Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Three Months Ended December 31, 2020

Net Loss
For the three months ended December 31, 2020, Radius reported a net loss of $21.4 million, or $0.46 per share, compared to a net loss of $24.7 million, or $0.54 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2019.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, non-GAAP adjusted net income, was $10.8 million, or $0.23 per share, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $13.3 million, or $0.29 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2019.

Revenue
For the three months ended December 31, 2020, TYMLOS net product revenues were $59.9 million compared to approximately $55.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019.

Costs and Expenses
For the three months ended December 31, 2020, research and development expense was $36.4 million compared to $34.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $1.9 million, or 5%. This increase was primarily driven by a $16.0 million increase in RAD011 program expenses, a $3.4 million increase in abaloparatide transdermal system program costs, which was partially offset by a $18.4 million decrease in elacestrant program costs.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2020

Net Loss
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, Radius reported a net loss of $109.2 million, or $2.35 per share, compared to a net loss of $133.0 million, or $2.89 per share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, non-GAAP adjusted net loss was $62.3 million, or $1.34 per share, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $90.9 million, or $1.98 per share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019.

Revenue
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, TYMLOS net product revenues were $208.4 million compared to approximately $173.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019.

Costs and Expenses
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, research and development expense was $159.7 million compared to $116.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $43.0 million, or 37%. This increase was primarily a result of an increase of $39.9 million in program spending for the abaloparatide transdermal system project costs and an increase of $16.0 million in other costs due to the Benuvia licensing expense. These increases were partially offset by a $11.9 million decrease in program spending for elacestrant research which is a result of $39.3 million of reimbursable expenses offsetting year to date expenses.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, selling, general and administrative expenses were $144.2 million compared to $152.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $8.6 million, or 6%. This decrease was primarily the result of a $6.3 million decrease in professional fees, a $4.0 million decrease compensation related expenses. These decreases were offset by a $1.7 million increase in other costs.

As of December 31, 2020, Radius had $115.3 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities. Based upon our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance as of December 31, 2020, we believe that, prior to the consideration of potential proceeds from partnering and/or collaboration activities, we have sufficient capital to fund our development plans, U.S. commercial and other operational activities for at least twelve months from the date of this press release.

Compugen Announces Data Update from
COM701 Phase 1 Clinical Trial

On February 25, 2021 Compugen Ltd. (Nasdaq: CGEN), a clinical-stage cancer immunotherapy company and a leader in predictive target discovery, reported data from its Phase 1 dose escalation and expansion study of COM701 as a monotherapy, and in a dose escalation combination study with Opdivo (nivolumab) (Press release, Compugen, FEB 25, 2021, View Source [SID1234575674]). COM701 is a first-in-class investigational therapeutic antibody targeting PVRIG, a novel immune checkpoint discovered computationally by Compugen.

"The data generated to date across our COM701 clinical program suggest that PVRIG may be an important immune checkpoint in patients who are unresponsive or refractory to currently available immunotherapies," said Anat Cohen-Dayag, Ph.D., President and CEO of Compugen. "We are highly encouraged by our updated results from the COM701 plus Opdivo combination dose escalation, which now include a confirmed complete response in a patient with prior progression on Opdivo and a previously reported patient with a durable confirmed partial response for almost a year. Combined with a disease control rate of 66.7% and ongoing durable signals of activity beyond or approaching one year in multiple patients and across indications, these results leave us increasingly confident that dual blockade of PVRIG and PD-1 may be key to driving anti-tumor immune responses in certain patient populations. Based on these encouraging results, we will be further evaluating this dual combination regimen in patients with ovarian, breast, endometrial and microsatellite-stable colorectal cancers with the initiation of the COM701 and Opdivo cohort expansion study in the second quarter of 2021, as part of our collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb."

