"Gilead’s track record of strong commercial and clinical execution continued through the first quarter of 2023. A 15% year-over-year revenue increase reflects growth in each of our core areas," said Daniel O’Day, Gilead’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Biktarvy outperformed once again, and Oncology revenue increased 59% year-over-year, driven by Trodelvy and Cell Therapy. We look forward to helping even more people with Trodelvy following the approval for pre-treated HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer, making this the third U.S. approval for Trodelvy in three years."

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

•Total first quarter 2023 revenue decreased 4% to $6.4 billion compared to the same period in 2022, due to lower Veklury (remdesivir) sales, partially offset by increased sales in HIV and Oncology.
•Diluted Earnings Per Share ("EPS") increased to $0.80 for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $0.02 for the same period in 2022, mainly driven by the following items net of their related tax effect: a $2.7 billion in-process research and development ("IPR&D") impairment recorded in the first quarter of 2022, which did not repeat in 2023, partially offset by higher operating expenses, including higher acquired IPR&D expense and lower revenues in 2023.
•Non-GAAP diluted EPS decreased to $1.37 for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $2.12 for the same period in 2022, primarily driven by the following items net of their related tax effect: higher operating expenses, including higher acquired IPR&D expense, and lower revenues in 2023.
•As of March 31, 2023, Gilead had $7.2 billion of cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities, down from $7.6 billion as of December 31, 2022.
•During the first quarter of 2023, Gilead generated $1.7 billion in operating cash flow.
•During the first quarter of 2023, Gilead paid dividends of $969 million and repurchased $400 million of common stock.
Product Sales Performance
Total first quarter 2023 product sales decreased 3% to $6.3 billion compared to the same period in 2022. Total product sales, excluding Veklury, increased 15% to $5.7 billion in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to increased sales related to HIV, Cell Therapy, Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) and Liver Disease.

HIV product sales increased 13% to $4.2 billion in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily driven by favorable pricing dynamics, as well as higher demand and lower inventory draw-downs.
•Biktarvy (bictegravir 50mg/emtricitabine 200mg ("FTC")/tenofovir alafenamide 25mg ("TAF")) sales increased 24% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2023, reflecting higher demand, as well as favorable pricing and inventory dynamics.
•Descovy (FTC 200mg/TAF 25mg) sales increased 20% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2023, primarily driven by higher demand and favorable pricing dynamics.
The Liver Disease portfolio sales, which includes chronic hepatitis C virus ("HCV"), chronic hepatitis B virus ("HBV") and chronic hepatitis delta virus ("HDV"), increased 6% to $675 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily driven by higher demand and timing of purchases in the U.S.
Cell Therapy product sales increased 64% to $448 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.
•Yescarta (axicabtagene ciloleucel) sales increased 70% to $359 million in the first quarter of 2023, primarily driven by increased demand in relapsed or refractory ("R/R") large B-cell lymphoma ("LBCL").
•Tecartus (brexucabtagene autoleucel) sales increased 40% to $89 million in the first quarter of 2023, primarily driven by increased demand in R/R mantle cell lymphoma and R/R adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia ("ALL").
Trodelvy sales increased by 52% to $222 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily driven by increased adoption in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer in the United States and Europe, as well as the launch of the indication for pretreated HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer in the United States.
Veklury sales decreased by 63% to $573 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily driven by lower rates of COVID-19 related hospitalizations in all regions. Veklury sales generally reflect COVID-19 related rates and severity of infections and hospitalizations, as well as the availability, uptake and effectiveness of vaccinations and alternative treatments for COVID-19.
First Quarter 2023 Product Gross Margin, Operating Expenses and Effective Tax Rate
•Product gross margin was 77.8% for the first quarter of 2023 compared to 78.2% for the same period in 2022. Non-GAAP product gross margin was 86.2% for the first quarter of 2023 compared to 87.4% in the same period in 2022.
•Research and development ("R&D") expenses and non-GAAP R&D expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $1.4 billion, compared to $1.2 billion in the same period in 2022. The increases in GAAP and non-GAAP R&D expenses were primarily driven by increased clinical activities.
•Acquired IPR&D expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $481 million compared to $8 million in the same period in 2022, primarily driven by the acquisition of Tmunity Therapeutics Inc. ("Tmunity"), as well as upfront and milestone payments related to the collaborations with Arcellx, Inc. ("Arcellx") and Nurix Therapeutics, Inc. ("Nurix").
•Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses and non-GAAP SG&A expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $1.3 billion, compared to $1.1 billion in the same period in 2022. The increases in GAAP and non-GAAP SG&A expenses were primarily due to Oncology commercial expansion and investments, higher Branded Prescription Drug fee, as well as higher corporate activities.
•The effective tax rate ("ETR") for the first quarter of 2023 was 24.3% compared to 107.9% for the same period in 2022. The decrease in ETR was primarily due to a $2.7 billion IPR&D impairment taken in the first quarter of 2022 related to assets acquired by Gilead from Immunomedics Inc. that did not repeat in 2023. Non-GAAP ETR for the first quarter of 2023 was 18.9% compared to 18.4% for the same period in 2022.

