We have achieved one other document quarter for HEPLISAV-B web product gross sales as we strengthen our management place within the U.S. grownup Hepatitis B vaccine market, notching continued year-over-year market share positive aspects for the whole market and in key market segments.
Based mostly on our robust ends in Q2 and the continued strengthening of the hepatitis B vaccine market throughout Q2 and into early Q3, we’re reaffirming our HEPLISAV-B product income steerage for the full-year 2024. Long run, we’re extremely optimistic in regards to the grownup hepatitis B vaccine market of over 130 million eligible sufferers, which is likely one of the largest addressable affected person populations for vaccines within the U.S. We anticipate the market alternative for HEPLISAV-B to develop to over $800 million by 2027, with continued progress in each market share and market dimension via the top of the last decade.

Thanks, Ryan. We’re thrilled with the efficiency and record-breaking gross sales for HEPLISAV-B within the second quarter. HEPLISAV-B achieved over $70 million in web product income within the quarter supported by hepatitis B vaccine market progress and will increase in HEPLISAV-B market share. Throughout our final earnings name, we mentioned that the hepatitis B vaccine market started to strengthen in early Q2 as the main focus of healthcare suppliers and retail pharmacies shifted again to prioritizing non-respiratory vaccines.
That dynamic continued to play out all through the quarter as prospects reprioritized adoption of the ACIP Common Suggestion to assist defend their sufferers from hepatitis B. HEPLISAV-B continued to extend its complete U.S. market share 12 months over 12 months, attaining an estimated 42% market share within the second quarter in comparison with 39% throughout the identical interval final 12 months. HEPLISAV-B’s robust efficiency continues to be pushed by two essential segments, retail pharmacy and built-in supply networks or IDN.
In retail, HEPLISAV-B’s second quarter estimated market share elevated to roughly 59% in comparison with roughly 45% throughout the identical interval final 12 months. For IDN, HEPLISAV-B’s estimated market share elevated to roughly 56% in comparison with roughly 53% for Q2 final 12 months. Through the quarter, a number of prime nationwide retail chains and plenty of giant IDN techniques established hepatitis B-focused initiatives and campaigns to extend hepatitis B vaccination. We’re inspired by the main focus and dedication of those prospects and anticipate this momentum to proceed into Q3 as healthcare suppliers proceed to mobilize across the alternative of hepatitis B vaccination.
We stay assured within the long-term enlargement of the U.S. hepatitis B vaccine market. In early 2022, when the ACIP Common Suggestion went into impact, we supplied 5-year steerage. Now we anticipate the HEPLISAV-B market alternative to be over $800 million by 2027, with HEPLISAV-B positioned to attain a majority market share.
We stay assured in that 5-year steerage and anticipate continued hepatitis B market enlargement and HEPLISAV-B market share positive aspects via the top of the last decade. Past 2030, we anticipate the market to be substantial because of the continued penetration of the remaining giant unvaccinated grownup cohort. We look ahead to offering extra particular longer-term steerage by the top of this 12 months. In abstract, we’re reaffirming our confidence within the outlook for HEPLISAV-B each for 2024 and long-term.
We anticipate HEPLISAV-B to strengthen its place as a transparent market share chief within the increasing hepatitis B vaccine market. We’re very happy with our business staff’s success and are excited to assist construct on the momentum seen in Q2 for the rest of 2024. I’ll now flip the decision over to Rob to take you thru our scientific pipeline.
Robert Janssen — Senior Vice President, Scientific Improvement and Chief Medical Officer
Thanks, Donn. I am excited by the progress we’re making with our progressive vaccine pipeline, beginning with our shingles vaccine program, Z-1018. As a reminder, we consider there is a chance to develop an improved shingles vaccine, given the difficult tolerability profile of the present market-leading product. Within the second quarter, we initiated a randomized active-controlled dose escalation multicenter Part 1/2 trial to guage the security, tolerability, and immunogenicity of Z-1018 in comparison with an lively management in roughly 440 wholesome adults aged 50 to 69 years.
