“We enter the second half of 2023 with a strong financial position, on track to launch our new variant-adapted COVID-19 vaccine and to conduct multiple clinical trials with registrational potential across our oncology and infectious disease pipeline. The COVID-19 vaccine market remains highly dynamic and difficult to fully predict. Along with our partner Pfizer, the Company continues to focus on supporting successful vaccinations during the autumn respiratory infection season,” said Jens Holstein, CFO of BioNTech. ”It is our goal to become a multi-product company by investing in our own clinical programs and by complementing them with additional compounds from our partners. With some uncertainty on the revenue line, we are also carefully watching our spending by revisiting our cost base while remaining focused on executing against our strategic goals and providing value to the public and our shareholders.”
Outlook for the 2023 Financial Year
The Company reiterates its COVID-19 vaccine revenue guidance and updates its previous expense and capex guidance for the 2023 financial year:
BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine Revenues for the 2023 Financial Year:
| Estimated BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine revenues for the full 2023 financial year | ~ |
This estimate reflects expected revenues related to BioNTech’s share of gross profit from COVID-19 vaccine sales in the collaboration partners’ territories, from direct COVID-19 vaccine sales to customers in BioNTech’s territory and expected revenues generated from products manufactured by BioNTech and sold to collaboration partners, which may be influenced by costs such as inventory write-offs once materialized and shared with the collaboration partner Pfizer.
Revenue guidance is based on various assumptions, including, but not limited to, the expected transition from an advanced purchase agreement environment to commercial market ordering starting in some geographies and an expected regulatory recommendation to adapt the COVID-19 vaccines to address newly circulating variants or sublineages of SARS-CoV-2. While vaccine adaptation is expected to lead to increased demand, fewer primary vaccinations and lowered population-wide levels of boosting are anticipated. In addition, seasonal demand is assumed, moving expected revenue generation to the second half of the year 2023 as previously reported. The revenues guidance reflects the revenues as specified by the amendment of the contractual agreement with the EC on behalf of the member states while it largely remains dependent on revenues generated in BioNTech’s collaboration partner’s territories. The market dynamics for COVID-19 vaccines are influenced by various factors which underlie substantial uncertainties and might affect the demand for COVID-19 vaccines in general as well as the Company’s estimated revenues.

- In June, BioNTech and Pfizer submitted regulatory applications to the EMA and to the U.S. FDA for their Omicron XBB.1.5-adapted monovalent COVID-19 vaccine for individuals 6 months of age and older in line with recommendations from both regulatory agencies. Regulatory submissions in other territories have also been initiated.
- BioNTech and Pfizer have manufactured Omicron XBB.1.5-adapted monovalent COVID-19 vaccine doses at risk to ensure readiness ahead of the fall and winter seasons in various regions worldwide. The companies plan to prepare shipments of Omicron XBB.1.5-adapted monovalent COVID-19 vaccine doses for fast delivery following potential regulatory approval.
Oncology Pipeline Highlights - Recent and upcoming trial starts and data readouts
BNT316/ONC-392 (gotistobart) is a next-generation anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody candidate jointly developed by BioNTech and OncoC4, Inc. (“OncoC4”). BNT316/ONC-392 offers a potentially differentiated safety profile that may allow for higher dosing and longer duration of treatment both as a monotherapy and in combination with other therapies.
- In June, BioNTech and OncoC4 initiated a Phase 3 clinical trial (NCT05671510) to evaluate BNT316/ONC-392 as monotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients whose disease progressed on anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody-based therapy. The program received Fast Track Designation from the FDA in 2022.
- Data from a dose escalation and an expansion cohort evaluating BNT316/ONC-392 as monotherapy in NSCLC patients that had progressed on prior immune-checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy as part of the ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT04140526) were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in June 2023. BNT316/ONC-392 was generally well-tolerated with a manageable safety profile. Early readout of the expansion cohort showed encouraging clinical activity in patients with ICI-resistant NSCLC.
BNT323/DB-1303 is a HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) candidate, being developed in collaboration with Duality Biologics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. (“DualityBio”).
