OTC in the U.S. is to gain access to these younger and more severe patients, right? So
Andy Sassine: We look forward to recruiting those people, but that update will come on the next call. With respect to, I think your third question was dealing with the Japanese market. Could you restate that for Andy?
Evan Wang: With respect to, I think your third question was dealing with the Japanese market. Could you restate that for Andy? Yeah, if you just remind us how you and your partners are thinking about the Japanese covered vaccination opportunity and anything you can share on, I guess maybe timing of the vaccination campaign pricing. Maybe helpful, thanks.
Unknown Attendee: Yeah, can you just remind us how you and your partners are thinking about the Japanese COVID vaccination opportunity? And anything you can share on, I guess, maybe the timing of the vaccination campaign, pricing? That'd be helpful. Thanks.
Speaker Change: Yeah, can you just remind us how you and your partners are thinking about the Japanese COVID vaccination opportunity? And anything you can share on, I guess, maybe timing of the vaccination campaign, pricing? That'd be helpful. Thanks.
Joseph Payne: Well, with respect to timing and pricing, that's Andy, but go ahead. Sure. Thank you, Evan. We're pretty excited about...
Andrew Sassine: Well, with respect to timing and pricing, that's Andy. But go ahead. Yeah. Sure. Thank you, Evan. We're pretty excited about the opportunity in Japan and working very closely with our partners, Meiji and CSL. On June 11th, just a few months ago, Mr. Kobayashi, the CEO of the Meiji Sega Farmer Operations, provided some guidance on how many vaccines they ordered from CSL, which was approximately 4 million doses. And they stated that the Japan market for COVID vaccine was about 20 million doses for the last year. So that hopefully gives you kind of a perspective of where it is.

Speaker Change: And they stated that, you know, the Japan market for COVID vaccine was about 20 million doses for the last year.
Andrew Sassine: And then they hope to increase orders to about 10 million doses next fiscal year, if everything is successful, you know, in the current fiscal year with respect to sale. They provided, you know, co-stay pricing guidance about 10,000 yen per dose. Obviously, with the volatility in the, you know, Japanese yen, it's going to be a little bit challenging to try to figure out the dollar equivalent. But it is a very, you know, reasonable and attractive price for all three parties involved. So we're excited. We're going to be shipping the vaccine, as we stated on the previous call to Meiji, you know, probably starting in what the beginning is Q4.

Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Myles Minter with William Blair. Please proceed with your question.
Myles Minter: Hi, everyone. Thanks for taking the questions. The first one's just on OTC, and it's back on enrollment. I know you're doing this at a single center in the US. I'm just very curious as to why you picked that single center to work with. And I'm wondering whether you do have a head start of at least some of the nine patients already been identified, or whether you're going into this relatively blind and recruiting from scratch.
Unknown Attendee: Hey everyone, thanks for taking the questions. The first one's just on OTC, and it's back on enrolment. I know you're doing this at a single center in the US. I'm just very curious as to why you picked that single center to work with, and I'm wondering whether you do have a head start with at least some of the nine patients already identified, or whether you're going into this, you know, relatively blind and recruiting from scratch.
Myles Minter: Hey everyone, thanks for taking my questions. The first one's just on OTC and it's back on enrolment.
Myles Minter: I know you're doing this at a single center in the U.S. I'm just very curious as to why you picked that single center to work with.
Myles Minter: And I'm wondering whether you do have a head start of at least, you know, some of the nine patients already being identified or whether you're going into this, you know, relatively blind and recruiting from scratch. That's the first one. And the second one.
Myles Minter: That's the first one. And the second one, maybe for you, Andy, is there's any update to the sale of the Carlos equity position in Japan because I know you've been working on that. Anything to update there. Thanks very much.
Unknown Attendee: That's the first one. And the second one, maybe for you Andy, is just any update on the sale of the Carlos Equity position in Japan, because I know you've been working on that. Anything to update there? Thanks very much.
Andy Sassine: Maybe for you Andy, is this any update to the sale of the Carlos Equity position in Japan because I know you've been working on that. Anything to update there? Thanks very much.
Joseph Payne: Sure. The site that we're working with is based in Washington, DC for OTC, but it's extremely well connected with the OTC community as a whole. So even though it's functionally one site, it's actually very well connected with community and other sites in the United States. And so we're going to be spending on them to help facilitate recruitment in terms of we'll be able to provide an update of where we are. We're optimistic that we can continue to recruit here in the US and get access to these younger, sicker patients.
Joseph Payne: Sure. The site that we're working with is based in Washington, DC for OTC, but it's extremely well connected with the OTC community as a whole. So even though it's functionally one site, it's actually very well connected with the community and other sites in the United States. And so we, you know, we're going to be depending on them to help facilitate recruitment in terms of, We'll be able to provide an update on where we are.
Speaker Change: Sure, the site that we're working with is based in Washington DC for OTC but it's extremely well connected with
Speaker Change: the OTC community as a whole. So even though it's functionally one site, it's actually very well connected with the community and other sites in the United States.
Speaker Change: And so we, you know, we're going to be depending on them to help facilitate recruitment. In terms of...
Joseph Payne: We're optimistic that we can continue to recruit here in the U.S. and get access to these younger, sicker patients. We look forward to providing an update on the next call. With respect to the Arcalis update, Andy, do you have something there? Sure, Myles, thanks for the question. We don't really have anything.
Speaker Change: We'll be able to provide an update of where we are. We're optimistic that we can continue to recruit here in the U.S. and get access to these younger, sicker patients. We look forward to providing an update on the next call.
Joseph Payne: We look forward to providing an update on the next call.
