"In the second quarter, we presented clinical and preclinical results with icovamenib that support its unique role as a novel, potentially first-in-class investigational agent for the treatment of type 2 diabetes as well as in obesity, while further strengthening our BMF-650 program with robust data in non-human primates," said Mick Hitchcock, Ph.D., Interim Chief Executive Officer and Board Member of Biomea Fusion. "At ADA 2025, we showed in preclinical models that our menin inhibitor, icovamenib, in combination with low-dose semaglutide not only drove superior glycemic control but also considerably boosted weight reduction, while fully preserving lean mass and outperforming semaglutide alone. Furthermore, icovamenib promoted myotube health and reduced drug-induced atrophy in a human cell model, highlighting its potential to support muscle health. We look forward to engaging with FDA and further evaluating icovamenib in this patient setting. Our next-generation investigational GLP-1 RA, BMF-650, showed encouraging results in a 28-day study in obese cynomolgus monkeys, achieving up to 15% weight reduction and robust dose-dependent appetite suppression. These findings reinforce BMF-650’s potential as an oral GLP-1 RA. With these clinical advances and the completion of our $42.8 million equity financing, we now have the necessary resources to advance these high-priority diabetes and obesity programs."

Second Quarter Highlights:

Icovamenib (Oral Small Molecule Menin Inhibitor for T2D and Type 1 Diabetes (T1D))

Three presentations at ADA 2025 highlighted the therapeutic potential of icovamenib across multiple aspects of metabolic health:
In patients with T2D not achieving glycemic targets, icovamenib demonstrated durable HbA1c reduction and enhanced beta-cell function three months subsequent to the dosing period, particularly in severe insulin deficient patients enrolled in its Phase II trial; icovamenib was well tolerated across the dosing arms.
In a Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rat model of T2D, treatment of icovamenib in combination with low-dose semaglutide delivered superior metabolic benefits compared to low-dose semaglutide alone:
60% lower fasting blood glucose and 50% lower glucose OGTT AUC
Greater HbA1c decline of >1% by Day 28 and >2% by Day 39
Greater improvement in insulin sensitivity with a 75% lower HOMA-IR (marker of insulin resistance)
2-fold increase in C-peptide to glucose ratio indicating enhanced beta cell function
Superior appetite suppression with a 10% greater body weight reduction than low-dose semaglutide alone
The observed body weight loss was primarily due to fat mass reduction with complete preservation of lean mass
Icovamenib also promoted healthy myotube morphology and diminished drug-induced atrophy in ex vivo human myotube cultures.
BMF-650 (Next-generation Oral Small Molecule GLP-1 RA for Obesity)

In a 28-day study in obese cynomolgus monkeys, BMF-650 achieved rapid, dose-dependent reductions in food intake and significant weight loss, with average weight reductions of 15% at the higher dose of 30 mg/kg/day.
BMF-650 was generally well tolerated across all dose levels and showed no aminotransferase elevations.
These preclinical results compare favorably to published preclinical data from other leading oral GLP-1 RA candidates in development and support BMF-650’s potential as a best-in-class oral small-molecule GLP-1 RA.
BMF-500 (Oral Small Molecule FLT3 Inhibitor in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML))

Presented updated Phase I data at EHA (Free EHA Whitepaper) 2025, showing sustained antileukemic responses, deep bone marrow blast reductions, and survival benefit in relapsed/refractory FLT3-mutant AML patients, all of whom had failed FLT3 inhibitor gilteritinib.
The Company concluded its oncology efforts and is now exploring strategic partnerships for BMF-500.
Financing & Operations

In June 2025, Biomea closed its previously announced underwritten public offering and in July 2025 the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option to purchase additional shares of common stock. The aggregate gross proceeds from the offering, including the over-allotment option, were approximately $42.8 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by Biomea.

During the first half of 2025 Biomea also reduced its workforce and operational expenses and anticipates future quarterly operational expenses to be approximately 40% lower than the most recent quarter, depending on study enrollments and expansion.

Key Anticipated 2025 Milestones:

Icovamenib (Oral Small Molecule Menin Inhibitor for T2D and T1D)

52-week data from the Phase II COVALENT-111 study in T2D expected in the second half of 2025.
Initiation of Phase II study of icovamenib in T2D patients currently uncontrolled on a GLP-1 based therapy in the second half of 2025.
Preliminary data from the Phase II COVALENT-112 study in T1D anticipated in the second half of 2025.
BMF-650 (Next-generation Oral Small Molecule GLP-1 RA for Obesity)

Submission of the IND application for BMF-650 is planned for the second half of 2025.
Phase I study initiation in obese, otherwise healthy volunteers anticipated by late 2025, pending regulatory clearance.
Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash: As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $56.6 million. The Company expects its cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash to be sufficient to fund planned operating activities into the second half of 2026.