- BNT323/DB-1303 is being evaluated in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT05150691) in patients with advanced/unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic HER2-expressing solid tumors. Data from the ongoing trial were presented at the 2023 ASCO Annual Meeting suggesting that BNT323/DB-1303 was well tolerated and adverse events (AEs) were manageable. Preliminary antitumor activity was observed in heavily pretreated HER2-expressing patients with a median of seven prior systemic treatment regimens, including other HER2 ADCs.
BNT324/DB-1311 is a topoisomerase-1 inhibitor-based ADC candidate being developed in collaboration with DualityBio.
- A first-in-human, open-label Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating BNT324/DB-1311 in multiple advanced solid tumors is planned to start this year.
BNT116 is based on BioNTech’s FixVac platform, a wholly owned, systemically administered, off-the-shelf mRNA-based cancer vaccine candidate. This candidate is being evaluated for the treatment of advanced NSCLC.
- In July 2023, BioNTech and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Regeneron”) initiated a randomized, controlled, Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT05557591) to evaluate BNT116 in combination with cemiplimab (Regeneron’s Libtayo) and cemiplimab alone as first-line treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC whose tumors express PD-L1 in ≥
50% of tumor cells.
BNT122 (Autogene cevumeran) is an mRNA cancer vaccine candidate based on an individualized neoantigen-specific immunotherapy (iNeST) approach being developed in collaboration with Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (”Roche”).
- A randomized Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT05968326) is planned to start in 2H 2023 to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of BNT122 in the adjuvant setting in combination with atezolizumab (Genentech’s Tecentriq) followed by chemotherapy in patients with resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) supported by data from an investigator-initiated Phase 1 trial (NCT04161755). In May 2023, results from the Phase 1 trial were published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature. Trials in other indications are ongoing.
BNT211 is an autologous Claudin-6 (CLDN6)-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy candidate that is being tested alone and in combination with an investigational CAR-T cell Amplifying RNA Vaccine compound, or CARVac, encoding CLDN6.
- A data update from the ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT04503278) was provided at the 2023 ASCO Annual Meeting detailing the new dose escalation of CLDN6 CAR-T cells with and without a CLDN6-encoding mRNA vaccine for the treatment of CLDN6-positive relapsed/refractory solid tumors using an automated manufacturing process. CLDN6 CAR-T cells ± CLDN6 CARVac showed a moderate safety profile in line with that of manually produced CLDN6 CAR-T cells. Encouraging signs of clinical activity for dose level 1 and 2 were confirmed, including dose-dependent expansion of CAR-T cells demonstrated by an objective response rate (ORR) of
41% in all 17 evaluable patients and an ORR of75% in patients at dose level 2. Follow-up of treated patients and further enrollment of patients into dose level 2 and 3 are ongoing. After determination of a recommended Phase 2 dose for CLDN6 CAR-T cells, a pivotal trial in germ cell tumors is planned to start in 2024.
Corporate Update for the Second Quarter 2023 and Key Post Period-End Events
- In April, BioNTech entered into exclusive license and collaboration agreements with DualityBio to develop, manufacture and commercialize two investigational topoisomerase-1 inhibitor-based ADC assets, BNT323/DB-1303 and BNT324/DB-1311. In August 2023, BioNTech signed another agreement with DualityBio to develop, manufacture and commercialize an additional antibody-drug conjugate, DB-1305.
- In July, following on a memorandum of understanding announced in January, BioNTech signed a long-term strategic partnership agreement with the UK Government, NHS England and Genomics England Limited with the aim to provide access to personalized treatments for up to 10,000 patients by 2030, either in clinical trials or as authorized treatment. To execute this, BioNTech plans to set up new laboratories in Cambridge with an expected capacity of more than 70 highly skilled scientists as well as a new regional hub for the United Kingdom.
- In July, BioNTech also successfully completed its previously announced acquisition of InstaDeep, following the satisfaction of all customary closing conditions. The acquisition supports the Company’s strategy to build world-leading capabilities in Artificial Intelligence (“AI”)-driven drug discovery and development. InstaDeep will operate as a UK-based global subsidiary of BioNTech. The transaction adds approximately 290 highly skilled professionals to BioNTech’s workforce, including teams in AI, machine learning (“ML”), bioengineering, data science, and software development.