Andrew Sassine: It would respect to the our Carlos update. Andy, do you have something there? Sure. I'll thanks for the question. We don't really have, you know, an update on the strategic review engagement with JP Morgan Investment Bank at this point in time. The process is ongoing, and multiple parties are continuing to conduct due diligence in our data room. We will provide, you know, updates when appropriate, and hopefully that will answer your question.
Speaker Change: With respect to the Arcalis update, Andy, do you have something there?
Andrew Sassine: Sure, Myles, thanks for the question. We don't really have an update on the strategic review engagement with JPMorgan Investment Bank at this point in time. The process is ongoing, and multiple parties are continuing to conduct due diligence in our data room. We will provide updates when appropriate, and hopefully that will answer your question.
Andy Sassine: Sure, Myles, thanks for the question. We don't really have, you know, an update on the strategic review engagement with J.P. Morgan Investment Bank at this point in time. The process is ongoing and multiple parties are continuing to conduct due diligence in our data room.
Andy Sassine: We will provide updates when appropriate and hopefully that will answer your question.
Speaker Change: Thank you.
Unknown Executive: Thank you.
Operator: Our next question comes from the line of Yanan Zhu with Wells Fargo. Please proceed with your question.
Yanan Zhu: Our next question comes from the line of young zoo with Wells Fargo.
Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Yan Zhu with Wells Fargo. Please proceed with your question.
Yanan Zhu: Please proceed with your question. Great. Thanks for taking our questions.
Unknown Attendee: Great. Thanks for taking our questions. So on the Cystic Fibrosis Study enrollment criteria for this part of patients eligible for modulators but not prescribed modulators, could you talk about the characteristics of those patients? And also, do you expect this to be a substantial proportion of the enrollment for the study? on the COVID vaccine front, I was just wondering, could you give us an update on the progress in manufacturing of the four million doses ordered or to be ordered by Meiji?
Yanan Zhu: So on the cystic fibrosis study enrollment criteria for these, this part of patients eligible for modulators, but not prescribed modulators. Could you talk about the characteristics of those patients and also do you expect this to be a substantial proportion of the enrollment for the study?
Yanzu: Great. Thanks for taking our questions.
Yanzu: So, on the Cystic Fibrosis Study enrollment criteria for this part of patients eligible for modulators but not prescribed modulators, could you talk about the characteristics of those patients?
Speaker Change: And also, do you expect this to be a substantial proportion of the enrollment for the study?
Yanan Zhu: The COVID vaccine front, I was just wondering, could you give us an update on the progress in manufacturing of the four million doses ordered or to be ordered by Meiji? And lastly, on a call to prevent flu vaccine phase one study front, could you remind us of the timeline for readout and also what is considered a successful outcome for this study? What is the powerful success set by the conventional flu vaccines?
Speaker Change: On the COVID vaccine.
Speaker Change: Front. I was just wondering, could you give us an update on the progress in manufacturing of the 4 million doses ordered or to be ordered by Meiji?
Unknown Attendee: And lastly, on the quadrivalent flu vaccine, phase one study front, could you remind us of the timeline for readout? And also what is considered a successful outcome for this study? What is the bar for success set by the conventional flu vaccines?
Speaker Change: And lastly, on the quadrivalent flu vaccine phase one study front, could you remind us of the timeline for readout? And also, what...
Speaker Change: is considered a successful outcome for this study. What is the bar for success set by the conventional flu vaccines? Thank you.
Yanan Zhu: Thank you.
Yanan Zhu: Thank you, Yanan.
Joseph Payne: Thanks, Yanan. First of all, we are focusing on modulator ineligibles, which are typically Null patients, people that do not have any CFTR in their lungs, or they're also termed as Class 1 subjects. But there's, and that's approximately 8% of the CF community, but there is an additional 10% of the CF community that may be eligible for modulators, but they're not getting prescribed modulators. And there are many, many reasons for this.
Joseph Payne: Well, first of all, that we are focusing on modulator in eligible, which is typically the null patients, people that do not have any CFTR in their lungs, or they're also termed as class 1 subjects. But there's, and that's approximately 8% of the CF community, but there is an additional 10% of the CF community that may be eligible for modulators, but they're not getting prescribed modulators. And there are many, many reasons for this. It would be difficult to outline them on a call, but there's significant unmet medical need in this group. And so they will be accessing this trial potentially.
Speaker Change: Thanks, Yanan. Well, first of all, we are focusing on modulator ineligibles, which is typically...
Speaker Change: The Null patients, people that do not have any CFTR in their lungs, or they're also termed as Class 1 subjects.
Speaker Change: but there's and that's approximately 8% of the CF community but there is an additional 10% of the CF community that may be eligible for modulators but they're not getting prescribed modulators and there's many many reasons for this.
Joseph Payne: It would be difficult to outline them on a call, but there's significant unmet medical need in this group, and so they will be accessing, you know, this trial potentially. But the numbers that you're looking for are 8% are modulator ineligibles, and 10% of the CF community is not taking modulators for a variety of other reasons. So it's about half and half.
Speaker Change: It would be difficult to outline them on a call.
Speaker Change: But there's significant unmet medical need in this group
Joseph Payne: But the numbers that you're looking for is 8% or modulator in eligible is 10% of the CF community are not taking modulators for a variety of other reasons.
Speaker Change: You know, this trial potentially, but the numbers that you're looking for is 8% or modulator ineligibles and 10% of the CF community.
Speaker Change: are not taking modulators for a variety of other reasons. So, it's about half and half. Whether that will translate into recruitment for this Phase II trial is yet to be proven out.