Net Loss: The Company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $20.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, which included $2.6 million of stock-based compensation, compared to a net loss of $37.3 million for the same period in 2024, which included $4.8 million of stock-based compensation. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $50.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which included $5.7 million of stock-based compensation, compared to a net loss of $76.3 million for the same period in 2024, which included $9.9 million of stock-based compensation.

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $16.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $31.8 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease of approximately $15.3 million was primarily driven by a decrease of $9.1 million related to clinical activities, a decrease of $2.0 million related to preclinical and exploratory programs, a decrease of $0.1 million of manufacturing costs and a decrease of $0.2 million in other external costs related to consultants, advisors and other professional services to support our clinical studies. Personnel-related expenses decreased by $3.8 million, including stock-based compensation, due to a decrease in headcount. R&D expenses were $39.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $65.6 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease of $26.1 million was primarily driven by a decrease of $16.4 million related to clinical activities, a decrease of $3.0 million related to preclinical and exploratory programs and a decrease of $1.9 million of manufacturing costs. This decrease in external costs was partially offset by an increase of $0.7 million in other external costs related to consultants, advisors and other professional services to support our clinical studies. Personnel-related expenses decreased by $5.5 million, including stock-based compensation, due to a decrease in headcount.

General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses were $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $7.1 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease of $2.4 million is primarily driven by a decrease of $1.9 million related to personnel-related expenses, including stock-based compensation, due to a decrease in headcount and a decrease of $0.4 million related to professional and legal services. G&A expenses were $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $14.4 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease of $2.8 million is primarily driven by a decrease of $2.9 million related to personnel-related expenses, including stock-based compensation, due to a decrease in headcount.

CAPITAL ALLOCATION
During the first six months of 2025, Pfizer deployed its capital in a variety of ways, which primarily included:
▪Reinvesting capital into initiatives intended to enhance the future growth prospects of the company, including:
•$4.7 billion invested in internal research and development projects, and
•Approximately $150 million invested in business development transactions. Separately, the completed 3SBio transaction will be recorded in third-quarter 2025.
▪Returning capital directly to shareholders through $4.9 billion of cash dividends, or $0.86 per share of common stock.

No share repurchases have been completed to date in 2025. As of August 5, 2025, Pfizer’s remaining share repurchase authorization is $3.3 billion. Current financial guidance does not anticipate any share repurchases in 2025. The company expects to continue to de-lever in a prudent manner in order to maintain a balanced capital allocation strategy. This includes maintaining the flexibility to deploy capital towards potential value-creating business development transactions and the potential to return capital to shareholders through share repurchases.
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of 5,706 million and 5,696 million were used to calculate Reported(3) and Adjusted(2) diluted EPS for second-quarter 2025 and 2024, respectively.
QUARTERLY FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (Second-Quarter 2025 vs. Second-Quarter 2024)
Second-quarter 2025 revenues totaled $14.7 billion, an increase of $1.4 billion, or 10%, compared to the prior-year quarter, reflecting an operational increase of $1.3 billion, or 10%, as well as a favorable impact of foreign exchange of $22 million. The operational increase was primarily driven by an increase in revenues for the Vyndaqel family, Comirnaty, Paxlovid, Padcev, Eliquis and several other products across categories despite the unfavorable impact of higher manufacturer discounts resulting from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Medicare Part D Redesign.
Second-quarter 2025 operational revenue growth was driven primarily by:
▪Vyndaqel family (Vyndaqel, Vyndamax, Vynmac) globally, up 21% operationally, driven largely by strong demand with continuing uptake in patient diagnosis primarily in the U.S. and certain international developed markets, partially offset by lower net price in the U.S. mostly due to the impact of higher manufacturer discounts resulting from the IRA Medicare Part D Redesign;
▪Comirnaty globally, up 95% operationally, driven primarily by higher net revenues in the U.S. partially due to higher market share, as well as higher contractual deliveries in certain international markets;
▪Paxlovid globally, up 71% operationally, driven primarily by higher net price in the U.S. following the transition from the U.S. government agreement as well as a favorable adjustment of rebate accruals related to prior periods, partially offset by lower COVID-19 infections across the U.S. and certain international markets as well as lower international government purchases;
▪Padcev globally, up 38% operationally, driven primarily by increased market share in first-line locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (la/mUC), as well as a one-time favorable impact associated with the transition to a wholesaler distribution model in the U.S.;
▪Eliquis globally, up 6% operationally, driven primarily by higher demand globally; partially offset by lower net price in the U.S., including the impact of higher manufacturer discounts resulting from the IRA Medicare Part D Redesign, and price erosion in certain international markets;
▪Abrysvo globally, up 155% (or up $86 million) operationally, driven primarily by higher U.S. revenues from both a favorable net sales adjustment and higher demand for the maternal indication that more than offset ower vaccination rates for the older adult indication following an updated Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendation; as well as launch uptake for both the adult and maternal indications in certain international markets; and
▪Lorbrena globally, up 48% operationally, driven primarily by increased patient share in the first-line ALK-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (ALK+ mNSCLC) treatment setting in the U.S., China, and certain other international markets, partially offset by lower net price in the U.S. mainly due to the impact of higher manufacturer discounts resulting from the IRA Medicare Part D Redesign;
partially offset primarily by lower revenues for:
▪Ibrance globally, down 8% operationally, driven primarily by lower net price in the U.S. largely due to the impact of higher manufacturer discounts resulting from the IRA Medicare Part D Redesign, as well as generic entry and timing of shipments in certain international markets.

