Good afternoon, and welcome to today's call. Joining us from Vaxart are Andrei Floroiu, Chief Executive Officer; Dr. James Cummings, Chief Medical Officer; Philip Lee, Chief Financial Officer; and Brant Biehn, Senior Vice-President for Business Operations.

Before we begin, I would like to remind everyone that during this conference call, Vaxart may make forward-looking statements, including statements about the company's financial results, financial guidance, its future business strategies and operations and its product development and regulatory progress, including statements about its ongoing or planned clinical trials.

Actual results could materially differ from those discussed in these forward-looking statements due to a number of important factors, including uncertainty inherent in the clinical development and regulatory process, and other risks described in the Risk Factors section of Vaxart's most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and also on other periodic reports filed with the SEC. Vaxart undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this call.

I'll now turn the call over to Andrei Floroiu. Andrei?

Andrei Floroiu

Thank you, Ed, and thank you to all of you for joining us today. On today's call, we will highlight the recent clinical progress we have made on our norovirus oral pill vaccine program. We'll also provide a look at our planned milestones and briefly discuss our COVID program before opening the call to your questions.

During the third quarter, we took important steps to validate our mucosal vaccine platform. We released encouraging top-line data from two phase 2 trials of our norovirus program. First, from our phase 2 dose ranging study for our bivalent norovirus oral vaccine candidate. And then from our Phase 2 norovirus challenge study.