Joseph Payne: So it's about half and half; whether that will translate into recruitment for this phase 2 trial is yet to be proven out, so we can't provide any guidance there. But it's all about addressing unmet medical need and working with the CF Foundation to do this, and that's where it is. It's in those two groups, at least in this initial Phase 2 trial.
Joseph Payne: Whether that will translate into recruitment for this Phase II trial is yet to be proven, so we can't provide any guidance there, but it's all about addressing unmet medical needs and working with the CF Foundation to do this, and that's where it is. It's in those two groups, at least in this initial phase two trial. With respect to the manufacturing update, we're on track, but I can defer to Andy on that for a moment.
Speaker Change: So, we can't provide any guidance there, but it's all about addressing unmet medical need and working with the CF Foundation to do this, and that's where it is. It's in those two groups, at least in this initial Phase 2 trial. With respect to the manufacturing update, we're on track.
Joseph Payne: With respect to the manufacturing update, we're on track, but I can defer to Andy for that in a moment. You also asked a question about the flu study. Now there's a growing number of successful mRNA flu vaccines, which is good to see. Their efficacy numbers are decent, very good. And, however, as a class, these conventional mRNA vaccines also have a potential liability with respect to persistence or durability. And that's where self-amplifying mRNA can come in, and we could potentially be a more durable vaccine.
Joseph Payne: You also asked a question about the flu study. Now, there are a growing number of successful mRNA flu vaccines, which is good to see. Their efficacy numbers are decent, very good, and, as a class, these conventional mRNA vaccines also have a potential liability with respect to persistence or durability. And that's where self-amplifying mRNA can come in, and it could potentially be a more durable vaccine. But the jury is still out, frankly, on the commercial strategy for the flu shot.
Speaker Change: But I can defer to Andy for that in a moment. You also asked a question about the...
Speaker Change: Now, there's a growing number of successful mRNA flu vaccines, which is good to see. Their efficacy numbers are decent, very good.
Andy Sassine: However, as a class, these conventional mRNA vaccines also have a potential liability with respect to persistence or durability, and that's where self-amplifying mRNA can come in and we could potentially be a more durable vaccine. But the jury is still out, frankly, on the commercial strategy for the flu shot. Do people want a longer-lasting flu shot?
Joseph Payne: But the jury is still out, frankly, on the commercial strategy for the flu shot. Do people want a longer lasting flu shot, or do they want a lower dose flu shot that's less reactogenic? And that's a question for CSL, ultimately, to answer. We're in a position to provide both of those products to support those commercial strategies.
Joseph Payne: Do people want a longer lasting flu shot or do they want a lower dose flu shot that's less reactogenic? and that's a question for CSL ultimately to answer. We're in a position to provide both of those products to support those commercial strategies and with respect to guidance we're under you know fairly strict restrictions to to provide guidance on what their commercial strategy is but that's where the ongoing conversation is and that's the opportunity for us to step in to to help contribute to the to the you know the the flu shot arena but Andy back to you on the menu I think you were just I just wanted to clarify Yanan you're just asking if manufacturing is update for the four million doses or something like that in Japan is that what you wanted clarity on?
Andy Sassine: or do they want a lower dose flu shot that's less reactogenic?
Speaker Change: And that's a question for CSL ultimately to answer.
Andy Sassine: We're in a position to provide both of those.
Andrew Sassine: And with respect to guidance, we're under fairly strict restrictions to provide guidance on what their commercial strategy is. But that's where the ongoing conversation is, and that's the opportunity for us to step in to help contribute to the flu shot arena.
Andy Sassine: products to support those commercial strategies. And with respect to guidance, we're under
Andy Sassine: you know, fairly strict restrictions to provide guidance on what their commercial strategy is. But that's where the ongoing conversation is. And that's the opportunity for us to step in to to help contribute to the, to the, you know, the foo shot arena.
Andrew Sassine: But Andy, back to you on the menu, I think you were just, I just wanted to clarify, and you were just asking if manufacturing is update for the 4 million doses or something like that in Japan. Is that what you wanted clarity on? Yeah, any progress on the manufacturing of those funding doses? Thanks.
Andy Sassine: But Andy, back to you on the manufacturing. I think you were just, I just wanted to clarify, Yanan, you were just asking if manufacturing is up to date for the 4 million doses or something like that in Japan. Is that what you wanted clarity on?
Unknown Attendee: Yeah. Any progress on the manufacturing of those four million doses? Thanks.
Speaker Change: Yeah, any progress on the manufacturing of those four million doses. Thanks. Sure, sure. We do have some good news. You know, Arcalis has successfully completed two GMP batches and is currently in the process of completing the final batch.
Andrew Sassine: Sure, sure. We do have some good news. You know, Arcalis has successfully completed two GMP batches and is currently in the process of completing the final batch. Upon completion, of course, Arcalis and Meiji will petition the PMDA for approval of their manufacturing plan, which would allow for commercial production. As we alluded to on the previous call, the first 4 million doses that were ordered by Meiji through CSL will be provided from our U.S. and European CDMOs.
Andrew Sassine: Sure. We do have some good news. You know, our callus has successfully completed two GMP batches, and it's currently in the process of completing the final batch upon completion. Of course, our callus and magi will petition the PMDA for approval of their manufacturing plant, you know, for commercial production. So, as we alluded to in the previous call, the first 4 million doses that was ordered by Magi through CSL will be provided from our US and European CDMOs. And of course, once our callus is qualified to deliver and produce commercial batches, that will give me, hopefully, the opportunity to provide additional orders directly made in Japan.
Speaker Change: Upon completion, of course, our Caliph and Meiji will petition the PMDA for approval.
Speaker Change: of their manufacturing plant, you know, for commercial production. So, as we alluded to on the previous call, the first 4 million doses that was ordered by MAGIE through CSL will be provided from our U.S. and European CDMOs.
