    <textblock>
      This is a Phase I double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial (1:4 ratio of placebo to&#xD;
      vaccine) of Hepatitis E virus vaccine containing a 239 amino acid subfragment of Hecolin(R)&#xD;
      (HEV-239) in 25 US males and non-pregnant females ages 18 - 45 (inclusive) to assess the&#xD;
      safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of HEV-239. Subjects will receive 3 doses of study&#xD;
      product on Days 1, 29, and 180. Subjects will remain in the study for up to 13 months&#xD;
      (including screening). The study duration will be approximately 15 months. Subjects will be&#xD;
      observed for 30 minutes after vaccination. The occurrence of solicited injection site and&#xD;
      systemic reactogenicity events will be measured from the time of study vaccination through&#xD;
      Day 8 after each vaccination. These will be ascertained through use of an electronic memory&#xD;
      (e-memory) aid, a telephone call on day 4 after each dose of vaccine, a Day 8 clinic visit,&#xD;
      and potentially at the Day 15 clinic visit after each dose of vaccine. Unsolicited adverse&#xD;
      events will be collected from vaccination through Day 29 after each vaccination. Serious&#xD;
      adverse events will be collected from the time of the first study vaccination through the&#xD;
      last study visit (Day 360). The study includes multiple phlebotomy time points for&#xD;
      immunogenicity and blood collection for future use at visit 1 and Days 8, 15, and 29 after&#xD;
      each vaccination. The durability of the immune response and future use collection will be&#xD;
      assessed at 5 months after the first boost (Day 180) and at 6 months after the second boost&#xD;
      (Day 360). The primary objectives of the study are to; 1) assess the safety and&#xD;
      reactogenicity of HEV-239 following delivery of each vaccine dose; and 2) assess the number&#xD;
      of subjects with &gt; / = 4 fold rise in Hepatitis E virus (HEV) immunoglobulin G (IgG) at any&#xD;
      time after vaccination.&#xD;

        <title>Percentage of Participants Showing &gt;/=4-fold Rise in Serum Hepatitis E Virus Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Concentration</title>
        <description>Blood was collected for IgG assay which was conducted with HEV as the antigen. Each sample was tested at least twice per the laboratory's standard operating procedure, and the geometric mean of the replicate results was calculated as that sample's result. The geometric mean fold rise was calculated for each study arm from the available results at Day 8 and Day 15 post first study vaccination, Day 29 prior to second study vaccination, Day 36, Day 43, Day 57, Day 180 prior to third study vaccination, Day 187, Day 194, Day 208 and Day 360. A 4-fold rise was defined as a HEV IgG &gt;/=0.154 Wu/mL in a participant that was HEV seronegative at Day 1.</description>

        <title>Percentage of Participants With Hepatitis E Virus Immunoglobulin M (IgM) Seroconversion</title>
        <description>Blood was collected for the IgM assay conducted with HEV as the antigen. Each sample was tested in duplicate per the laboratory's standard operating procedure and retested in duplicate if a result was borderline (A / C.O. = 0.9-1.1). If any replicate was seropositive [A/C.O. &gt;1.1 as defined by the Wantai HEV-IgM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) package insert] the sample's result was positive. If no replicates were positive the sample's result was negative. Seroconversion was defined as a change from a seronegative result to a seropositive result.</description>

        <description>Blood was collected for IgG assay which was conducted with HEV as the antigen. Each sample was tested at least twice per the laboratory's standard operating procedure, and the geometric mean of the replicate results was calculated as that sample's result. The geometric mean concentration (Wu/mL) was calculated for each study arm from the available results at each timepoint.</description>

This is a Phase I double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial (1:4 ratio of placebo to
      vaccine) of Hepatitis E virus vaccine containing a 239 amino acid subfragment of Hecolin(R)
      (HEV-239) in 25 US males and non-pregnant females ages 18 - 45 (inclusive) to assess the
      safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of HEV-239. Subjects will receive 3 doses of study
      product on Days 1, 29, and 180. Subjects will remain in the study for up to 13 months
      (including screening). The study duration will be approximately 15 months. Subjects will be
      observed for 30 minutes after vaccination. The occurrence of solicited injection site and
      systemic reactogenicity events will be measured from the time of study vaccination through
      Day 8 after each vaccination. These will be ascertained through use of an electronic memory
      (e-memory) aid, a telephone call on day 4 after each dose of vaccine, a Day 8 clinic visit,
      and potentially at the Day 15 clinic visit after each dose of vaccine. Unsolicited adverse
      events will be collected from vaccination through Day 29 after each vaccination. Serious
      adverse events will be collected from the time of the first study vaccination through the
      last study visit (Day 360). The study includes multiple phlebotomy time points for
      immunogenicity and blood collection for future use at visit 1 and Days 8, 15, and 29 after
      each vaccination. The durability of the immune response and future use collection will be
      assessed at 5 months after the first boost (Day 180) and at 6 months after the second boost
      (Day 360). The primary objectives of the study are to; 1) assess the safety and
      reactogenicity of HEV-239 following delivery of each vaccine dose; and 2) assess the number
      of subjects with > / = 4 fold rise in Hepatitis E virus (HEV) immunoglobulin G (IgG) at any
      time after vaccination.
