"Through the quarter, we continued to execute on our plan with great progress across all our programs within the BioTime family of companies. We are particularly encouraged by the early data reported on Renevia and OpRegen. Both Asterias and OncoCyte also reported promising data from their clinical trials," said Adi Mohanty, Co-Chief Executive Officer. "For the remainder of the year and into 2017, we expect to achieve a substantial number of value-enhancing milestones, including additional efficacy and safety data from the second and third patient cohorts in the OpRegen clinical trial, and pivotal data and potential CE mark approval for Renevia in Europe."

Third Quarter and Recent Accomplishments

Clinical Progress

OpRegen (retinal pigment epithelial cells)

The ongoing Phase I/IIa clinical trial is evaluating the safety of three different dosage regimens of OpRegen in the advanced form of dry age-related macular degeneration (Dry-AMD). Dry-AMD is a condition for which there is currently no FDA-approved therapy. Preliminary data from the first cohort of patients treated in this trial of OpRegen resulted in no serious adverse events. Imaging data from the first patient who completed one-year of post-treatment clinical assessment may indicate that the graft can survive for at least 12 months. These and other data will be presented at the International Symposium on Ocular Pharmacology and Therapeutics (ISOPT), on December 2, in Rome, Italy.
Enrollment in the second cohort, in which patients are receiving a higher and more clinically meaningful 200,000 cell dose, is expected to be complete by year end 2016, and data are expected early in 2017.
Additional data, from the third cohort, which is expected to commence before year end, is anticipated by the end of 2017.
US clinical trial sites are expected to be announced in early 2017.
Renevia (adipose cells + cell delivery matrix)

The Renevia pivotal clinical trial for HIV-related facial lipoatrophy continues to enroll new patients and is on track to complete patient enrollment by the end of 2016. The objective of the trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of Renevia in restoring normal skin contours in patients whose subcutaneous fat has been lost due to antiviral drug treatment for HIV. BioTime expects top-line efficacy data in the first half of 2017. If the data are positive, the company plans to submit an application for CE mark approval in Europe shortly thereafter.
Positive data from the pivotal trial could provide support for future studies of Renevia in certain broader applications of fat tissue deficits. These include various medical aesthetics applications, such as age-related and trauma-related facial fat loss.
AST-OPC1 (oligodendrocyte progenitor cells)

In September, BioTime’s affiliate Asterias Biotherapeutics, Inc. (NYSE MKT: AST), announced positive data from the AST-OPC1 SCiSTAR Phase 1/2a clinical study in patients with complete cervical spinal cord injuries. All patients in the initial cohort who received 10 million AST-OPC1 cells showed at least one motor level of improvement (regaining some function in their arms), while two of five patients achieved two motor levels of improvement (regaining some function in their arms, hands and fingers) on at least one side of their body. The data were presented at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the International Spinal Cord Society (ISCoS) in Vienna, Austria.
Six-month efficacy data on this first cohort are expected to be announced in January 2017. Enrollment is also ongoing in a new cohort in which patients are receiving a higher dose of 20 million cells.
OncoCyte (non-invasive cancer diagnostics)

In August, BioTime’s subsidiary OncoCyte Corporation (NYSE MKT: OCX) closed a financing with both new and existing investors, providing OncoCyte with gross proceeds of $10.55 million, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses.
Data was presented related to OncoCyte’s lead product, a confirmatory diagnostic for lung cancer screening. OncoCyte expects to complete the study by year end and, if successful, could launch the product by mid-year 2017.
Research and Development

In August, BioTime strengthened its regenerative medicine intellectual property portfolio with the issuance of 31 new patents. This included nine in the U.S. and 22 in Australia, Canada, China, India, Israel, and Japan. The new patents supplement the existing portfolio of more than 700 patents and patent applications owned or licensed by the BioTime family of companies worldwide.
Management Team

In October, BioTime strengthened its senior management team with the appointment of Jim Knight as Senior Vice President, Head of Corporate Development. Mr. Knight is a highly accomplished professional with an extensive skill set and knowledge that is applicable immediately, as the company has started reporting encouraging early clinical data on its key programs.

AMAG Pharmaceuticals Reports Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

On November 3, 2016 AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMAG) reported unaudited consolidated financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016. Total revenue for the third quarter of 2016 increased approximately 50% to $143.8 million (Filing, Q3, AMAG Pharmaceuticals, 2016, NOV 3, 2016, View Source [SID1234516181]). This increase was driven by record sales of Makena and the recognition of a full quarter of revenue from Cord Blood Registry (CBR), which was acquired by AMAG on August 17, 2015. The company reported third quarter 2016 operating income of $38.8 million and net income of $16.2 million. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2016 increased to $76.2 million1, or 44%, versus the same period in 2015. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2016 increased to $61.8 million1, or 46%, versus the same period in 2015.