"Evaxion made excellent progress across its core AI technologies for vaccine target discovery in 2022 and early 2023, validated through the progress in the pipeline," said Per Norlén, Chief Executive Officer of Evaxion. "Looking back on our accomplishments, I’d like to highlight the initial proof-of-concept clinical trials in melanoma for EVX-01 and EVX-02, developed using our PIONEER artificial intelligence (AI)-platform, and our next-generation immuno-oncology candidate, EVX-03, scheduled to begin clinical testing in Q4 2023. We also announced another proprietary AI technology, ObsERV, targeting endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), which is planned to be incorporated into our personalized cancer vaccines. Over the last six months, as we have refined our development strategy and business focus, re-aligned our organization and extended our cash runway, I am grateful to the outstanding work of the team and remain impressed by the strength of Evaxion’s core AI-science."

Per concluded, "We recently reported promising clinical results from the Phase 1/2a EVX-02 study in melanoma at the 2023 annual meeting for the American Association for Clinical Research (AACR) (Free AACR Whitepaper). Looking ahead to the rest of the year, we plan to report final Phase 1/2a results and interim Phase 2 data from the EVX-01 program in melanoma. In addition, we intend to initiate recruitment in a Phase 1 study with EVX-03 in Q4 2023. We look forward to inform the investment community and our key stakeholders with further updates on our progress throughout the year."

Pipeline Updates

Technology advances:
Novel ObsERV technology — In March 2023, Evaxion reported the discovery of a novel new source of antigens for personalized cancer immunotherapy, based on endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). The AI-enabled technology has the potential to make "cold" tumors responsive to immunotherapy, which has the potential to broaden the patient population for immunotherapy significantly.

Novel mRNA vaccine delivery collaboration with Pantherna — In February 2023, Evaxion and Pantherna announced promising mRNA vaccine data. The preclinical data demonstrated that tumor neoantigens identified by Evaxion’s AI PIONEER platform could drive a strong immune response and lead to complete inhibition of tumor growth when delivered using Pantherna’s proprietary mRNA platform.

Program Overview
EVX-01 (1st generation, Peptide based vaccine, Phase 2 in melanoma) – The ongoing single-arm, multi-center trial (NCT05309421) is evaluating EVX-01 for the treatment of adults with metastatic melanoma in combination with the [PD-1 inhibitor/checkpoint inhibitor/CPI], KEYTRUDA.

The Company plans to present a full read-out of the previous Phase 1/2a study in 12 patients at the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Annual Meeting in June 2023, in which interim data demonstrated clinical response in six out of the first nine patients.
The Phase 2 study, initiated in September 2022, is expected to enroll up to 20 patients and report interim data in Q4 2023.
EVX-02 (2nd generation, DNA-based vaccine, Phase 1/2a in melanoma) – The single-arm, open-label study (NCT04455503) evaluated EVX-02 in combination with the CPI, nivolumab, in patients with advanced melanoma who had undergone complete surgical resection and were at high risk for recurrence.

