Bellicum Announces Interim BPX-601 Data and Corporate Restructuring

On October 29, 2020 Bellicum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:BLCM), a leader in developing novel, controllable cellular immunotherapies for cancers, reported interim data from its BPX-601 dose-escalation clinical trial in patients with relapsed/refractory metastatic pancreatic cancer (Press release, Bellicum Pharmaceuticals, OCT 29, 2020, View Source [SID1234569369]). Findings from the first four patients treated with BPX-601 followed by repeat rimiducid dosing showed evidence of rimiducid-mediated CAR-T cell activation. Clinically meaningful efficacy as measured by RECIST criteria was not observed.

After an extensive review of its organization and programs, the company has implemented a restructuring plan, including a reduction in staff, to focus its efforts on its clinical GoCAR-T product candidates. For BPX-601, the first candidate incorporating iMC, the company expects to begin enrolling patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in the ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial before the end of the year and intends to review its plans in pancreatic cancer upon completion of the current safety cohort. For BPX-603, the company’s first dual-switch GoCAR-T candidate, Bellicum expects to initiate enrollment of patients with HER2+ solid tumors in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial also by the end of the year. In order to preserve operating capital for these clinical trials, the company plans to pause development of its BCMA GoCAR-NK program.

"The results we have observed in the BPX-601 study are encouraging in terms of safety and GoCAR-T cell activation, proliferation, and persistence. We are eager to investigate our technology further in new tumor types like mCRPC and against established target antigens like HER2," said Rick Fair, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bellicum. "We have concluded that Bellicum must reduce spending on preclinical programs and shift its resources to enable achievement of meaningful milestones in the clinic. We regret the impact this unavoidable decision will have on our departing employees and we sincerely thank them for their contributions and dedication."

Interim BPX-601 Data

As of July 9, 2020, four patients were treated with 5×106 BPX-601 cells/kg followed by 2-11 doses of rimiducid in cohort 5C of the Phase 1 dose escalation clinical trial. Interim results include the following observations:

Administration of BPX-601 and repeat doses of rimiducid was tolerated as follows:

No treatment-related adverse events ³Grade 2 were observed in these four patients; one treatment-related SAE (Grade 4 cytokine release syndrome) was reported in a patient treated after data cutoff

One genitourinary adverse event was reported (Grade 1 intermittent hematuria)

Four events of Grade 1 neurotoxicity (neurotoxicity, dysgraphia, and confusion x2) were reported in two patients

The safety profile observed was otherwise consistent with previous reports

Best Overall Response in these patients included 3 stable disease and 1 progressive disease

Evidence of repeat rimiducid-mediated CAR-T cell activation was observed as follows:

Rimiducid administration was associated with increased serum cytokine levels, including IL-5, TNF-α, and IFN-g

Rimiducid treatment was also associated with increased expression of activation markers (e.g. CD25) on peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, indicative of systemic immune modulation via BPX-601 iMC activation

In two evaluable subjects receiving >2 doses of rimiducid, repeat rimiducid dosing was not shown to increase the peak or AUC of circulating BPX-601 cells relative to single-dose rimiducid

Consistent with previous cohorts, rimiducid administration was associated with a transient decline followed by partial recovery in circulating BPX-601 cells

Corporate Restructuring

Under the restructuring program, the company will focus on the clinical development of BPX-601 and BPX-603, pause the BCMA GoCAR-NK program, and discontinue discovery research and new product development. Staff will be reduced by 79%, from 68 to 14 full-time employees by the end of 2020, and Bellicum expects to incur severance expenses of approximately $2.5 million. The company also intends to pay down all of its Oxford Finance debt obligations using cash on hand with payment of $27.4 million in principal plus applicable fees and accrued interest on or before October 30, 2020. These actions are expected to reduce the company’s expenses and extend its cash runway. The company now expects annual cash utilization of $25 to $30 million.

"Tilsotolimod is the most advanced TLR-9 agonist therapy in development, and we have made tremendous strides against our objectives for 2020," stated Vincent Milano, Idera’s Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to work diligently against our timelines for ILLUMINATE-301, which currently remain on track for data in the first quarter of 2021. In addition, our recent patent and allowed application for tilsotolimod method-of-use in colorectal and head and neck cancers as well as the continuation of ILLUMINATE-206 reinforce our ‘beyond melanoma’ strategy. We also have the financing to help our outstanding team continue to execute these key objectives."