"We executed well against our key priorities in the third quarter, delivering strong financial results and hitting key milestones in our next-generation development programs," stated William Heiden, AMAG’s chief executive officer. "Our Makena subcutaneous auto-injector program is on-track for an sNDA filing in the second quarter of next year and the Feraheme sNDA submission seeking approval of a broader label has been accelerated to mid-year 2017."

"We have updated the company’s financial guidance based on our fourth quarter expectations of continued strong top and bottom line performance, building on our successes achieved in the third quarter," Mr. Heiden continued.

Third Quarter 2016 and Recent Business Highlights
• Delivered total revenue of $143.8 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared with $96.2 million in the same period last year. This increase of approximately 50% was driven by record sales of Makena and the recognition of a full quarter of revenue from CBR.
• Achieved Makena sales of $93.4 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared with $65.2 million in the same period last year. Makena’s robust sales growth of 43% was driven exclusively by an increase in volume. This growth resulted in Makena market share of 41%, four percentage points over the second quarter of 2016 and an 11 percentage point gain year-to-date.
• Generated 1.8% growth to $29.9 million1 in non-GAAP revenue from CBR over the second quarter of 2016 due to improved net revenue per new customer. In addition, enrollments were higher versus the second quarter of 2016.
• Reported $22.3 million in Feraheme sales, maintaining market share in the intravenous iron market, which experienced a slight decline in the third quarter of 2016.

See summaries of GAAP to non-GAAP adjustments at the conclusion of this press release.

• Achieved key milestones in the Makena subcutaneous auto-injector development program. The company dosed first subjects in both the definitive pharmacokinetic study and comparative pain study. Data from each of these studies is intended to support the supplemental new drug application (sNDA) that the company plans to file with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the second quarter of 2017.
• Continued to enroll patients more rapidly than expected in the company’s head-to-head, Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Feraheme in adults with iron deficiency anemia (IDA). The company is seeking to broaden Feraheme’s current label beyond its chronic kidney disease (CKD) indication to include all adult IDA patients who have failed or cannot tolerate oral iron treatment. The timeline to anticipated approval has been shortened by approximately six months as a result of the trial’s rapid enrollment, which has accelerated the company’s expected sNDA submission date to mid-2017.
• Generated an increase of $147.7 million in cash and investments in the first nine months of 2016 to $614.1 million, net of $20.0 million utilized to repurchase the company’s common stock and $13.1 million to repay debt.

Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2016 (unaudited)
Financial Results (GAAP Basis)
Total revenues for the third quarter of 2016 were $143.8 million, compared with $96.2 million in the third quarter of 2015. This increase is related to record sales of Makena and the recognition of a full quarter of revenue from CBR, which was acquired by AMAG on August 17, 2015. Net product sales of Makena increased to $93.4 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared with $65.2 million in the same period last year. This 43% growth in Makena sales was primarily driven by the successful launch of the single-dose, preservative-free formulation and strong growth in the company’s Makena @Home program. Sales of Feraheme and MuGard totaled $22.4 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared with $23.8 million in the third quarter of 2015. Service revenue from CBR totaled $28.0 million in the third quarter of 2016, as compared to $7.2 million in the third quarter of 2015.

Total costs and expenses, including costs of product sales and services, totaled $105.0 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared with $97.5 million for the same period in 2015. The increase in operating expenses in 2016 was related to: (i) higher research and development expenses for the company’s next generation development programs, (ii) higher selling, general and administrative expenses due to the recognition of a full quarter of CBR-related expenses, and (iii) higher non-cash amortization of the Makena intangible asset. These increases were partially offset by expenses in the third quarter of 2015 that did not recur in 2016 related to an upfront payment for AMAG’s exclusive option to acquire rights to a development stage asset to treat severe preeclampsia (Velo) and CBR-related acquisition costs.

Third quarter 2016 operating income totaled $38.8 million, compared with a $1.4 million loss in the third quarter of last year. The company reported net income of $16.2 million, or $0.47 per basic share and $0.43 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2016, compared with a net loss of $20.6 million, or $0.62 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2015.

