Research and development expenses for the third quarter 2024 were $20.2 million, compared to $27.3 for the third quarter 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower clinical development costs.

Other income for the third quarter 2024 was $0.6 million, compared to $2.1 million for the third quarter 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by interest expense incurred on the repayment of the term loan facility during the third quarter of 2024.

About HilleVax

HilleVax is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing novel vaccines.

Globally, norovirus is estimated to result in over approximately 700 million cases of AGE and 200,000 deaths per year, resulting in over $4 billion in direct health system costs and $60 billion in societal costs per year.
