HilleVax Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results and Highlights Recent Company Progress

BOSTON, Nov. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HilleVax, Inc. (Nasdaq: HLVX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing novel vaccines, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, highlighted recent program progress, and outlined key upcoming milestones for HIL-214, the company’s investigational virus-like particle (VLP) based vaccine for the prevention of moderate-to-severe norovirus-related acute gastroenteritis.

“Following completion of the 200 subject run-in, we began enrollment of the remaining 2,800 subjects in our Phase 2b NEST-IN1 clinical trial during the third quarter and remain on-track for topline safety and efficacy data from the full clinical trial in the second half of 2023,” said Rob Hershberg, MD, PhD, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of HilleVax. “We look forward to announcing immunogenicity results from the first 200 subjects later this quarter and continued progress to topline safety and efficacy data in our NEST-IN1 clinical trial.”

Third Quarter 2022 and Recent Business Highlights

  • In August 2022, HilleVax announced the positive recommendation by the data safety monitoring committee to continue enrollment of the remaining 2,800 subjects in the company’s Phase 2b NEST-IN1 clinical trial after the evaluation of safety data from the prespecified 200 subject run-in.

  • In August 2022, HilleVax announced the acceleration of reporting of immunogenicity results from the first 200 subjects in NEST-IN1 to the fourth quarter of 2022 from the first half of 2023.

  • In July 2022, HilleVax announced results from a 5-year Phase 2 follow-up clinical trial supporting the long-term immunogenicity of HIL-214.

Upcoming Expected Milestones

  • Interim immunogenicity results from the first 200 subjects enrolled in NEST-IN1 in the fourth quarter of 2022.

  • Topline safety and clinical efficacy data from NEST-IN1 in the second half of 2023.
