"In reflecting on the past quarter of events, I want to acknowledge and thank the dedicated health care providers worldwide who have been treating patients during this unprecedented time," said Athena Countouriotis, M.D., president and chief executive officer. "As we have adapted to manage our business, we are appreciative of their efforts for the health and well-being of patients.

"Despite a very challenging environment in the first quarter, I am pleased with our recent Fast Track designation for repotrectinib based on Phase 1 TRIDENT-1 ROS1+ TKI Naïve NSCLC data which included an update to the duration of response, duration of treatment, and new progression free survival data; and the progress our team made advancing our programs, including our global registrational Phase 2 clinical study of repotrectinib. Site activations continued, with enrollment progressing across our four ongoing clinical trials.

"As it relates to COVID-19, we took action during the first quarter to implement multiple steps in response to the pandemic, including remote site activation and data monitoring; enabling patients to have routine tests conducted closer to home and allowing sites to evaluate certain patients remotely, in compliance with their local procedures. We are also evaluating additional sites for participation in our TRIDENT-1 study.

"Despite these interventions, we have more recently started to experience delays in trial site initiations and patient enrollment within the Phase 2 TRIDENT-1 study. We are also closely watching the progress in our other studies and believe the extent of the impact on our pipeline will depend on the continued duration and severity of the pandemic.

"We continue to anticipate providing data updates from our registrational Phase 2 TRIDENT-1 and TPX-0022 trials in the second half of 2020. For TRIDENT-1, we are currently monitoring the overall study conduct and data collection to be in a position to potentially provide this update in the third quarter. We anticipate the update will include preliminary efficacy and safety data from approximately 30 to 40 patients across multiple Phase 2 cohorts, including registrational and exploratory cohorts. For TPX-0022 we anticipate our update will be primarily a safety update as well as any early efficacy signals as we continue through our dose escalation cohorts."

First quarter and recent highlights include:

The company announced today that repotrectinib has been granted Fast Track designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of ROS1-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who have not been previously treated with a ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). In January, repotrectinib was granted Fast Track designation for the treatment of ROS1-positive advanced NSCLC patients who had been previously treated with one prior line of platinum-based chemotherapy and one prior line of a ROS1 TKI, a setting where there are currently no approved targeted therapies.

Fast Track Designation granted in ROS1+ TKI-naive patients. In the Phase 1 portion of TRIDENT-1, utilizing the 22 July 2019 data cut-off date with a median follow-up of 20.1 months (range: 5.3 to 24.9+), repotrectinib demonstrated a confirmed overall response rate (ORR) by blinded independent central review (BICR) of 91 percent (N=11, 95% CI: 59–100) in patients with ROS1+ advanced NSCLC who are ROS1 TKI-naïve. Repotrectinib demonstrated a median duration of response (DOR) of 23.1 months (95% CI: 5.6–NR) (based on Kaplan-Meier estimation). The probability of patients with a DOR ≥ 9 months, ≥ 12 months and ≥ 18 months was 78 percent, 65 percent, and 65 percent, respectively. Also, repotrectinib showed a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 24.6 months (95% CI: 7.2–NR). With an additional 8.5 months of follow-up as of 6 April 2020, 4 of the 5 responding patients remained in a PR (partial response) per physician assessment data since the 22 July 2019 data cutoff and the duration of treatment ranged from 9.2 to 34.2+ months with 7 of the total 11 (64%) patients remaining on repotrectinib.
All 7 (64%) remain on treatment for more than 17 months,
6 (55%) on treatment for more than 24 months, and
3 (27%) on treatment for more than 30 months at the time of the analysis

Repotrectinib has demonstrated CNS activity among patients with ROS1+ advanced NSCLC who are ROS1 TKI-naïve, with an intracranial objective response rate (IC-ORR) of 100% (3 of 3 patients, 95% CI: 29–100) with durations of response, as of the 22 July 2019 data cut-off, of 14.8+, 17.6+ and 23.1 months. All three of these patients remain on treatment, as of 6 April 2020, for 26.0+, 28.5+ and 34.2+ months.

