Item 8.01. Other Events

On January 7, 2021, Dynavax Technologies Corporation (the "Company") announced final immunogenicity and interim safety results from an ongoing clinical trial evaluating HEPLISAV-B in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

In the trial, four doses of HEPLISAV-B induced a seroprotection rate of 89.3 percent at week 20, with high anti-HBs antibodies. Interim safety data showed HEPLISAV-B is well tolerated and no safety concerns were observed. Half of the participants had anti-HBs concentrations ? 1000 mIU/mL.

The study had 119 patients enrolled. It is expected that the last patient visit will be in September 2021. Final safety data is expected to be available by the end of the year. The safety and effectiveness of HEPLISAV-B in adults on hemodialysis have not been established.