Second-quarter 2025 Cost of Sales(3) as a percentage of revenues increased by 0.9 percentage points compared to the prior-year quarter, driven primarily by the non-recurrence of a favorable revision to accrued royalties recorded in the second quarter of 2024, partially offset by lower amortization from the step-up of acquired inventory.
Second-quarter 2025 SI&A Expenses(3) decreased 8% operationally compared with the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting focused investments and ongoing productivity improvements that drove a decrease in marketing and promotional spend for various products and lower spending in corporate enabling functions.
Second-quarter 2025 R&D Expenses(3) decreased 8% operationally compared with the prior-year quarter, driven primarily by a net decrease in spending due to pipeline focus and optimization, as well as lower compensation-related expenses.

Hemispherian Receives FDA IND Clearance for First-in-Class Glioblastoma Therapeutic, GLIX1

On August 5, 2025 Hemispherian AS, a pioneering biotech company developing next-generation therapeutics for aggressive cancers, reported that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the company’s Investigational New Drug (IND) application for GLIX1, a first-in-class small molecule targeting DNA repair vulnerabilities in glioblastoma and other solid tumors (Press release, Hemispherian, AUG 5, 2025, View Source [SID1234654815]).

The IND clearance allows Hemispherian to proceed with a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of GLIX1 in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

Important Milestone – targets DNA repair pathways in tumor cells while sparing healthy tissue

"This milestone marks a major inflection point for Hemispherian and brings us one step closer to delivering a much-needed therapeutic option to patients facing glioblastoma, a cancer with devastating outcomes and few effective treatments," said Adam Robertson, Chief Scientific Officer of Hemispherian. "GLIX1’s unique mechanism of action selectively targets DNA repair pathways in tumor cells while sparing healthy tissue, and we are encouraged by its strong preclinical profile and regulatory recognition in both the U.S. and Europe."

GLIX1 is the lead candidate from Hemispherian’s proprietary GLIX platform and has demonstrated:

Potent anti-tumor activity in multiple glioblastoma models
Excellent blood-brain barrier penetration
Favorable safety profile in preclinical toxicology studies
Study to be conducted by world leading investigators in the field of Glioblastoma

The Phase 1 study will be conducted at leading neuro-oncology centers across the United States, starting at Northwestern University in Chicago.

Dr. Ditte Primdahl, Principal Investigator at Northwestern University in Chicago, commented: "I look forward to evaluating this novel therapeutic approach in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. The trial will generate valuable clinical data on safety, tolerability, and early signs of biological activity."

Dr. Roger Stupp, Co-Director of the Malnati Brain Tumor Institute of the Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center at Northwestern University, Chicago, and Chairman of Hemispherian’s Scientific Advisory Committee, added: "Targeting DNA repair is the next frontier in improving outcome for patients with glioblastoma and other deadly brain tumors. It will delay tumor recurrences in patients who have initially been successfully treated. GLIX1 has a novel and unique mechanism of action, and this first-in-human trial will provide a novel therapeutic option for our patients, and insights for subsequently preventing tumor recurrences."

GLIX1 has also been granted Orphan Drug Designation by both the FDA and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), highlighting the urgent need for new treatments for malignant glioma and recognizing the potential of GLIX1 to provide meaningful benefit for patients facing this devastating disease.

Boundless Bio Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Business Highlights

On August 5, 2025 Boundless Bio (Nasdaq: BOLD), a clinical-stage oncology company interrogating extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) biology to deliver transformative therapies to patients with previously intractable oncogene amplified cancers, reported financial results and business highlights for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025 (Press release, Boundless Bio, AUG 5, 2025, View Source [SID1234654778]).