Key goals of the trial embody choosing the optimum glycoprotein E dose stage and dosing schedule in addition to adjuvant formulation for additional scientific improvement. The Part 1/2 trial will likely be used to assist validation of a patient-reported end result measurement device to distinguish Z-1018 on tolerability and to assist potential label claims. We anticipate reporting top-line immunogenicity and security information within the second half of 2025, together with a comparability of CD4+ T-cells 1 month after the second of two vaccine doses. Turning subsequent to Tdap 1018 program.
That is an investigational vaccine candidate supposed for lively booster immunization towards tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis or Tdap. Present Tdap vaccines have limitations, together with waning effectiveness, and we consider there’s a chance to enhance the length of safety utilizing our CpG 1018 adjuvant to generate a Th1-biased immune response. We’re evaluating the persistence of Tdap 1018-induced pertussis immunogenicity via a long-term follow-up examine of members who accomplished a Part 1 trial of a booster dose of Tdap 1018 in comparison with an lively management. The extension examine will seize information for members as much as 3 years following preliminary vaccination.
Outcomes from the Part 1 extension examine are anticipated within the fourth quarter of 2024. These information will present us with a view of how the Tdap 1018 immune response over time compares to the lively management and can assist set up our views on the potential advantages that may be achieved with this vaccine candidate. For our plague vaccine program, which is in collaboration with and funded by the U.S. Division of Protection, we anticipate offering a program replace based mostly on outcomes from each our Part 2 scientific trial and a nonhuman primate problem examine within the fourth quarter of 2024.
We’re additionally targeted on addressing FDA feedback relating to our sBLA for a HEPLISAV-B hemodialysis dosing routine. We intend to fulfill with the FDA within the second half of 2024 as a part of the usual regulatory course of to debate pathways to amend our sBLA, with further information to assist potential approval of the four-dose routine. We’re happy with this progress throughout our pipeline, and we look ahead to executing on these upcoming milestones within the coming months. I will now flip the decision over to Kelly to evaluation our monetary outcomes.
Kelly MacDonald — Chief Monetary Officer
Thanks, Rob. Earlier than I get began, a reminder to please discuss with our press launch and Type 10-Q filed earlier at present for extra detailed monetary info. I will stroll via the monetary highlights for one more robust quarter underscored by document HEPLISAV-B web gross sales of $70 million, a 24% year-over-year improve and a 47% sequential improve in comparison with final quarter, placing us on observe to attain our steerage for the full-year 2024. We consider this progress is a testomony to the effectiveness of our general model plan and highlights the energy of our gross sales staff, mixed with profitable advertising campaigns throughout a number of channels, together with retail.
HEPLISAV-B gross margin improved to 83% in Q2 2024 from 76% within the prior 12 months quarter. This margin enlargement is in step with our steerage of roughly 80% for the full-year 2024 and the results of extremely efficacious capital investments in our manufacturing course of, mixed with improved scale over time. Different income was about $4 million for the second quarter, representing income associated to the plague vaccine program in collaboration with and funded by the U.S. Division of Protection.
Turning to our bills. Analysis and improvement bills have been $15 million for Q2 2024 in comparison with $13 million for the prior 12 months interval, with the rise reflecting essential progress all through our discovery, preclinical, and scientific pipeline. Promoting, normal, and administrative bills for the second quarter of 2024 have been $42 million in comparison with roughly $37 million for the prior 12 months interval. The rise was primarily pushed by our gross sales drive enlargement within the second half of 2023, and different excessive ROI investments driving the expansion of our HEPLISAV-B franchise.
Sublease revenue was $2 million within the second quarter of 2024. And as a reminder from final quarter’s name, we anticipate to document roughly $5 million of web subleased revenue for the complete 12 months of 2024. These outcomes generated web revenue of $11 million within the second quarter of 2024 in comparison with $3 million in the course of the prior 12 months interval. Transferring to the steadiness sheet.

Questions & Solutions:
Operator
Thanks. [Operator instructions] Our first query comes from the road of Matthew Phipps at William Blair. Matthew, please go forward. Your line is now open.
Matt Phipps — Analyst
Hello. Thanks for taking my questions and giving us the replace right here throughout the HEPLISAV applications. I used to be questioning perhaps should you might give us somewhat little bit of your expectations round market share, perhaps by the top of this 12 months or if you suppose you’ll break that sort of 50% mark in market share. After which as we take into consideration among the seasonality all through the remainder of the 12 months, Kelly, perhaps you may assist us on ought to we assume an identical proportion of complete 12 months gross sales in Q3 and Q3 this 12 months as we noticed final 12 months? And Kelly, welcome again.
