Summary of Program Highlights by Modality ²

Core Modalities

Prophylactic Vaccines: Moderna is developing vaccines against viral diseases where there is an unmet medical need, including vaccines against respiratory infections and vaccines against latent viruses.

Vaccines against acute respiratory infections

COVID-19 vaccine development

• Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine (mRNA-1273 ³ , Spikevax ^� ): The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Biologics License Application (BLA) for SPIKEVAX (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) to prevent COVID-19 in individuals 18 years of age and older. 807 million doses of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine shipped globally in 2021; approximately 25% of those doses shipped to low- and middle-income countries.
  
  • Booster Dose of mRNA-1273: The U.S. FDA, European Medicines Agency (EMA), Swissmedic and other health agencies around the world have authorized a booster dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at the 50 �g dose level for adults ages 18 years and older.
  • Omicron-specific booster candidate (mRNA-1273.529): Moderna's Omicron-specific booster candidate is being studied to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety, and reactogenicity of mRNA-1273.529 as a single booster dose in adults aged 18 years and older in two cohorts: individuals who previously received the two-dose primary series of mRNA-1273 with the second dose being at least six months ago (cohort 1), or who have received the two-dose primary series and a 50 �g booster dose of mRNA-1273 with the booster dose being at least three months ago (cohort 2). Participants in both cohorts will receive a single booster dose of mRNA-1273.529.
  • Bivalent booster candidate (mRNA-1273.214): Today, Moderna is announcing a new bivalent candidate that combines Moderna's Omicron-specific candidate and mRNA-1273.
  • Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine for adolescents and children: Moderna has received regulatory authorizations for the use of the 100 �g Moderna COVID-19 vaccine primary series for adolescents 12 to 17 years of age in the European Union, UK, Australia, Canada, Switzerland and other countries. At this point, the U.S. FDA has not concluded on the benefit-risk profile of the 100 �g primary series for adolescents 12 to 17 years of age. Moderna made the decision to evaluate the potential of a 50 �g two-dose primary series to meet regulatory guidance for immunogenicity in adolescents and children ages 6 to 11 years. The Company is also evaluating a heterologous booster dose in adolescents after a two-dose primary series of 50 �g, 100 �g, or BNT162b2 and is preparing to submit data to regulators. The Company received authorization for a two-dose 50 �g primary series of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine in children ages 6 to 11 in Australia and has submitted additional applications for the 6 to 11 age group. In the U.S., Moderna is also studying a two-dose 25 �g primary series for the 6 to 11 age group. In the 6 months to 5 years age group, Moderna is studying a two-dose 25 �g primary series, and expects data in the first quarter of 2022. The Company plans to submit these data to regulators. Additionally, the Company is evaluating lower doses in the U.S. for this age group.
• Next-generation vaccine candidate against COVID-19 (mRNA-1283): The Phase 1 study of mRNA-1283 is fully enrolled and ongoing. The Phase 2 study of a booster dose of mRNA-1283 is ongoing. mRNA-1283 is a next-generation vaccine candidate against COVID-19 that encodes for the portions of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein critical for neutralization, specifically the Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) and N-terminal Domain (NTD). The encoded mRNA-1283 antigen is shorter than mRNA-1273 and is being developed as a potential refrigerator-stable mRNA vaccine that will facilitate easier distribution and administration by healthcare providers.

Additional vaccines against respiratory infections

• Seasonal influenza vaccine (mRNA-1010): On December 10, 2021, Moderna announced positive interim data from the Phase 1 study of mRNA-1010. mRNA-1010 successfully boosted hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay geometric mean titers against all strains 29 days after vaccination at all doses tested in both younger and older adults and no significant safety concerns were observed through day 29. The Phase 2 study of mRNA-1010 is fully enrolled and preparation for the Phase 3 study is underway. mRNA-1010 encodes for hemagglutinin (HA) glycoproteins of four flu strains and targets lineages recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the prevention of influenza, including seasonal influenza A H1N1, H3N2 and influenza B Yamagata and Victoria.
• Seasonal Influenza vaccines with expanded coverage (mRNA-1011 and mRNA-1012) and broader immunologic coverage (mRNA-1020 and mRNA-1030): On December 10, 2021, Moderna announced two development candidates which the Company believes may expand coverage against seasonal influenza strains. mRNA-1011 will have one additional hemagglutinin (HA) antigen and mRNA-1012 will have two additional HA antigens. Moderna is also developing two next-generation flu candidates that incorporate neuraminidase antigens to potentially improve immunity by increasing immunologic breadth targeting more conserved antigens (mRNA-1020, mRNA-1030).
• COVID-19 and flu combination vaccine (mRNA-1073): mRNA-1073 encodes for the COVID-19 spike protein and the Flu HA glycoproteins.
• Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine (mRNA-1345): The pivotal Phase 3 study of RSV in older adults (ages older than 60 years) is ongoing. This is a global study conducted in locations influenced by the epidemiology of RSV and the Company expects to enroll approximately 34,000 participants. The FDA has granted Fast Track designation for mRNA-1345 in adults older than 60 years of age. RSV is the leading cause of severe respiratory illness in young children and older adults (65+). The Phase 1 study of mRNA-1345 to evaluate the tolerability and reactogenicity of mRNA-1345 in younger adults, women of child-bearing potential, older adults and seropositive toddlers is ongoing. All four cohorts of younger adults (ages 18-49 years) and all four cohorts of older adults (ages 65-79 years) are fully enrolled.
• Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) and parainfluenza type 3 (PIV3) vaccine (mRNA-1653): The Phase 1 study of mRNA-1653 in children 12-59 months of age is fully enrolled.
• Pediatric RSV and hMPV combination vaccine (mRNA-1365): mRNA-1365 encodes for the RSV prefusion F glycoprotein and the hMPV F protein.