Corporate Update

Since June 30, 2020, the following corporate updates were announced:

·The Company entered into a private placement of up to $20.0 million, with $5.1 million received in July 2020. The Company anticipates that its current cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments will fund our operations through the second quarter of 2021. With this private placement, the Company has now entered into three financing vehicles since December 2019, which it believes could provide proceeds of up to $118.2 million to fund the potential NDA filing and commercial launch of tilsotolimod.
·The Company received a new U.S. Patent and allowed application for tilsotolimod, providing exclusivity through September 2037 when intratumoral tilsotolimod is used with certain immune checkpoint inhibitors in treating colorectal cancer (CRC) and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

ILLUMINATE (tilsotolimod) Clinical Development Updates

ILLUMINATE-301: Randomized phase 3 trial of tilsotolimod in combination with Yervoy* (ipilimumab) versus Yervoy alone in patients with anti-PD-1 refractory advanced melanoma:

•Primary endpoint family of overall response rate (ORR) by blinded independent central review using RECIST v1.1 and overall survival (OS);
•Trial initiated in March 2018;
•Enrollment completed in March 2020; and
•ORR and other preliminary data expected in the first quarter of 2021.

ILLUMINATE-206: Phase 2, open-label, multicohort, multicenter study to test the safety and effectiveness of tilsotolimod in combination with Yervoy and Opdivo* (nivolumab) for the treatment of solid tumors:

·Trial initiated in September 2019 with the microsatellite stable colorectal cancer (MSS-CRC) cohort;
·Initial safety run-in of 10 patients, which included Yervoy at 1 mg/kg every 8 weeks and Opdivo at 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks, showed that the regimen was generally well tolerated;
·Changes in the study design intended to improve potential outcomes in this patient population include increasing Yervoy dosing frequency to every 3 weeks and limiting the number of allowed prior lines of treatment to 2; and
·The Company has opened enrollment for the next 10 patients under the modified study design, with data anticipated in the second quarter of 2021.

ILLUMINATE-204: Phase 1/2 trial of tilsotolimod in combination with Yervoy or Keytruda± (pembrolizumab) in patients with anti-PD-1 refractory advanced melanoma:

·Final results from the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of 8 mg of tilsotolimod in combination with Yervoy, which is the treatment regimen being evaluated in the Company’s registrational trial, ILLUMINATE-301, were shared in a Mini Oral presentation at the ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper) Virtual Congress in September 2020.

Third Quarter Financial Results

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020, totaled $4.8 million compared to $8.4 million for the same period in 2019. General and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020, totaled $2.7 million compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2019. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded $0.7 million and $12.4 million non-cash warrant revaluation loss and non-cash future tranche right revaluation loss, respectively, related to securities issued in connection with our December 2019 private placement transaction.

As a result of the factors above, net loss applicable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2020, was $20.6 million, or $0.59 per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss applicable to common stockholders of $11.1 million, or $0.39 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2019. Excluding the non-cash loss of approximately $13.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, related to the securities issued in connection with the December 2019 private placement transaction, net loss applicable to common stockholders was $7.5 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share (calculated based upon the basic weighted-average number of common shares, due to the antidilutive effect of net loss).

As of September 30, 2020, our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaled $29.0 million. Based on our current operating plan, we anticipate that our current cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, will fund our operations through the second quarter of 2021.

•Positive somatrogon Phase 3 topline results reported from crossover pediatric study. A global Phase 3 study of somatrogon administered once-weekly to children 3 to <18 years of age with growth hormone deficiency met its primary objective of improved treatment burden compared to daily injection of Genotropin as measured by the mean overall Life Interference total score after 12 weeks of treatment.

•Somatrogon global regulatory submissions: Pfizer remains on schedule with respect to its regulatory submissions for marketing approval of somatrogon for children with growth hormone deficiency in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of this year and in Europe and Japan in the first half of 2021.