Ryan Spencer — Chief Govt Officer and Director
Thanks, Matt. I will take the primary one on market share. Clearly, we do not present steerage at that stage of element, so I will simply should refer again to a few of our normal feedback associated to 2027 on the long-term information that we anticipate to have a majority share at that interval in time, however we’ve not supplied any steerage on market share that is extra refined than that. And because it pertains to seasonality, Kelly, do you wish to take that one?
Kelly MacDonald — Chief Monetary Officer
Certain. Thanks for the nice and cozy welcome, Matt. So, as a reminder, we did reiterate our steerage, our web gross sales steerage for the 12 months between $265 million to $280 million. With respect to the seasonality that we beforehand guided to and have type of began to see all through this 12 months, we’re nonetheless anticipating that This fall contraction on the increased finish of historic ranges, so in that 15%.
And final 12 months, we’d have seen 15% to twenty%. We predict that to return into the about 15% vary this 12 months. Once more, that is type of how we anticipate This fall relative to Q3. So hopefully, that is useful.
We do nonetheless, after all, anticipate Q3 to be a really robust quarter as effectively.
Matt Phipps — Analyst
OK. Nice. Thanks for taking the questions.
Ryan Spencer — Chief Govt Officer and Director
Thanks.
Operator
Our subsequent query comes from the road of Phil Nadeau from TD Cowen. Phil, your line is now open.
Phil Nadeau — Analyst
Thanks for taking our questions. One business, one pipeline. On business, you reiterated your steerage for $800 million market in just a few years. Are you able to discuss in regards to the information factors which can be accumulating that proceed to present you confidence in that market progress? I believe for many of us, it is somewhat onerous given the noise round contraction out there, some quarters and progress in others.
So what offers you confidence that each one is on observe to hit that final market dimension?
Ryan Spencer — Chief Govt Officer and Director
Sure. I will make a pair high-level factors. And, Donn, when you have another particulars so as to add, please do. Donn could have reminded us that again in ’22, we projected out the market to be $800 million by 2027 based mostly on our modeling of accelerating protection charges on account of the ACIP Common Suggestion, and we proceed to reiterate that as a result of we’re monitoring towards these projections as we have progressed over the previous couple of years.
Donn, I do not know if you wish to elaborate all on.
Donn Casale — Chief Business Officer
I imply the one further colour can be these charges that we sort of put into our forecast are sort of in keeping with different vaccines and so different vaccine analogs. In order Ryan talked about, we see that occurring, and that offers us the boldness to sort of reiterate that steerage long-term. However once more, simply trying on the market, taking a look at what occurs with different vaccines, and we consider hepatitis B vaccination will comply with that related path.
Ryan Spencer — Chief Govt Officer and Director
So, Phil, I believe the info factors you may have a look at are, one, the historic dimension of the hep B market and the way it’s grown since 2022 advice, together with analog vaccine merchandise which have advice adjustments. And you will see in these merchandise, like Tdap, for instance, or flu, that you’ll have a number of years of progress made towards rising vaccination protection charges.
Phil Nadeau — Analyst
Obtained it. OK. Possibly truly one follow-up on business. There’s a variety of controversy within the COVID vaccine and RSV vaccine area due to latest tendencies there.
COVID has been somewhat disappointing. RSV clearly had the latest advice or not advice for annual vaccination. So it appears to be some concern that these vaccines will not be as closely utilized subsequent season as they’d on this previous. How does that determine into your expectations for seasonality for HEPLISAV? Is it too early to inform? Or is there some motive to suppose perhaps ’24 to ’25 that respiratory virus season will not be as impacted on the HPV vaccines because the previous?
Ryan Spencer — Chief Govt Officer and Director
Sure. So a few feedback on the panorama. One, COVID stays nonetheless a really giant product. So that you’re proper.
I believe it might have some — there is a comparability of expectation versus utilization, however it’s nonetheless comparatively extremely utilized yearly, and RSV goes to be decrease given the shortage of advice for annual enhance. I believe these are each tailwinds for HEPLISAV. Donn, do you wish to perhaps simply present somewhat little bit of colour on, particularly, the retail pharmacy tendencies that now we have seen or might see as we progress because it pertains to plus one choices?