Vaccines against latent viruses

• Cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccine (mRNA-1647): The Phase 3 pivotal registration study of mRNA-1647, known as CMVictory, is ongoing. The study is evaluating the safety and efficacy of mRNA-1647 against primary CMV infection in women ages 16-40 years. The Company will seek to enroll up to 6,900 women of child-bearing age, at approximately 150 sites globally, beginning in the U.S. Moderna has set a goal of enrolling a diverse group of U.S. participants into the study, including approximately 42% of participants who are Persons of Color. The ClinicalTrials.gov identifier is NCT05085366. To learn more about eligibility, visit www.CMVictory.com.
• Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) vaccine (mRNA-1189): The Phase 1 study of mRNA-1189 ongoing. EBV is spread through bodily fluids (e.g., saliva) and contracted primarily by young children and adolescents. It is a major cause of infectious mononucleosis (IM), and associated risks to other long-term medical conditions, including an increased risk of developing multiple sclerosis, certain lymphoproliferative disorders and cancers, and autoimmune diseases ^4,5 . Similar to Moderna's CMV vaccine (mRNA-1647), mRNA-1189 contains four mRNAs that encode EBV envelope glycoproteins (gH, gL, gp42, gp220). There is currently no approved vaccine for EBV or IM.
• Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) therapeutic vaccine candidate (mRNA-1195): mRNA-1195 is being developed to prevent longer term sequelae of EBV infection, which are associated with loss of immune control of EBV latent infection, creating longer-term complications. mRNA-1195 is in pre-clinical development and encodes for additional antigens than mRNA-1189. The Company expects to initially test the vaccine in post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) because 60-80% of PTLD cases are associated with EBV infection. The Company expects to also pursue other longer-term potential indications for this vaccine, including multiple sclerosis.
• HIV vaccine (mRNA-1644 & mRNA-1574): The first participant has been dosed in the ongoing Phase 1 study of mRNA-1644, which is using iterative human testing to validate the approach and antigens and multiple novel antigens will be used for germline-targeting and immuno-focusing. mRNA-1644, a collaboration with the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is a novel approach to HIV vaccine strategy in humans designed to elicit broadly neutralizing HIV-1 antibodies (bNAbs). A second approach, mRNA-1574, is being evaluated in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and includes multiple native-like trimer antigens.
• Herpes simplex virus (HSV) therapeutic vaccine candidate (mRNA-1608): Moderna recently announced a new development candidate, mRNA-1608, a vaccine candidate against herpes. In the U.S., approximately 18.6 million adults ages 18 to 49 years are living with HSV-2. Moderna is developing mRNA-1608 to reduce the burden of HSV lesions.
• Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) vaccine candidate (mRNA-1468): Moderna recently announced a new mRNA vaccine candidate (mRNA-1468) designed to express varicella-zoster virus (VZV) glycoprotein E (gE) to reduce the rate of herpes zoster (shingles). Herpes zoster occurs in one of three adults in their lifetime and incidence dramatically increases at approximately 50 years of age. Declining immunity in older adults decreases cell-mediated immunity against VZV, allowing reactivation of the virus from latently infected neurons, causing painful and itchy lesions. Serious herpes zoster complications include postherpetic neuralgia (10-13% of herpes zoster cases), bacterial coinfections, and cranial and peripheral palsies; 1-4% of herpes zoster cases are hospitalized for complications.