Andrew Sassine: And of course, once Arcalis is qualified to, you know, deliver and produce commercial batches, that will give Meiji, hopefully, the opportunity to, you know, provide additional orders directly made in Japan. So we're cautiously optimistic at this point in time, but we still await, you know, the completion of the third GMP batch, and we'll certainly update the market upon that progress. Hopefully, that answered your question.
Speaker Change: And of course, once our callus is qualified to, you know, deliver and produce commercial batches.
Unknown Attendee: Got it. Very helpful.
Speaker Change: That will give Meiji, hopefully, the opportunity to, you know, provide additional orders, you know, directly made in Japan.
Andrew Sassine: So we're cautious with optimistic at this point in time, but we still await the completion of the 3rd GMP batch, and we'll certainly update the market upon that progress. Hopefully, that answered your question.
Speaker Change: We're cautiously optimistic at this point in time, but, you know, we still await, you know, the completion of the third GMP batch and we'll certainly update the market upon that, you know, progress. Hopefully that answered your question.
Speaker Change: Got it. Very helpful. Thank you.
Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of EGAL Nova Mode 6 with Citigroup. Please proceed with your question.
Yigal Nochomovitz: Our next question comes from the line of Yigal Nochomovitz with Citigroup. Please proceed with your question. Yeah, hi, thanks.
Speaker Change: Thank you for watching.
Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Yigal Novomodsic with Citigroup. Please proceed with your question.
Unknown Attendee: Yeah, hi, thanks. Could you give a bit more color on how you plan to recognize the revenue for CoStabe? Is it going to be when it's ordered by CSL or when it's manufactured at Arctalis or at the CDMO, as you referenced, Andy? Or is it only when it's actually shipped out to the Japanese government, to the clinics?
Yigal Nochomovitz: Could you give a bit more color on how you plan to recognize the revenue for Coast Tape? Is it going to be when it's ordered by CSL? Or when it's manufactured, or at the CDMO, as you referenced, Andy, or is it only when it's actually shipped out to the Japanese government to the clinics? Sure. Thanks for the question.
Speaker Change: Yeah, hi, thanks.
Speaker Change: Could you give a bit more color on how you plan to recognize the revenue for CoState?
Speaker Change: Is it going to be when it's ordered by CSL, or when it's manufactured at Arctalis, or at the CDMO, as you referenced, Andy? Or is it only when it's actually shipped out to the Japanese government, to the clinics?
Andrew Sassine: Sure. Thanks for the question.
Andrew Sassine: We typically don't provide guidance with respect to sales and how we're going to record them, but I did on the previous call due to the fact that we would qualify for a commercial milestone with the delivery of the vaccine to Japan and the first sale. So we'll certainly provide more color around that milestone when it is achieved, earned, and reported in our financial results. And with respect to the opportunity to record revenue, that's really going to depend on many successfully selling those doses in Japan. And so once they do sell them, and they'll report the sales to CSL, and they'll determine the appropriate allocation for CSL, a tourist in May, and with respect to the profit.
Speaker Change: Sure, thanks for the question.
Speaker Change: We typically, you know, don't provide guidance with respect to sales and how we're going to record them, but...
Andrew Sassine: We typically, you know, don't provide guidance with respect to sales and how we're going to record them, but I did on the previous call allude to the fact that we would, you know, qualify for a commercial milestone with the delivery of the vaccine, you know, to Japan in the first sale. So we'll certainly provide more color around that milestone when it is achieved, earned, and reported in our financial results.
Speaker Change: I did on the previous call allude to the fact that we would, you know, qualify for a commercial milestone with the delivery of the vaccine, you know, to Japan in the first sale.
Speaker Change: So, we'll certainly provide more color around that milestone when it is, you know, achieved and earned and reported in our financial results.
Andrew Sassine: And with respect to the opportunity to record revenue, that's really going to depend on Meiji successfully selling those doses in Japan. And so once they do sell them, they'll report the sales to CSL, and they'll determine the appropriate allocation for CSL, Arcturus, and Meiji with respect to the profit split. And then at that point in time, we'll be able to record the revenues, you know, when appropriate. So, you know, we don't really have any color at this point in time.
Speaker Change: And with respect to the opportunity to record revenue, that's really going to depend on Meiji successfully selling.
Speaker Change: Those doses in Japan and so once they do sell them and they'll report the sales to CSL
Speaker Change: and they'll determine the appropriate allocation for CSL, Arcturus, and MAGIE.
Andrew Sassine: And then, at that point in time, we'll be able to record the revenue when appropriate. So, you know, we don't really have any color at this point in time that's going to depend on May G sell-through, but obviously they're highly motivated and, you know, eager to get the process and, you know, on the road. They're very successful in number one rated in flu vaccines in Japan. So we have the right commercial partner for this strategy. And certainly, maybe you had been talking about the opportunity to recognize revenues and sale on their recent conference call. And so we're encouraged.
Speaker Change: With respect to the profit split and then at that point in time, we'll be able to record
Speaker Change: The revenues, you know, when appropriate, so.
Andrew Sassine: It's going to depend on Meiji sell-through. But obviously, they're highly motivated and, you know, eager to get the process and, you know, on the road. They're very successful and number one rated in flu vaccines in Japan, so we have the right commercial partner for this strategy. And certainly, Meiji has been talking about the opportunity to recognize revenues and sales on their, you know, recent conference call. And so, we're encouraged. And, you know, if appropriate, I think, you know, there's a few people on our team that would probably be delighted to fly over to Japan and get our own vaccine as well, if we can call it that. Hopefully, that answers your question.