Data presented at the 2023 AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper) meeting showed that all 10 patients who completed the full course of dosing with the EVX-02/CPI combination were relapse-free during the 12-month study period. The treatment also produced neoantigen-specific long-lasting T-cell immune responses involving both CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells. The EVX-02/CPI treatment combination was well tolerated, and only mild EVX-02-associated adverse events (AEs) were observed.
EVX-03 (3rd generation, DNA-based vaccine, Phase 1 study expected to begin in Q4 2023) – EVX-03 is a DNA-based personalized cancer immunotherapy that combines patient-specific neoantigens with personalized ERVs. Bringing these personalized antigens together into a single plasmid construct, armed with a genetic immune adjuvant, will enable Evaxion to develop an immunotherapy with the potential for inducing a robust and patient-specific immune response and for increased efficacy.

A clinical trial authorization (CTA) filing with the European Medicines Agency to evaluate the combination of EVX-03 and a CPI is anticipated to be filed in Q3 2023 and the Phase 1 study is anticipated to begin in Q4 2023 in patients with solid tumors.
Infectious diseases programs: based on Evaxion’s EDEN and RAVEN technologies

Technology advances:
EVX-B1 (S. aureus, preclinical) – Evaxion has demonstrated significant protection from S. aureus infection in both sepsis and skin infection models. The next step for this partnering-ready program is IND-enabling toxicology studies.

EVX-B2 (N. gonorrhoeae, preclinical) – In June 2022, Evaxion announced gonorrhea as a new bacterial vaccine candidate for N. gonorrhoeae. In September 2022, Evaxion announced that the Company, in collaboration with the UMass Chan Medical School, had received a grant from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) for the development of a lead vaccine candidate.

EVX-V1 (Cytomegavirus/CMV, preclinical) – In December 2022, Evaxion and ExpreS²ion initiated the discovery phase of a joint research collaboration to develop a next generation CMV vaccine candidate that elicits both cellular and humoral antibody responses; this phase will be jointly funded until 2025. After that, the parties could expand the research collaboration into a Development and Commercialization agreement.

Expected milestones in 2023

Q2 2023 – Full readout EVX-01 Phase 1/2a – to be presented at ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) in June 2023
Q4 2023 – Report interim results from EVX-01 Phase 2 trial
Q4 2023 – Initiate patient recruitment in a Phase 1 study for EVX-03
Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Cash position: As of December 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were $13.2 million as compared to $32.2 million as of December 31, 2021. This along with capital raised in Q1 2023 of $4.2 million, is anticipated to be sufficient to fund operations into December 2023.
Research and Development expenses were $17.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to $19.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily related to a decrease in spending on clinical trials, net of grant income and preclinical product candidates countered by an increase in employee-related costs.
General and Administrative expenses were $8.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily related to professional fees incurred by the corporate functions as a listed company.
Net loss was $23.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 or ($0.98) loss per basic and diluted share as compared to $24.5 million, or ($1.26) loss per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Based on the Company’s current cash position, with a cash runway until beginning of December and the need for further funding, our auditors EY have provided an emphasis of matter in their auditors report that there exists substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Elicio Therapeutics Announces First Patient Dosed in Phase 1/2 Study of Lymph Node-Targeted Investigational Therapeutic Vaccine ELI-002 7P (AMPLIFY-7P) in KRAS/NRAS Mutated Solid Tumors

On April 27, 2023 Elicio Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a pipeline of novel immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and other diseases, reported the first patient has been dosed in the Phase 1/2 study of ELI-002 7P (AMPLIFY-7P) in KRAS/NRAS mutated solid tumors at Northwell Health Cancer Institute and the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, New York (Press release, Elicio Therapeutics, APR 27, 2023, View Source [SID1234630604]).