Donn Casale — Chief Business Officer
I believe it boils all the way down to that, Phil, and the truth that it offers extra vaccination alternative, fairly frankly, for sufferers as they originate within the pharmacy this fall season into winter season. So, once more, to Ryan’s level, it is a tailwind, it is a chance. Our retail companions see it as such. And so for hep B, it is a chance as a result of, once more, it offers further origination vaccination alternatives this season, and we factored that in as we take into consideration this 12 months and past.
Ryan Spencer — Chief Govt Officer and Director
To be clear, though RSV will likely be utilized much less, that took an arm — when somebody originated for flu or COVID, now there’s a chance to be a special vaccine to be administered.
Phil Nadeau — Analyst
Obtained it. OK. Final query on the pipeline. You talked about C4 ranges are going to be assessed within the Z-1018 trial.
Are you able to give us some sense of what you hope to see? What would you take into account encouraging that can immediate additional funding versus what can be discouraging in Dynavax’s eyes?
Ryan Spencer — Chief Govt Officer and Director
Certain. Rob, why do not you’re taking that?
Robert Janssen — Senior Vice President, Scientific Improvement and Chief Medical Officer
Yeah. What we’re taking a look at quite a few completely different antigen ranges in numerous mixtures with adjuvants in addition to completely different dosing regimens. And what we anticipate is figuring out the very best to maneuver ahead, which might be one that gives related ranges of CD4 accounts that we see with Shingrix.
Phil Nadeau — Analyst
Obtained it. Thanks for taking my questions.
Operator
Our subsequent query comes from the road of Jon Miller at Evercore. John, your line is now open.
Jon Miller — Analyst
Yeah. Thanks for taking my query. Sure. I assume one on market share right here, and I do know you type of talked about this somewhat bit, however what drives the following leg of market share right here? Clearly, you have had good year-on-year progress for the previous handful of quarters, however does really feel prefer it’s steady plus or minus a few p.c.
And the comps effectively finish 12 months comps get harder going into second half 12 months. So what drives the following stage of HEPLISAV progress from right here?
Ryan Spencer — Chief Govt Officer and Director
Yeah. So, a few issues I will hit on the excessive stage. Once more, Donn, do you wish to add to it, please do. However we proceed to have prospects the place we are able to increase utilization.
So, prospects do not transfer as a block essentially within the IDN area. So you may get the biggest clinics and you’ll proceed to increase there. I believe the opposite factor of this can be a disproportionate share of progress. So we do consider the HEPLISAV will proceed to seize disproportionate share of the market enlargement, which can even assist general market share.
Jon Miller — Analyst
OK. Certain. Then the opposite query, I assume it seems to be like from a gross margin perspective, you are roughly hitting your steerage this quarter. As I believe quarter to quarter, how a lot noise is there in gross margin now that the large efforts to enhance that over time are onboard and also you’re reaching the realm you’re hoping to get to?
Kelly MacDonald — Chief Monetary Officer
So we’ll proceed to see some minor fluctuations quarter to quarter and a few variability quarter to quarter simply due to timing of simply manufacturing processes. I believe when it comes to order of magnitude, what we have seen these final couple of quarters might be what we are able to anticipate to see going ahead, which is why we supplied the type of 80% estimated gross margin for the 12 months as our steerage.
Jon Miller — Analyst
Nice. After which, perhaps final one for me, simply extra in regards to the phrasing of how a few of your steerage reads. You are guiding for money and equivalents at 12 months finish to be larger than it was at 12 months finish ’23. And I observed you are not speaking about money circulate, you are not speaking about explicit profitability numbers.
It is particularly money plus equivalence steerage. Does that indicate that BD is much less probably earlier than the top of the calendar 12 months?
Ryan Spencer — Chief Govt Officer and Director
That steerage, Jon, simply to be very clear, is on our present present enterprise. Clearly, to the extent that we had a big deployment of capital for a BD alternative, that might impression that steerage.
Jon Miller — Analyst
That is smart. Thanks a lot.
Operator
Thanks. Our subsequent query comes from the road of Paul Choi from Goldman Sachs. Paul, your line is now open.