Speaker Change: You know, we don't really have any color at this point in time. It's going to depend on Meiji's sell-through.
Speaker Change: but obviously they're highly motivated and you know eager to get the process and you know on the road they're very successful and number one rated in flu vaccines in Japan so we have the right commercial partner for this.
Speaker Change: Strategy, and certainly Meiji has been talking.
Speaker Change: about the opportunity to recognize revenues and sales on their, you know, recent conference call.
Andrew Sassine: And, you know, if appropriate, I think, you know, there's a few people from our team that would probably be delighted to fly over to Japan and get our own vaccine as well, if we can qualify. Hopefully, that answered your question. Okay. Thanks.
Speaker Change: And so, we're encouraged, and...
Speaker Change: You know, if appropriate, I think, you know, there's a few people from our team that would probably be delighted to fly over to Japan and get our own vaccine as well, if we can qualify.
Unknown Attendee: Okay, thanks. And of the 4 million doses that have been ordered, is there any way to have a sense as to, you know, what percent of those are actually going to be converted to sales in the fourth quarter of this year by CSL?
Speaker Change: Hopefully that answers your question.
Andrew Sassine: And of the 4 million doses that have been ordered, is there any way to have a sense as to what percent of those are actually going to be converted to sales in the fourth quarter of this year by CSL? Yeah, I wish I could tell you, you know, more specifically. The problem, though, is that May G will be responsible for the commercialization of that. And so, if you assume that we deliver the vaccines in the fourth quarter and may G has a successful, you know, opportunity to sell them in the fourth quarter and assume the first quarter of the following year.
Speaker Change: Okay, thanks. And of the 4 million doses that have been ordered, is there any way to have a sense as to, you know, what percent of those are actually going to be converted to sales in the fourth quarter of this year by CSL?
Andrew Sassine: I wish I could tell you, you know, more specifically. The problem, though, is that MAGIE will be responsible for the commercialization of that. And so if you assume that we deliver the vaccines in the fourth quarter and MAGIE has a successful, you know, opportunity to sell them in the fourth quarter and assume the first quarter of the following year, then, you know, that by the time they, you know, determine the price and net of whatever, you know, fees they have to pay and commission, then they'll report that, you know, result to CSL who will then determine the profit breakout among, you know, all three parties.
Speaker Change: Yeah, I wish I could tell you, you know, more specifically the problem, though, that made you will be responsible for the commercialization of that.
Speaker Change: And so, if you assume that we deliver the vaccines in the fourth quarter and MAGIE has a successful, you know, opportunity to sell them in the fourth quarter and assume the first quarter.
Andrew Sassine: Then, you know, by the time they, you know, determine the price and net of whatever, you know, see they have to pay in commission. Then they'll report that, you know, result to CSL, who will then determine the profit breakout among, you know, all three parties. So it is not a, you know, it is a straightforward process, but does take time. And, you know, we're certainly encouraged by the opportunity and the partnership that we have.
Speaker Change: of the following year, then, you know, by the time they, you know, determine the price and net of whatever, you know, fee they have to pay in commission.
Speaker Change: Then they'll report that, you know, result to CSL who will then determine the profit breakout among, you know, all three parties.
Andrew Sassine: So it is not a, you know, it is a straightforward process but does take time. And, you know, we're certainly encouraged by the opportunity and the partnership that we have. So please stay tuned, and hopefully we'll be able to provide more color around the fourth quarter.
Speaker Change: It is not a, you know, it is a straightforward process, but it does take time and, you know, we're certainly encouraged by, you know, the opportunity and the partnership that we have. So please stay tuned and hopefully we'll be able to provide more color, you know, around the fourth quarter.
Andrew Sassine: So please stay tuned, and hopefully we'll be able to provide more color, you know, out of the quarter.
Andrew Sassine: Can you provide any census order magnitude of the milestone for delivering the vaccine to CSL in the fourth quarter? You know, we hesitate to provide specific guidance, but we did say that we will actually earn a milestone. So we are excited to provide that forward looking statement. And I think, you know, in the fourth quarter, we'll be able to share more specifically, you know, the amount and, you know, the opportunity it'll have with respect to, you know, our guidance. So please stay tuned, and we're not that far away.
Unknown Attendee: Can you provide any census data to order the magnitude of the milestone for delivering the vaccine to CSL in the fourth quarter?
Speaker Change: Can you provide any census to order magnitude of the milestone for delivering the vaccine to CSL in the fourth quarter?
Andrew Sassine: You know, we hesitate to provide specific guidance, but we did say that we would actually achieve a milestone. So we are, you know, excited to provide that, you know, forward-looking statement. And I think, you know, in the fourth quarter, we'll be able to share more specifically the amount and, you know, the opportunity it'll have with respect to, you know, our guidance. So please stay tuned. We're not that far away.
Speaker Change: You know, we hesitate to provide specific guidance, but we did say that we will actually, you know, earn a milestone, so we are, you know, excited to provide that, you know, forward-looking statement.
Speaker Change: And I think, you know, in the fourth quarter, we'll be able to share more specifically, you know, the amount and, you know, the, the opportunity it'll have with respect to, you know, our, our guidance. So please stay tuned. We're not that far away.
Unknown Attendee: Okay. Thank you, Andy.
Samantha Schaefer: Okay, thank you, Andrew. Thank you.
Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Pete Stavropoulos with Cantor Fitzgerald. Please proceed with your question.
Andy Sassine: Okay. Thank you, Andrew.
Samantha Schaefer: Our next question comes from the line of Pete Stavropoulos with Cantor Fitzgerald. Please proceed with your question.
Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Pete Stavropoulos with Cantor Fitzgerald. Please proceed with your question.