Ongoing site activations and enrollment in the Phase 2 registrational portion of the TRIDENT-1 study of repotrectinib, with approximately 50 percent of planned sites now active in 11 countries. The study is now planned at up to 120 global sites with enrollment of approximately 320 ROS1-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and NTRK-positive advanced solid tumor patients.

Ongoing progress in the Phase 1/2 open-label study to assess repotrectinib in pediatric patients with ALK-, NTRK- or ROS1-positive advanced solid tumors; the Phase 1 study of TPX-0022, Turning Point’s MET/CSF1R/SRC inhibitor; and Phase 1/2 study of TPX-0046, Turning Point’s RET/SRC inhibitor. Both the TPX-0022 and TPX-0046 trials continue dose escalation based on real time pharmacokinetic data evaluation and enrollment includes both TKI-naïve and -pretreated patients across both studies.

Acceptance of multiple abstracts for poster presentations at the ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) and AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper) virtual annual meetings. The ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) presentation is expected to highlight preclinical data for TPX-0046 and the AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper) presentations are planned to highlight preclinical repotrectinib combination data and TPX-0131 preclinical data.

Recent publication in the AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper) journal Clinical Cancer Research of repotrectinib preclinical data and patient case studies from the Phase 1 portion of TRIDENT-1. The publication highlighted potent antitumor activity of repotrectinib in treatment-naïve and solvent-front mutation ROS1-rearranged NSCLC. In addition, repotrectinib demonstrated significant reduction of brain lesions in an intracranial tumor model.
First Quarter Financial Update
Operating expenses for the first quarter totaled $62.6 million, which included $38.4 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense. The non-cash stock-based compensation expenses included a one-time charge of $31.4 million associated with previously disclosed modifications to the vesting of existing stock options, pursuant to the transition agreement with the company’s scientific founder. Excluding this one-time charge, non-GAAP operating expenses in the first quarter totaled $31.2 million compared to GAAP operating expenses of $14.1 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $23.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Primary drivers of the year-over-year increase were investments made to develop repotrectinib, TPX-0022 and TPX-0046, as well as personnel expenses.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at Mar. 31 totaled $380.8 million, a decrease of $28.4 million from Dec. 31, 2019. The company projects its cash position funds current operations into 2022.

Upcoming Milestones
Key milestones anticipated through 2020 include:

Presenting preclinical data for TPX-0046, the company’s novel RET/SRC inhibitor, as a poster presentation during the ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) virtual annual meeting on May 29.

Presenting preclinical repotrectinib combination data and preclinical data for TPX-0131, the company’s novel ALK inhibitor, during the AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper) virtual annual meeting in late June.

First-Line Combination Pancreatic Cancer moves into expansion phase prior to COVID-19 pause During the first quarter of 2020, the Company completed enrollment in an added fourth cohort that was intended to study a dose schedule more conveniently aligned with the standard gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel regimen, and immediately began enrollment of subjects in the expansion phase of this clinical trial. This trial, a Phase 1a/1b combination of SBP-101 with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in patients previously untreated for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma ("PDA"), is being conducted at sites in the United States and Australia.

In early April 2020, as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the conduct of clinical trials around the world, the Company announced a pause in enrollment of new patients. Patients already enrolled in the clinical trial continue to be treated, and the Company intends to resume recruitment in the near future.

"We continue to monitor the situation in communities where our trial is in progress," noted Michael Cullen, MD, Executive Chairman, President and CEO. "We expect to resume enrollment in the second quarter; that timeline is dependent on the course of the pandemic.