Balance Sheet Highlights
The company’s cash, cash equivalents and investments increased by $147.7 million in the first nine months of 2016 to approximately $614.1 million, net of $20.0 million utilized to repurchase the company’s common stock and $13.1 million to repay debt. Total debt (principal amount outstanding), including $200 million of convertible debt, was approximately $1.03 billion as of September 30, 2016. For the 12 months ended September 30, 2016, sales of Makena exceeded $300 million, triggering a $100 million milestone that will be paid to former Lumara Health shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2016.

"In the third quarter, we once again generated strong cash flow as a result of our solid commercial execution and operating discipline," stated Ted Myles, chief financial officer of AMAG. "We are now in an even better position to capitalize on acquisition or licensing opportunities that would diversify and expand our product portfolio."
Financial Results (Non-GAAP Basis)1,2
Non-GAAP revenues totaled $145.8 million in the third quarter of 2016, up from $103.5 million in the third quarter of 2015. Non-GAAP CBR revenue totaled $29.9 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared with $14.5 million in the same period in 2015. CBR’s financial results for the third quarter of 2015 include only a portion of the quarter, as AMAG purchased CBR on August 17, 2015. The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP revenue for the quarter represents purchase accounting adjustments related to CBR deferred revenue.

Total non-GAAP costs and expenses, including costs of product sales and services, totaled $69.6 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared with total non-GAAP costs and expenses of $50.6 million in the same period in 2015. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2016 was $76.2 million, compared with $52.8 million for the same period in 2015.

The company generated third quarter 2016 non-GAAP net income of $61.8 million, or $1.81 per non-GAAP basic share and $1.78 per non-GAAP diluted share. In the third quarter of 2015, non-GAAP net income totaled $42.3 million, or $1.27 per non-GAAP basic share and $1.02 per non-GAAP diluted share. Non-GAAP diluted shares for the third quarter of 2016 do not include 7.4 million of potentially dilutive shares from the convertible notes, as the stock price was below the convertible notes’ exercise price.

About the AKT Pathway and ARQ 092

ARQ 092 is an orally bioavailable, selective small molecule inhibitor of the AKT kinases. The AKT pathway when abnormally activated is implicated in multiple oncogenic processes such as cell proliferation and apoptosis. This pathway has emerged as a target of potential therapeutic relevance for compounds that inhibit its activity, which has been linked to a variety of cancers as well as to select non-oncology indications.

ARQ 092, the lead compound in ArQule’s AKT program, has completed phase 1a clinical testing and has fully enrolled a phase 1b trial including cohorts of patients with endometrial cancer, lymphomas and tumors harboring either AKT or PI3K mutations. It is also in a phase 1 trial being conducted by the NIH for Proteus syndrome, a rare over-growth disease from the PROS family. Collaborators are exploring, in preclinical testing, other indications for ARQ 092 including Sickle Cell Disease. In mid-2016 the company initiated a phase 1 clinical trial with ARQ 751, a next generation AKT inhibitor, in cancers with AKT mutations.

About BTK and ARQ 531

ARQ 531 is an investigational, orally bioavailable, potent and reversible Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor. Biochemical and cellular studies have shown that ARQ 531inhibits both the wild type and C481S-mutant forms of BTK. The C481S mutation is a known emerging resistance mechanism for first generation irreversible BTK inhibitors. ARQ 531 has high oral bioavailability as well as good ADME, pharmacokinetic and metabolic properties. The company plans to file an IND for ARQ 531 in early 2017. BTK is a therapeutic target that has been clinically proven to inhibit B-cell receptor signaling in hematological cancers.

Pipeline Update:

ROLONTIS (eflapegrastim), a novel long-acting GCSF: A pivotal non-inferiority Phase 3 study was initiated under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) from the FDA in 2016 to evaluate ROLONTIS in the management of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia in patients with breast cancer. The Company is initiating an additional Phase 3 study to enroll patients primarily in Europe. The Company is actively enrolling breast cancer patients in the current trial and expects to file a BLA in 2018. The Phase 2 data demonstrated that ROLONTIS was non-inferior to pegfilgrastim at the middle dose tested, and statistically superior in terms of duration of severe neutropenia at the highest dose tested. ROLONTIS was also shown to have an acceptable safety profile with no significant dose-related or unexpected toxicities.
Poziotinib, a potential best-in-class, novel, pan-HER inhibitor: Spectrum is continuing to enroll a Phase 2 breast cancer trial in the U.S., based on promising Phase 1 efficacy data in breast cancer patients who had failed multiple other HER2-directed therapies. In addition, multiple Phase 2 studies are being conducted in South Korea by Hanmi Pharmaceuticals and National OncoVenture.