Joseph Payne: Hi, this is Samantha Schaefer on the line for Pete. Thanks for taking our question. So the O32 data shows that the two doses were well tolerated, with no major safety signals. Does this safety profile give you confidence to advance O32 into other indications with an inhaled formulation? And how are you thinking about next potential programs such as other rare diseases or an inhaled vaccine? And final question, does your partner CSL have access to inhaled formulations for vaccine candidates, or do they solely focus on injection-based formulations? Thanks so much. That's a good question, Samantha. Yes, the phase one and phase one B data definitely gives us a lot of positive confidence to continue to grow and expand the platform and lung.
Unknown Attendee: Hi, this is Samantha Schaefer on the line for Pete. Thanks for taking our question. So, the O3-2 data shows that the two doses were well tolerated with no major safety signals. Does this safety profile give you confidence to advance O3-2 into other indications with an inhaled formulation? And how are you thinking about next potential programs, such as other rare diseases or an inhaled vaccine? And final question, does your partner CSL have access to inhaled formulations for vaccine candidates, or do they solely focus on injection-based formulations? Thanks so much. That's a good question, Samantha. Yes,
Samantha Schaefer: Hi, this is Samantha Schaefer on the line for Pete. Thanks for taking our question. So the O3-2 data shows that the two doses were well tolerated with no major safety signals. Does this safety profile give you confidence to advance O3-2 into other indications with an inhaled formulation? And how are you thinking about next potential programs such as other rare diseases or an inhaled vaccine? And final question, does your partner CSL have access to inhaled formulations for vaccine candidates, or do they solely focus on injection-based formulations? Thanks so much.
Joseph Payne: That's a good question, Samantha. Yes, the Phase 1 and Phase 1B data definitely gives us a lot of positive confidence to continue to grow and expand the platform in the lung. Because traditionally, one of the biggest issues, if not the biggest issue in the lung, is toxicology, right? So navigating our way through that with not just a single administration but with two administrations, it does give us more confidence that we can continue to grow the lung franchise.
Speaker Change: That's a good question, Samantha. Yes, the Phase 1 and Phase 1B data definitely
Speaker Change: gives us a lot of positive confidence to
Speaker Change: continue to grow and expand the platform in the lung. Because traditionally, one of the biggest issues, if not the biggest issue in the lung is toxicology.
Joseph Payne: Because traditionally, one of the biggest issues, if not the biggest issue in the longest toxicology, right? So if by navigating our way through that with not just a single administration, but with two administrations, it does give us more confidence that we can continue to grow the lung franchise. Now, before we allocate real hard money to it, I think it'll be prudent for us to see some efficacy readouts that's relatively short coming here with the space to trial. But yeah, as a whole, it does provide us some additional confidence in the platform. With respect to the application of inhaled mRNA, therapeutics, or vaccines, it's unlikely that we will apply that to the CSL collaborative.
Speaker Change: Right, so if by navigating our way through that with not just a single administration but with two administrations.
Speaker Change: It does give us more confidence that we can...
Joseph Payne: Now, before we allocate real hard money to it, I think it'll be prudent for us to see some efficacy readout that's relatively lacking here with this phase two trial. But yeah, as a whole, it does give us some additional confidence in the platform.
Speaker Change: continue to grow the lung franchise. Now, before we allocate real hard money to it, I think it'll be prudent for us to see some efficacy readout that's relatively shortcoming here with this phase two trial. But yeah,
Joseph Payne: With respect to the application of inhaled mRNA therapeutics or vaccines, it's unlikely that we will apply that to the CSL collaboration because it's limited in scope to just five targets. And we've already validated the intramuscular administration for use. And so there are only so many targets, and so there are only so many things you can do with that. So it's very unlikely that we'll do an inhaled vaccine with CSL, but we have that flexibility to do that on our own at some point in the future, for sure.
Speaker Change: As a whole, it does provide us some additional confidence in the platform.
Speaker Change: With respect to the
Speaker Change: The application of inhaled mRNA therapeutics or vaccines, it's unlikely that we will apply that to the CSL collaboration. It's limited in scope to just five targets, and we've already validated the intramuscular
Joseph Payne: So, in the preparation, it's limited in scope to just five targets. And we've already validated the interim muscular administration for use. And so there's only so many targets, and so only so many things you can do with that. So it's very unlikely that we'll do an inhaled vaccine with CSL.
Speaker Change: Administration for use and so there's only so many targets and so only so many things you can do with with that so it's very unlikely that we'll
Joseph Payne: But we have that flexibility to do that on our own at some point in the future, for sure.
Speaker Change: We'll do an inhaled vaccine with CSL, but we have that flexibility to do that on our own at some point in the future for sure.

Speaker Change #100: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Ed Arce with HC Wainwright. Please proceed with your question.
Unknown Attendee: Great, thanks for taking my questions and congratulations on the progress. I think some of my questions around COSTAVE have been answered, but I want to ask something about the therapeutics portfolio. [inaudible] 032, There's been a lot of discussion about this, and perhaps this is a bit premature, but just wondering if there is any potential timeline for at least preliminary or interim data from phase two. And then with 810, I recognize that this fourth-quarter readout is an interim, and just so looking for specifics around the data that you expect, and more specifically, what would you view as the bar for success on that readout Thanks so much.
Joseph Payne: Thanks for taking my questions, and congrats on the progress. I think some of my questions around co-stave have been answered, but I just want to ask, turning to the therapeutics portfolio first on 032, a lot of discussion there when perhaps this is a bit premature, but just wondering if there is any potential timeline to at least preliminary or interim data from that phase two. And then with 810, I recognize that this fourth quarter readout is an interim, and just looking for specifics around the data that you expect, and more specifically, what would you view as the bar for success on that readout as you continue the study towards full results?