" Financial Results for the Three months ending March 31, 2020

Operating Results

General and administrative ("G&A") expenses increased 54.5% to $468,000 in the first quarter of 2020, up from $303,000 in the first quarter of 2019. The increase is due to resumption of normal salary levels following a voluntary reduction of salaries for a part of the first quarter of 2019, in addition to higher stock compensation and legal expenses. Research and development ("R&D") expenses increased 70.9% to $598,000 in the first quarter of 2020, up from $350,000 in the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to an increase in clinical trial costs.

Other net expenses were $824,000 and $999,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The net expense in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 is composed primarily of a foreign currency exchange loss on the intercompany receivable balance. The net expense in the quarter ended March 31, 2019 is primarily the amortization of debt discount on convertible notes sold in December 2018 and January 2019, all of which converted into equity securities in 2019.

Net loss in the first quarter of 2020 was $1.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2019.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Total cash was $1.3 million and $2.4 million as of March 31,2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Total current assets were $2.1 million and $3.1 million as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. Current liabilities decreased to $1.4 million as of March 31, 2020, compared to $1.8 million as of December 31, 2019, primarily as a result of payments made on vendor balances.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $0.8 million in the same period of the prior year. The net cash used in each of these periods primarily reflected the net loss for these periods and was partially offset by the effects of changes in operating assets and liabilities.

About SBP-101
SBP-101 is a first-in-class, proprietary, polyamine analogue designed to induce polyamine metabolic inhibition (PMI), exploiting a high affinity for the compound specific to the exocrine pancreas and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Sun BioPharma originally licensed SBP-101 from the University of Florida Research Foundation in 2011. The molecule has shown signals of efficacy in US and Australian metastatic pancreatic cancer patients, demonstrating complementary activity with an existing FDA-approved chemotherapy regimen. SBP-101 is expected to differ from current pancreatic cancer therapies in that it does not appear to exacerbate the typical adverse events of bone marrow suppression and peripheral neuropathy. Management believes that SBP-101 may effectively treat patients with primary and metastatic pancreatic cancer, and may be effective in combination with other agents, and in other types of cancer. The safety and PMI profile demonstrated in Sun BioPharma’s current clinical trialsupport evaluation of the compound in a randomized clinical trial.

Invivoscribe developed the LeukoStrat CDx FLT3 Mutation Assay in partnership with Astellas as the companion diagnostic supporting use of gilteritinib to treat adult patients with relapsed/ refractory FLT3-mutated AML.

"This is an announcement of two significant milestones: Submission of our LeukoStrat CDx Assay to the NMPA, and the expansion of our laboratory network into China. The submission itself is a milestone that builds on the LeukoStrat CDx FLT3 Mutation Assay as the international gold standard signal ratio assay for comprehensive assessment of activating mutations in the FLT3 gene; one of the most important biomarkers in AML", said Jeffrey Miller, Invivoscribe’s CSO and CEO. "Further, the expansion of our company to include a laboratory was done to provide comprehensive test support for our partners conducting trials in China. Testing will include simultaneous assessment of minimal residual disease by both flow cytometry and next-generation sequencing technologies conducted on exactly the same subject specimen. These paired analyses have been requested by regulatory authorities and partners, but have been missing in clinical studies. Invivoscribe’s LabPMM laboratories will bring this long-desired capability to fruition in our laboratories in China, Japan, Europe, and the US."

The LeukoStrat CDx FLT3 Mutation Assay is the only internationally standardized signal ratio assay that identifies both ITD and TKD mutations of the FLT3 biomarker. It has been approved as a companion diagnostic by regulatory authorities in the US, Australia, and Japan, and is available as a CE-marked kit in Europe and Switzerland. The LeukoStrat CDx FLT3 Mutation Assay served as the companion diagnostic in the ADMIRAL, RATIFY and QuANTUM-R clinical trials, which supported approvals of gilteritinib (XOSPATA), midostaurin (RYDAPT) and quizartinib (VANFLYTA). The assay is available both as a service and as a kit. LeukoStrat CDx FLT3 Mutation Assay test services are available from LabPMM locations in Japan, Germany, and the United States.