"We are executing with sharpened focus on programs that we believe have the strongest scientific rationale and greatest potential to impact patients with oncogene-amplified cancers," said Zachary Hornby, President and CEO of Boundless Bio. "We are excited to advance our BBI-355/BBI-825 combination in the clinic and to progress BBI-940, our development candidate in our novel kinesin program, toward IND submission, as we work to make a meaningful impact for both patients and shareholders."

Research and Development Highlights and Upcoming Milestones

POTENTIATE clinical trial


The Company believes recent preclinical data provide a strong mechanistic rationale to combine BBI-355, its novel, selective, oral CHK1 inhibitor, with BBI-825, its novel, selective, oral RNR inhibitor, for synergistic anti-tumor activity without overlapping toxicity, and with a dosing regimen that does not require continuous administration.

The BBI-355/BBI-825 combination arm of the POTENTIATE trial is open for enrollment. The Company expects to deliver initial proof-of-concept clinical data within its existing cash runway timeline.

Novel Kinesin program targeting ecDNA segregation and inheritance


Boundless selected BBI-940 as its development candidate for its novel program targeting a previously undrugged kinesin.

Boundless expects to submit an investigational new drug (IND) application for BBI-940 in the first half of 2026 and to deliver initial proof-of-concept clinical data within its existing cash runway timeline.

Net sales rose 7% to $534 million compared to Q2 2024, with 6% growth at constant exchange rates (CER) exceeding the outlook for at least 5% CER growth. Core sales, which exclude discontinued products such as NeuMoDx and Dialunox, also rose 6% CER. The adjusted operating income margin increased 1.5 percentage points to 29.9% of sales, driven by efficiency gains across QIAGEN while absorbing the impact of new tariffs. Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.60, with results of $0.62 CER exceeding the outlook for at least $0.60 CER.

Based on the solid performance in H1 2025, and taking into account current macroeconomic trends (including U.S. and China import tariffs), QIAGEN has increased the FY 2025 net sales outlook to 4-5% CER growth (prior about 4% CER growth) and 5-6% CER core sales growth (prior about 5% CER growth), and reaffirmed the adjusted diluted EPS target of about $2.35 CER, which was increased by seven cents in April 2025, and for an adjusted operating income margin of about 30%.

"Our teams achieved another solid performance in Q2 2025, with results ahead of our outlook for both sales and adjusted earnings. QIAstat-Dx and QuantiFERON posted strong double-digit growth, while QIAcuity and QIAGEN Digital Insights continued to expand their contributions. Sample technologies saw good demand for automated consumables, and we are preparing to launch three important new instruments starting in late 2025 to support future growth. These results reflect focused execution, strategic investments and disciplined management. We are on track to achieve our upgraded 2025 targets and deliver solid profitable growth," said Thierry Bernard, CEO of QIAGEN.

"QIAGEN delivered strong financial results in Q2 2025, with the adjusted operating margin rising to 29.9 percent as we progress toward our 2028 goal for at least 31% faster than planned. Efficiency gains and disciplined cost management are supporting reinvestments in key initiatives while maintaining strong cash flow. As part of our capital allocation strategy, we have now returned over $350 million to shareholders in 2025 through the synthetic share repurchase and our first-ever cash dividend. We remain focused on funding innovation and creating value through an ongoing balanced and disciplined approach," said Roland Sackers, CFO of QIAGEN.

Investor presentation and conference call

A conference call is scheduled for Wednesday, August 6, 2025, at 15:30 Frankfurt Time / 14:30 London Time / 9:30 New York Time. A live audio webcast will be available in the Investor Relations section of the QIAGEN website (www.qiagen.com), with a recording accessible after the event. The accompanying presentation will be published in advance under "Events and Presentations" in the same website section.

Use of adjusted results

QIAGEN reports adjusted results and constant exchange rate (CER) measures, along with other non-GAAP financial metrics, to provide deeper insight into its business performance. These include core sales (excluding discontinued products), adjusted gross margin and profit, adjusted operating income and expenses, adjusted operating income margin, adjusted net income, adjusted income before taxes, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted tax rate, and free cash flow. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment. Adjusted results are non-GAAP measures that QIAGEN views as complementary to GAAP-reported results. They exclude items considered outside of ongoing core operations, subject to significant period-to-period fluctuation, or that reduce comparability with competitors and historical performance. QIAGEN also uses these non-GAAP and constant currency measures internally for planning, forecasting, reporting, and employee compensation purposes. These metrics support consistent comparison of current and past performance, which has historically been presented on an adjusted basis.