Ed Arce: Great, thanks for taking my questions and congrats on the progress.

Speaker Change #103: What would you view as the bar for success on that readout as you continue the study towards full results? Thanks so much.
Joseph Payne: Thanks so much. Sure, sure. With respect to the 032 timeline, it's as soon as possible. That is such a strategically important therapeutic for Arcturus. It has an extraordinary value upside if we establish proof of concept, not only for the asset, but for the platform. So we're ASAP; we haven't given specific guidance as to when the data will be forthcoming. We need to get approval to proceed and get the sites on board, and then determine the pace of recruitment thereafter. So, at each of these quarterly calls, we'll be able to provide some more detailed or more granularity on timeline.

Joseph Payne: So on each of these quarterly calls, we'll be able to provide some more detail or more granularity on the timeline. But rest assured, it is a very important program for Arcturus strategically, so we want to get it done as soon as possible. With respect to the 810 interim data, it is the first complete cohort out of Europe. It is 8 folks.

Joseph Payne: But rest assured, it is a very important program for Arcturus strategically. So we want to get it done as soon as possible. With respect to the 810 in-term data, it is the first complete cohort out of Europe. It is eight folks, and we discuss this a little bit with a previous question, but just to emphasize that the safety and tolerability of up to six administrations for injectable mRNAs is a substantial hurdle. So just by getting that completed, it allows us to open up regulatory conversations into the younger children, and a lot of these rare diseases are pediatric in nature.

Speaker Change #104: open up regulatory conversations into the younger children and
Joseph Payne: And so I think that that's a very meaningful data set. Now whether Wall Street appreciates the RNA is another question, but internally that's very important for us to gain access to sicker and younger patients in general. And the biomarker strategy, just to re-emphasize that, in OTC, an efficient pivotal trial is going to be leaning significantly on the biomarker strategy. It can be shorter and leaner and faster if we have the first smart about biomarkers. So getting smarter is what we want to do with we're measuring a lot of biomarkers in this group of eight out of Europe, and we just want to understand which ones to focus on, which ones can really drive a pivotal trial design.
Speaker Change #104: A lot of these rare diseases are pediatric in nature, and so I think that's a very meaningful data set. Now whether Wall Street appreciates it or not is another question, but internally that's very important for us to gain access to sicker and younger patients in general.

EdRs: Thanks, Ed. Great. Thanks, Joe.
Unknown Attendee: Great, thanks, Joe. Actually, following up on that, I meant to ask about those biomarkers. Not sure if some or all of those are on ClinTrials or not, but any take on
Joseph Payne: Actually, following up on that, I meant to ask about those biomarkers. I'm not sure if some or all of those are on clinical trials or not, but any take on what are the ones that you're particularly interested in that would be key to sort of moving forward from an X. C, Perspective. Yeah, the challenge here. Ammonia is the easiest biomarker measure; unfortunately, in the advanced disease area. Those that are in serious or severe disease, they're all on ammonia scavengers, which complicates the measurement of ammonia as a biomarker. So this is where the strategy is key.
Speaker Change #105: Thanks Ed.
Speaker Change #106: Great. Thanks, Joe. Actually, following up on that, I meant to ask about those biomarkers. I'm not sure if some or all of those are on ClinTrials or not, but any take on
Speaker Change #107: You know, what are the ones that you're particularly interested in that would be key to sort of moving forward from an efficacy perspective?
Joseph Payne: Yeah, the challenge here is ammonia, which is the easiest biomarker to measure. Unfortunately, in the advanced disease area, those that are in serious or severe disease, they're all on ammonia scavengers, which complicates the measurement of ammonia as a biomarker. So this is where the strategy is key.
Speaker Change #108: Yeah, the challenge here, ammonia is the easiest biomarker to measure, unfortunately, in the
Speaker Change #109: advanced disease area, those that are in serious or severe disease, they're all on ammonia scavengers, which complicates the measurement of ammonia as a biomarker. So this is where the strategy
Joseph Payne: We need to identify a biomarker in folks that are on ammonia scavengers. So we are looking at other amino acids that are implicated in the urea cycle that include a made, for example. But we also are looking at OTC itself, and we're looking at urea genesis. This is a urea cycle disorder. So the genesis or generation of urea can be tracked and measured. So we're looking at ways to do that. But the overarching statement here is we want to get smarter at looking at these biomarkers, and in the urine, you can look at erotic acid as well.
Joseph Payne: We need to identify a biomarker in folks that are on ammonia scavengers, you know, glutamate, for example. But we also are looking at OTC itself, and we're looking at urea genesis, so that the genesis or generation of urea can be tracked and measured.
Speaker Change #109: is key. We need to identify a biomarker in folks that are on ammonia scavengers. So we are looking at other amino acids that are implicated in the urea cycle that include

Joseph Payne: So we're looking at ways to do that. But the overarching statement here is we wanna get smarter at looking at these biomarkers. And in the urine, you can look at erotic acid as well. So there's lots that we're gonna be collecting, but we just wanna get smarter and figure out what we can apply more in a targeted way, especially with this U.S. expansion into sicker and younger people. OTC subjects.
Speaker Change #109: So, so we're
Speaker Change #109: The overarching statement here is that we want to get smarter at looking at these biomarkers. In the urine, you can look at erotic acid as well.
Joseph Payne: So there's lots that we're going to be collecting, but we just want to get smarter and figure out what we can apply more in a targeted way, especially with this US expansion into a sicker and younger OTC subjects.