ELI-002 7P is an investigational therapeutic cancer vaccine that was created with Elicio’s proprietary lymph node-targeting Amphiphile (AMP) technology to treat cancers driven by seven common mutations in KRAS representing 25% of all solid tumors. Most other KRAS-targeted therapeutics in development — particularly small molecule KRAS inhibitors — target fewer mutations, potentially limiting the number of patients that can be treated.

Interim data from the AMPLIFY-201 study evaluating the 2-peptide formulation of ELI-002 in mKRAS pancreatic and colorectal cancer patients including the effects of dose on proof-of-concept safety, antitumor biomarkers, relapse-free survival, and immune mechanism of action endpoints is anticipated to be presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Annual Meeting in June 2023.

"This key milestone highlights our expansion to more of the patient population with common KRAS and NRAS mutations who could potentially benefit from smart vaccines that engage the lymph node, the ‘brain center’ of the immune response," said Christopher Haqq, M.D., Ph.D., Elicio’s Executive Vice President, Head of Research and Development, and Chief Medical Officer. "Our clinical experience with AMP vaccines will be important to rapidly advance the development of broad-spectrum ELI-002 7P, targeting seven mutations G12D, G12V, G12R, G12C, G12S, G12A and G13D in patients with high relapse risk, KRAS-driven, cancers who have minimal residual disease following surgery and chemotherapy."

Robert Connelly, Elicio’s Chief Executive Officer, added, "The dosing of the first patient in AMPLIFY-7P, our second ongoing clinical trial, is a testament to the dedication of our team and study collaborators in exploring the potential of ELI-002 as a universal, all-stage immunotherapeutic for treating and preventing mKRAS-driven tumors. We believe there is a path for its use as a monotherapy and a combination therapy in different clinical settings, so we intend to move quickly, conducting a safety run-in bridging from the 2-peptide to the 7-peptide formulations before initiating the Phase 1b and randomized Phase 2 studies, which we hope will inform our plans for a combination trial and provide supporting evidence for expedited development pathways with regulatory agencies."

The current standard of care for patients who remain positive for a biomarker following surgery and initial treatment is observation to monitor for relapse, which has a near certain probability of occurring. In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients who have positive circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) post-surgery, relapse occurs in 80%–85% of cases despite ‘curative’ resection with a median time of 9.9 months to recurrence. In colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who have positive ctDNA post-surgery, radiologic recurrence was detected in approximately 79% of cases with a Kaplan Meier estimate of 0% survival at 3 years. These relapse and recurrence rates highlight the great unmet need for novel therapies in this window of opportunity where patients are being monitored for progression by CT scans and standard therapies have already been completed.

About AMPLIFY-7P

AMPLIFY-7P (NCT05726864) is a Phase 1/2 study to assess the efficacy of ELI-002 7P a therapeutic cancer vaccine containing seven KRAS and NRAS peptide-based antigens (G12D, G12R, G12V, G12A, G12C, G12S, G13D). This study builds on existing data obtained from the ongoing AMPLIFY-201 trial. In Phase 1a the recommended Phase 2 dose of the immune stimulatory oligonucleotide (Amph-CpG-7909) will be evaluated in combination with two different dose levels of the seven-peptide formulation. Completion of Phase 1a will inform the recommended dose for Phase 1b and Phase 2 for ELI-002 7P. Phase 1b will feature three dose expansion cohorts and will evaluate preliminary evidence of biomarker response. The Phase 2 portion of the study will enroll additional patients and will be randomized 2:1 (ELI-002 7P vs observation) to further evaluate anti-tumor activity and will seek to determine whether ELI-002 7P improves relapse-free survival. Subjects randomized to the observation group will receive the same safety and efficacy evaluations and will also be able to elect to cross-over to ELI-002 7P treatment if disease progression is confirmed.