Dr. Cohen-Dayag continued, "Our monotherapy cohort expansion study was an important milestone in our COM701 monotherapy evaluation. This data, together with data from our previously reported dose escalation study, which includes a confirmed partial response with treatment ongoing for over one year as of our new data cutoff date, demonstrate durable signals of antitumor activity in tumor types typically unresponsive to immune checkpoint inhibitors, including patients with prior progression on these treatments. We will leverage these data, along with future data from our ongoing correlative assessments of biological samples from patients, to inform our clinical approach and next steps as we execute across our broad combination strategy, which includes dual and triple blockade regimens of COM701 with TIGIT and PD-1. Importantly, as the only company with wholly owned clinical candidates targeting both PVRIG and TIGIT, we are uniquely capable and on track to conduct this comprehensive evaluation of the synergistic blockade of the DNAM axis with PD-1, and we look forward to continued progress in potentially expanding the reach of immunotherapy."

Data highlights from the Phase 1 dose escalation studies as of the data cutoff of December 14, 2020 include:

COM701 and Opdivo combination dose escalation arm:

In 15 patients with a median of five prior anticancer therapies (range of 2-10), COM701 in combination with Opdivo was well-tolerated with no reported dose-limiting toxicities up to the fifth and final dose cohort of COM701 20 mg/kg and Opdivo 480 mg, both IV Q4 weeks.
The disease control rate (DCR) was 66.7% (N=10) with best responses of complete response (CR) 6.7% (N=1), partial response (PR) 6.7% (N=1) and stable disease (SD) 53.3% (N=8).
A patient with anal squamous cell carcinoma with confirmed SD as reported at American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) (Free AACR Whitepaper) 2020, now with confirmed CR and remains on treatment at 79 weeks. This patient progressed on Opdivo prior to enrolling in our study.
A patient with microsatellite stable (MSS)-colorectal cancer with durable confirmed partial response previously reported at AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper) 2020 remained on study treatment at 44 weeks.
Durable responses of confirmed SD of six months or more in three patients. One patient with renal cell carcinoma remains on treatment at 58 weeks, and one patient with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (squamous) who failed prior treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors remained on treatment at 36 weeks, and one patient with endometrial cancer remained on treatment at 46 weeks.
COM701 monotherapy arm dose escalation update since AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper) 2020:

The patient with primary peritoneal cancer (platinum resistant, MSS) with durable confirmed partial response remains on study treatment at 62 weeks.
The patient with pancreatic cancer, refractory to all three prior lines of standard of care (SOC) therapy with durable confirmed SD was on study treatment for 31 weeks.
Data highlights from the monotherapy expansion cohort as of the data cutoff of December 14, 2020 include:

20 patients enrolled in biomarker and data informed indications; four patients of each: endometrial cancer, NSCLC, ovarian cancer, breast cancer and colorectal cancer.
Six of the 20 patients (30%) had best responses of SD, one patient with endometrial cancer, three patients with NSCLC and two patients with ovarian cancer.
Two patients with SD remain on treatment as of the data cutoff date; one patient with NSCLC who had >3 prior lines of SOC therapy; including prior treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors with treatment ongoing at 26 weeks, and one patient with ovarian cancer with treatment ongoing at 20 weeks.
Two additional patients remain on treatment as of the data cutoff date.
No new safety findings were observed.
Additional clinical data and initial correlative assessments of biological samples from patients are planned to be presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) 2021 annual meeting, to which an abstract was submitted.

"This past year was a transformative one for Agios," said Jackie Fouse, Ph.D., chief executive officer at Agios. "Despite the extraordinary challenges brought on by the global COVID-19 pandemic and civil and political unrest in the U.S., we remain hopeful for the future of our country and the promise of our industry and more confident than ever in our ability to execute on our plans on behalf of patients. The sale of our oncology business to Servier on attractive terms both allows our oncology portfolio to grow and flourish and facilitates our new laser focus on genetically defined diseases, where we anticipate a catalyst-rich year ahead for mitapivat across our three initial disease indications. In addition to our plans to file for approval for mitapivat in adults with PK deficiency in the U.S. and EU and launching our Phase 3 thalassemia trials later this year, we’re pleased to share our pivotal strategy for mitapivat in sickle cell disease which we believe will enable us to pursue a broad label for patients who desperately need new treatment options."

