"We made significant progress during the second quarter," said Steve Holcombe, chief executive officer, vTv Therapeutics. "We reported positive results from part 1 of our phase 2 Simplici-T1 trial in type 1 diabetes and began screening patients for our 488-305 trial evaluating azeliragon in patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease and type 2 diabetes. We look forward to continuing to execute successfully on our development plans for each of these drug candidates and advancing them as potential treatments for patients suffering from these diseases."

Recent Achievements and Outlook

Part 1 of the Simplici-T1 Study achieves positive topline results in patients with type 1 diabetes. In June 2019, we announced positive topline results from part 1 of the phase 2 Simplici-T1 Study, a 12-week study to evaluate TTP399 as an add-on to insulin therapy for patients with type 1 diabetes.

In this double-blind, placebo-controlled 12-week trial, the baseline mean HbA1c for the groups treated with TTP399 and placebo was 7.3% and 7.4%, respectively. Patients treated with TTP399 (n=8) showed a statistically significant mean reduction in HbA1c of 0.6% at 12 weeks, while the group treated with placebo (n=11) showed a mean increase in HbA1c of 0.1%, resulting in a mean improvement of 0.7% in the TTP399 group relative to the placebo group (p=0.03).

TTP399 was well tolerated in the study, with no serious adverse event reported, and no report of diabetic ketoacidosis or severe hypoglycemia.

Simplici-T1 Study enrolling patients in Part 2. In May 2019, we began enrolling patients in the part 2 confirmatory phase of the Simplici-T1 Study and expect to report results for that portion of the study in the latter part of the first quarter of 2020.

Screening patients for Phase 2/3 clinical trial of azeliragon. We began screening patients in June 2019 for a Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate azeliragon as a potential treatment of mild-AD in patients with type 2 diabetes. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter trial is designed as sequential phase 2 and phase 3 studies operationally conducted under one protocol. Each part of the study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of azeliragon in patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease (screening MMSE 21 to 26, baseline MMSE 19 to 27; and ADAS-cog14 score ≥10) and type 2 diabetes (screening HbA1c 6.5% to 9.5%, inclusive).

vTv expects to report topline results from the phase 2 proof of concept study by the end of the fourth quarter of 2020.

Upcoming Events

vTv will present additional results from Part 1 of the Simplici-T1 Study at the 55th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes in Barcelona Spain, September 16–20, 2019 with a poster entitled "Results from the sentinel and learning phase of the Simplici-T1 study, the first clinical trial to test activation of glucokinase as an adjunctive treatment for type 1 diabetes".

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Cash Position: Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2019, were $1.5 million compared to $5.0 million as of March 31, 2019.

Revenue: Revenues were $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2019 versus $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2019. The increase in revenue was driven by the recognition of $1.0 million for one of our license agreements based on the satisfaction of a development milestone.

R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2019 and $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2019. This increase in R&D expenses was driven primarily by the increase in costs for the 488-305 Study for which we were performing start-up activities, including site activations, in the second quarter of 2019.

G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $2.4 million in each of the second and first quarters of 2019.

Net Loss Before Non-Controlling Interest: Net loss before non-controlling interest was $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to net loss before non-controlling interest of $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2019.

Net Loss Per Share: GAAP net loss per share was $0.10 and $0.26 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively, based on weighted-average shares of 28.0 million and 22.9 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively. Non-GAAP net loss per fully exchanged share was $0.09 and $0.06 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively, based on non-GAAP fully exchanged weighted-average shares of 51.1 million and 46.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively.

On July 31, 2019 PRA Health Sciences, Inc. ("PRA," "we," "us" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PRAH) reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 (Press release, PRA Health Sciences, JUL 31, 2019, View Source [SID1234537978]).

"Although we have modified our expectations around our 2019 revenue targets, market demand remains strong and our objective of delivering broad and flexible services to our clients remains our top priority."

Net new business for our Clinical Research segment for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $670.7 million, representing a net book-to-bill ratio of 1.24 for the period. This net new business contributed to an ending backlog of $4.5 billion at June 30, 2019.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, revenue was $763.3 million, which represents growth of 5.6%, or $40.5 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 at actual foreign exchange rates. On a constant currency basis, revenue grew $49.1 million, an increase of 6.8% compared to the second quarter of 2018. By segment, the Clinical Research segment generated revenues of $702.2 million, while the Data Solutions segment generated revenues of $61.1 million.

Direct costs, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, were $386.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $381.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 at actual foreign exchange rates. On a constant currency basis, direct costs increased $15.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2018. Consistent with the first quarter of 2019, the increase in direct costs was primarily driven by an increase in labor-related costs in our Clinical Research segment as we continue to hire billable staff to ensure appropriate staffing levels. Direct costs were 50.6% of revenue during the second quarter of 2019 compared to 52.8% of revenue during the second quarter of 2018.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $98.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $91.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Selling, general and

administrative costs were 12.9% of revenue during the second quarter of 2019 compared to 12.6% of revenue during the second quarter of 2018. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily related to an increase in salaries and related benefits, including stock-based compensation expense as we continue to hire staff and an increase in office space and related expenses to support our continued growth.

GAAP net income was $41.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, or $0.62 per share on a diluted basis, compared to GAAP net income of $42.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, or $0.64 per share on a diluted basis.

Guidance

The Company is updating its 2019 revenue guidance to between $3.02 billion and $3.10 billion, representing as reported growth of 5% to 8% and constant currency growth of 6% to 8%. We are updating our GAAP net income per diluted share to between $3.60 and $3.70 and Adjusted Net Income per diluted share to between $4.98 and $5.08, representing growth of 16% to 19%. We continue to estimate our annual effective income tax rate at approximately 24%. Our effective tax rate may differ from this estimate, due to, among other things, changes to estimates of the geographic allocation of our pre-tax income as well as changes in guidance from regulatory agencies related to interpretation, analysis and guidance of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Our guidance assumes a EURO rate of 1.15 and a GBP rate of 1.30. All other foreign currency exchange rates are as of June 30, 2019.