Paul Choi — Analyst
Hello. Good afternoon, and thanks for taking our questions. My first query can also be on the steerage, and could also be directed to Kelly and Donn. As you concentrate on the steerage for the again half of the 12 months, clearly you have traditionally been weighted to 3Q versus 4Q.
However I assume, it looks as if as we have a look at latest prescription tendencies via July, whereas up versus the tail finish of 2Q, it looks as if there’s going to be a little bit of a heavy elevate to make the midpoint or higher finish of your steerage. So, I assume the query is, based mostly on what you are seeing within the market proper now, are you extra comfy with the decrease finish of the steerage you supplied versus the midpoint? That is my first query. After which second, with regard to the plague program, clearly you guys did point out that you will present an replace in 4Q. However assuming the info is optimistic there, are you able to perhaps simply remind us if that triggers any milestone with regard to that program? And welcome again, Kelly, as effectively.
Kelly MacDonald — Chief Monetary Officer
Thanks. I will take the primary one, after which Donn will certainly layer in some particulars, which is, as we take into consideration steerage, I believe we actually consider that now we have loads of eventualities that can assist the higher finish of the vary. So we maintain the steerage when it comes to a spread as a result of there are uncertainties. So I believe a few issues that we’re actually enthusiastic about headed into Q3 and This fall have already been highlighted on this name.
So for instance, among the retail pull-through that we have seen, we proceed to see that. We even have actually robust response to our private promotion after which additionally, after all, among the alternatives that was highlighted across the latest RSV suggestions. Actually, that opens up a chance for us. Possibly I will hand it over to Donn so as to add another colour.
Donn Casale — Chief Business Officer
Sure. Paul, simply relating to trying into Q3, I imply to Kelly’s level, we have mentioned this already. We’re excited with what we see, particularly throughout the retail pharmacy section, actions and behaviors which can be taking place and occurring by our companions, actually save themselves up for a reasonably sturdy again half of the 12 months, profiting from alternatives and affected person origination, as I discussed earlier than, with the RSV instance. Infrastructure is in place, communication is in place, and in order that’s why we really feel superb about the place we will reaffirm our steerage for 2024.
Ryan Spencer — Chief Govt Officer and Director
After which, Paul, on the plague program, there is not any outlined milestone construction because it pertains to that program. That may be a — it is a DoD-funded program that might — the the wrong way up there can be in future product gross sales of both 1018 or if we ended up being liable for the entire product. So we’ll present an replace on this system in This fall, which would come with any future expectations round development and funding.
Paul Choi — Analyst
Obtained it. OK. Thanks for the readability. Thanks very a lot.
Operator
Thanks. Our subsequent query comes from the road of Roy Buchanan from JMP Securities. Roy, your line is now open.
Roy Buchanan — Analyst
Observe up on a variety of the steerage questions. That is the longer-term steerage that you simply talked about offering later this 12 months. Are you able to perhaps discuss somewhat — give us a preview perhaps of what that is going to appear like? Is that 2030, 2035, 2040? Any granularity and if you would possibly give us that steerage? Yeah. Thanks.
Ryan Spencer — Chief Govt Officer and Director
Yeah As you heard in among the qualitative statements we made at present round somewhat little bit of a sign of what we anticipate past 2027 with continued market progress and to proceed market share, we’re trying to have the ability to replace longer-term steerage to deal with offering colour as to the place we see the height alternative after which some context for the form of the curve post-peak. So we’re refining that work proper now, which is the place we really feel assured in continued progress past ’27, and we’ll refine that somewhat bit extra and supply a bit extra quantitative replace later this 12 months.
Roy Buchanan — Analyst
OK. Nice. After which, did something change? I assume not. Or have you ever simply seen sufficient information at this level to have the ability to be assured in making these longer-term projections? Thanks.
Ryan Spencer — Chief Govt Officer and Director
Effectively, it sort of goes again to the dialogue we had earlier within the Q&A session that we put out 5-year steerage in ’22, and we needed — which we felt comfy with on the time, and we predict we have to proceed to offer our view of the long-term alternative as now we have further info to affect it. So the previous couple of years have supplied us perception that we wish to replicate on our long-term steerage.
Roy Buchanan — Analyst
Is sensible. Thanks.