FOURTH QUARTER 2020 & RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

Entered into definitive agreement to sell commercial, clinical and research-stage oncology portfolio to Servier, an independent global pharmaceutical company, in December.
Achieved TIBSOVO (ivosidenib tablets) net sales of $39.1 million for the quarter and $121.1 million for the year, exceeding the $115 million updated net revenue target and representing a 102% increase in net sales year-over-year.
Announced topline results from two Phase 3 studies of mitapivat in adults with pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency who were not regularly transfused (ACTIVATE) and who were regularly transfused (ACTIVATE-T ). Both studies achieved statistical significance for their primary endpoint with ACTIVATE demonstrating a clinically meaningful sustained increase in hemoglobin compared to placebo and ACTIVATE-T demonstrating a clinically meaningful reduction in transfusion burden. Statistical significance was also achieved for all pre-specified key secondary endpoints for ACTIVATE demonstrating an improvement compared to placebo, including in patient-reported outcomes (PRO) based on changes from baseline in pyruvate kinase deficiency diary (PKDD) score and pyruvate kinase deficiency impact assessment (PKDIA) score at Week 24. The safety profile was consistent with results from prior studies.
Completed U.S. and EU regulatory interactions on the pivotal development plan for mitapivat in sickle cell disease, resulting in the Phase 2/3 trial design being announced today.
The Phase 2 will randomize 69 patients 1:1:1 to 50 mg mitapivat BID, 100 mg mitapivat BID or matched placebo. The primary endpoint is hemoglobin response defined as ≥1 g/dL change from baseline to Week 12.
The Phase 3 will randomize 198 patients 2:1 to the selected Phase 2 dose of mitapivat or matched placebo. The study includes two primary endpoints: hemoglobin response defined as ≥1 g/dL change from baseline to Week 52 and annualized rate of sickle cell pain crises.
Potential regulatory approval with a broad label based on the operationally seamless Phase 2/3 trial expected by the end of 2026.
Appointed Darrin Miles, previously senior vice president, U.S. commercial and global marketing, to role of chief commercial officer.
Presented final data, including mature overall survival (OS) results, from the Phase 3 ClarIDHy study of TIBSOVO in patients with previously treated isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutated cholangiocarcinoma at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (ASCO-GI) in January.
Presented updated Phase 1 data for mitapivat in sickle cell disease at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting in December.
Launched Anemia ID, a program providing no-cost genetic testing for patients with suspected hereditary anemias, including PK deficiency in November.

FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue: Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $44.0 million, which includes $2.0 million in collaboration revenue, $39.1 million of net product revenue from sales of TIBSOVO and $2.9 million in royalty revenue from net global sales of IDHIFA under our collaboration agreement with Celgene. This compares to $35.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, which included $12.9 million in collaboration revenue, $19.6 million of net product revenue from U.S. sales of TIBSOVO and $3.0 million in royalty revenue from net global sales of IDHIFA. Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $203.2 million compared to $117.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in 2020 revenue was primarily driven by a 102% increase in TIBSOVO net product revenue and higher collaboration revenue due to recognition of the remainder of the deferred revenue balance related to the completion of the metabolic immuno-oncology collaboration with Celgene Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bristol Myers Squibb Company.

Cost of Sales: Cost of sales were $1.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $0.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, and $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $95.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $106.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 and $367.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $410.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in R&D expense was primarily attributable to a decrease in TIBSOVO clinical development costs, including winding down the ClarIDHy Phase 3 study.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses: SG&A expenses were $39.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $34.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, and $149.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $132.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily attributable to increased workforce expenses and professional fees related to the Servier transaction, partially offset by a decrease in external spending due to cost savings initiatives and reduced employee travel related expenses due to restrictions.

Net Loss: Net loss was $97.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $102.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, and $327.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to a net loss of $411.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Cash Position and Guidance: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2020 were $670.5 million compared to $717.8 million as of December 31, 2019. The company expects that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2020, together with anticipated product and royalty revenue, interest income and expense reimbursements under our collaboration agreements, but excluding any additional program-specific milestone payments, will enable the company to fund its planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements to the end of 2022. Following the closing of the Servier transaction and net of the planned capital return, Agios expects to be able to fund its operation through major catalysts and to cash-flow positivity without the need to raise additional equity.
