Q & A Highlights

Q: Could you provide any additional color on the treatment EUA for PEMGARDA, and what would give you confidence in providing guidance again? A: Marc Elia, Independent Chairman of the Board, explained that they are updating the EUA application and have not received explicit feedback from the FDA yet. Confidence in guidance would depend on consistent revenue growth and expense management. Tim Lee, Chief Commercial Officer, added that recent trends and growth activities are promising.

Q: On revenue, are we talking about significant stepwise increases month-over-month or modest growth? How does that change in the first quarter and the second quarter? A: Marc Elia noted that while COVID-19 is not seasonal, the company is early in its growth, so seasonality effects are not yet a concern. Tim Lee emphasized that their focus is on serving immunocompromised individuals, whose needs are not seasonal, and they are working to increase access and utilization.

Q: What is the commercial value of the inventory on the balance sheet? A: Marc Elia stated that Invivyd has produced inventory worth hundreds of millions in revenue terms. William Duke, CFO, added that the discrepancy between market value and balance sheet value is due to expensed costs prior to EUA.

Q: How do you engineer a more potent or next-generation formula of PEMGARDA? A: Marc Elia explained that they use a combinatorial library to enhance antibody potency against spike protein. Robert Allen, Chief Scientific Officer, added that they constantly update their knowledge to maintain antibody activity against current and future variants.

Q: Regarding VYD2311, would there be a need for separate trials for treatment or prevention? A: Marc Elia mentioned that the treatment EUA application drew upon the same clinical data as the PrEP authorization. They are assessing safety and pharmacokinetics and will discuss data with the FDA to determine the path forward.