Speaker Change #109: So, there's lots that we're going to be collecting, but we just want to get smarter and figure out what we can apply more in a targeted way, especially with this U.S. expansion into sicker and younger patients.

Speaker Change #109: Thanks.
Speaker Change #109: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Yale Gen with Laidlaw and Company. Please proceed with your question.
Yale Gen: Please proceed with your question. Thanks for taking the questions. We've got two here. The first one is that for the oncron SVB 2303 vaccine, you have complete, you know, completing that. So when should we anticipate the offline readout, and the follow-up on that particular one is that what might be the next move? I know you want to put US and other global applications, but what any specific moves that could you might be able to share at this point? Yeah. So the 2303 study is completed enrollment, and the meaningful aspect of that study is the fact that our platform is getting experience and multiple ethnicities.
Unknown Attendee: Thanks for taking the questions. We've got two here.
Unknown Attendee: The first one is that for the Omicron SVD2303 vaccine, you have completed that. So when should we anticipate a top-line readout? And a little bit of follow-up on that particular one is that what might be the next moves? I know you want to put US and other global applications, but what are any specific moves that you might be able to share at this? You're gonna have to...
Yale Gen: Thanks for taking the questions. We've got two here.
Yale Gen: The first one is for the Omicron SVD.
Yale Gen: 23.03 vaccine, you are completing that. So when we should anticipate a top-line readout?
Speaker Change #111: And to follow up on that particular one is that what might be the next moves, I know you want to, for the U.S. and other global applications, but any specific moves that could, you might be able to share at this point?
Joseph Payne: Yeah, so the 2303 study has completed enrollment, and the meaningful aspect of that study is the fact that our platform is getting experience in multiple ethnicities, and this will support regulatory applications globally, not just in the U.S. So it's, you know, that's the primary strategic role of that.
Speaker Change #111: [inaudible]
Speaker Change #111: Yeah, so the 2303 study is completed enrollment.
Speaker Change #112: and the meaningful aspect of that study is the fact that our platform is getting experience in multiple ethnicities and this will support regulatory applications globally, not just the U.S.
Joseph Payne: And this will support regulatory applications globally, not just the US. So it's, you know, that's the primary strategic role of that. So whether we share that data or not is uncertain. Again, this is licensed. This is a licensed program to CSL, and they'll ultimately be deciding what gets shared publicly. But that's the purpose of it. And it's completed, and that data will be, you know, coming in throughout the remainder of this year. But it is intended again to support regulatory conversations and regulatory filings and marketing authorization applications, et cetera, for not only Co-Stay, but subsequent products that utilize this platform.
Speaker Change #112: So it's
Joseph Payne: So whether we share that data or not is uncertain. Again, this is a licensed program to CSL, and they'll ultimately be deciding what gets shared publicly, but that's the purpose of it, and it's completed, and that data will be coming in throughout the remainder of this year. But it is intended, again, to support regulatory conversations and regulatory filings and marketing authorization applications, etc., for not only CoState but subsequent products that And then you said you had yet another question. Well, yes. Go ahead. Yes, I have one more question here, which is Macy has a file for changing the adjustment for the vaccine to the Japanese military authority. Do we know any?
Speaker Change #112: That's the primary strategic role of that. So whether we share that data or not is...
Speaker Change #112: is uncertain. Again, this is a licensed program to CSL and they'll ultimately be deciding.
Speaker Change #112: What gets shared publicly, but that's the purpose of it, and it's completed, and that data will be, you know, coming in throughout the remainder of this year, but it is intended again to support regulatory conversations and regulatory filings.
Speaker Change #112: Marketing Authorization Applications, etc. for not only CoState but subsequent products that utilize this platform.
Joseph Payne: And then you said you had another question. Well, yes. Yes, we'll ask one more question here, which is, maybe she has files for changing the first adjustments for the vaccine to the Japanese authority. Do we know any? Timeline or projected timeline in terms of the agency will approve that changes to the June 1 vaccine, Joseph Payne. Yeah, the timeline for approval is suitable for us to launch and market this year. And it's in line with the other approved vaccines. So now that we haven't approved the platform, it's nice that we can piggyback those that are already approved.
Speaker Change #113: And then you said you had yet another question. Go ahead. Yes. We have one more question here, which is Macy has filed for changing the adjustment for the vaccine to the Japanese military authority. Do we know anything?
Unknown Attendee: Timeline or projected timeline in terms of the agency will approve the changes to the JN.1 vaccine. Yeah, the timeline for approval is suitable for us to launch and market this this year, and it's in line with the other approved vaccines. So now that we have an approved platform, it's nice that we can piggyback on those that are already approved, and they usually funnel all of these together through the same process of approval for the updated JN1 variant, for example. So very similar timelines are even identical in some cases to the competitors in the space. But it's suitable for us to market it and launch it successfully this year.
Speaker Change #114: I'm going to go through the timeline or projected timeline in terms of the agency will approve that changes to the JN1 vaccine. I'll just explain.
Speaker Change #115: Yeah, the timeline for approval is suitable for us to launch and market this this year.
Speaker Change #115: And it's in line with the other approved vaccines.
Speaker Change #115: So, now that we have an approved platform, it's nice that we can piggyback.
Joseph Payne: And they usually funnel all of these together through the same process of approval for the updated JN1 variant, for example. So very similar timelines are even identical in some cases to the competitors in the space, but it's suitable for us to market it and launch it successfully this year.
Speaker Change #115: Those that are already approved and they usually funnel all of these together through the same process.
Speaker Change #115: of approval for the updated JN1 variant, for example.
Speaker Change #115: So, very similar timelines, or even identical in some cases to the competitors in the space, but it's suitable for us to market it and launch it successfully this year.