Public health vaccines

• Zika virus vaccine (mRNA-1893): The Phase 2 study of mRNA-1893 is ongoing in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. mRNA-1893 is being developed in collaboration with BARDA.
• Nipah virus (NiV) Vaccine (mRNA-1215): NiV is a zoonotic virus transmitted to humans from animals, contaminated food, or through direct human-to-human transmission and causes a range of illnesses including fatal encephalitis. Severe respiratory and neurologic complications of NiV have no treatment other than intensive supportive care. NiV has been identified as the cause of isolated outbreaks in India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Singapore since 2000 and is included on the WHO R&D Blueprint list of epidemic threats needing urgent R&D action. mRNA-1215 was co-developed by Moderna and the NIH's Vaccine Research Center (VRC).

Systemic Secreted & Cell Surface Therapeutics: In this modality, mRNA is delivered systemically to create proteins that are either secreted or expressed on the cell surface.

• IL-2 (mRNA-6231): mRNA-6231 is an mRNA encoding for a long-acting tolerizing IL-2. This autoimmune development candidate is designed to preferentially activate and expand the regulatory T cell population. The Phase 1 study of mRNA-6231 in healthy adult participants (between 18 and 50 years of age) is ongoing.
• PD-L1 (mRNA-6981): mRNA-6981 is an mRNA encoding for PD-L1. This autoimmune development candidate is designed to augment cell surface expression of PD-L1 on myeloid cells to provide co-inhibitory signals to self-reactive lymphocytes.
• Relaxin (mRNA-0184): mRNA-0184 encodes for the relaxin protein which has been engineered to increase expression and prolong half-life. Moderna is planning for a Phase 1 study in participants with chronic heart failure. The Company expects that mRNA-0184 will be administered after heart failure decompensation to bridge patients through the vulnerable period.

Exploratory Modalities

Cancer Vaccines: These programs focus on stimulating a patient's immune system with antigens derived from tumor-specific mutations to enable the immune system to elicit a more effective anti-tumor response.

• Personalized cancer vaccine (PCV) (mRNA-4157): The randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study investigating a 1 mg dose of mRNA-4157 in combination with Merck's pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA�), compared to pembrolizumab alone, for the adjuvant treatment of high-risk resected melanoma is fully enrolled (n=150). The Company expects the Phase 2 data readout to occur in the fourth quarter of 2022. The primary endpoint of the Phase 2 study is recurrence-free survival at 12 months. The Phase 1 in multiple cohorts is ongoing including in the expanded head and neck cohort. Moderna shares worldwide commercial rights to mRNA-4157 with Merck.

Localized Regenerative Therapeutics: Localized production of proteins has the potential to be used as a regenerative medicine for damaged tissues.

• VEGF-A (AZD8601): Positive data from the AstraZeneca-led Phase 2 (EPICCURE) study evaluating the use of VEGF-A (AZD8601) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) were presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2021 annual meeting. The Phase 2 study met the primary endpoint of safety and tolerability of AZD8601. In the study of 11 patients, seven were treated with AZD8601 VEGF-A mRNA and four received placebo injections. Numerical trends were observed in endpoints in the heart failure efficacy domains compared with placebo, including increase in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and patient reported outcomes. In addition, all seven patients treated with AZD8601 had NT-proBNP levels below heart failure (HF) limit at 6 months follow-up compared to one of four patients treated with placebo. These results support further investigation of AZD8601 for efficacy and safety in future studies.

Systemic Intracellular Therapeutics: These programs aim to deliver mRNA into cells within target organs as a therapeutic approach for diseases caused by a missing or defective protein.

• Propionic acidemia (PA) (mRNA-3927): The Phase 1/2 Paramount study of mRNA-3927 is ongoing and the first cohort is fully enrolled. Moderna is enrolling participants into additional cohorts.

About Moderna

In over 10 years since its inception, Moderna has transformed from a research-stage company advancing programs in the field of messenger RNA (mRNA), to an enterprise with a diverse clinical portfolio of vaccines and therapeutics across seven modalities, a broad intellectual property portfolio in areas including mRNA and lipid nanoparticle formulation, and an integrated manufacturing plant that allows for rapid clinical and commercial production at scale. Moderna maintains alliances with a broad range of domestic and overseas government and commercial collaborators, which has allowed for the pursuit of both groundbreaking science and rapid scaling of manufacturing. Most recently, Moderna's capabilities have come together to allow the authorized use and approval of one of the earliest and most effective vaccines against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Moderna's mRNA platform builds on continuous advances in basic and applied mRNA science, delivery technology and manufacturing, and has allowed the development of therapeutics and vaccines for infectious diseases, immuno-oncology, rare diseases, cardiovascular diseases and auto-immune diseases. Moderna has been named a top biopharmaceutical employer by Science for the past seven years. To learn more, visit www.modernatx.com.