•RAYALDEE has received marketing authorizations in seven European countries. Vifor Fresenius Medical Care Renal Pharma, OPKO’s commercial partner for RAYALDEE in Europe, has received marketing authorizations for RAYALDEE for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in adults with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) and vitamin D insufficiency in the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Ireland, Denmark and the Netherlands. Market authorizations from Spain, Portugal, Italy and Switzerland are still pending. Market launch of RAYALDEE in authorized countries is expected to begin next year.
•RAYALDEE total prescriptions reported by IQVIA increased 13% compared with the third quarter of 2019. Total prescriptions for the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased to approximately 16,700, compared with approximately 14,800 for the third quarter of 2019. During the third quarter of 2020, demand for RAYALDEE was impacted by challenges in onboarding new patients because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

•RAYALDEE Phase 2 clinical trial initiated in patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19. OPKO initiated a Phase 2 clinical trial with RAYALDEE as a treatment for mild to moderate COVID-19. The trial, "A Randomized, Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of RAYALDEE (calcifediol) Extended-release Capsules to Treat Symptomatic Patients Infected with SARS-CoV-2 (REsCue)," is expected to enroll approximately 160 subjects, many with stage 3 or 4 CKD who are at increased risk for developing more severe illness. The REsCue trial will randomize COVID-19 outpatients in a 1:1 ratio to 4 weeks of treatment with RAYALDEE or placebo, and 2 weeks of follow-up. Primary efficacy endpoints are raising and maintaining serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin D within the range of 50-100 ng/mL and time to resolution of COVID-19 symptoms. Numerous independent studies report a correlation between vitamin D status and COVID-19 risk and severity.

•GeneDx enters into agreement with Pediatrix Medical Group to offer neonatal genomic services. In August 2020, BRL’s GeneDx subsidiary announced an agreement with Pediatrix Medical Group, the nation’s leading provider of maternal-fetal, and pediatric medical and surgical subspecialty physician services, to offer state-of-the-art, next-generation genomic sequencing to support clinical diagnosis in neonatal intensive care units staffed by neonatologists affiliated with Pediatrix.

OnkoSight Advanced NGS testing provides targeted gene content that is aligned with the latest National Comprehensive Cancer Network and World Health Organization guideline recommendations to provide critical insight into many of the most common cancer types. Each OnkoSight Advanced panel includes key biomarkers – Tumor Mutation Burden and Tumor-Only Microsatellite, critical when profiling advanced-stage malignancies to guide potential immunotherapy.

Third Quarter Financial Results

•Net income for the third quarter of 2020 was $23.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $62.0 million, or $0.11 per share, for the comparable period of 2019. Consolidated revenues for the third quarter of 2020 were $428.1 million compared with $228.8 million for the comparable period of 2019.
•Diagnostics: Revenue from services in the third quarter of 2020 was $392.5 million compared with $181.1 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to increased COVID-19 testing volumes, partially offset by reduced clinical and genomic test volumes related to the pandemic and lower clinical and genomic test reimbursement. In addition, the Company received a $10.0 million grant from the CARES Act in the third quarter. Total costs and expenses were $346.4 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared with $197.5 million in the third quarter of 2019. This increase represents higher volumes from both COVID-19 testing and from the core testing business. Operating income was $46.2 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared with an operating loss of $16.4 million in the prior-year period, an improvement of $62.5 million.
•Pharmaceuticals: Revenue from products in the third quarter of 2020 was $28.7 million compared with $26.2 million in the third quarter of 2019, with the increase primarily attributable to higher sales at OPKO Chile and an increase in net sales of RAYALDEE to $8.1 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared with $7.4 million in the prior-year period. Revenue from transfer of intellectual property was $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared with $20.7 million in the third quarter of 2019 reflecting a decrease in the amortization of payments received from Pfizer with respect to somatrogon. Total costs and expenses were $49.9 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared with $61.1 million in the prior-year period, with the decline primarily attributable to lower research and development expenses due to the completion of the pediatric human growth hormone Phase 3 trial. The operating loss was $14.4 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared with $14.2 million in the third quarter of 2019.
•Cash and equivalents: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $36.3 million as of September 30, 2020, which reflects the repayment, in full, of its line of credit with JP Morgan utilizing cash generated from operations of $63.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020. In addition, the Company has availability under its line of credit with JP Morgan of $64.7 million and an unutilized $100 million credit facility that provides access to incremental capital on a non-dilutive basis.
