As of June 30, 2019, CytomX had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $349.1 million.

"CytomX continues to make progress across its pipeline. Highlights of the second quarter included additional presentations of clinical data for our lead, wholly owned assets, CX-072 and CX-2009, which further demonstrated the potential of these two novel anti-cancer agents," said Sean McCarthy, D.Phil., president, chief executive officer and chairman of CytomX Therapeutics. "Our clinical work to date with our lead programs provides validation for our unique approach to targeting antibody therapies to the tumor microenvironment and, accordingly, the discovery and development of new and differentiated treatments for cancer patients."

Business Highlights and Recent Developments

PROCLAIM-CX-072 (PD-L1 Probody Therapeutic) Clinical Program

CX-072 is a wholly owned Probody therapeutic targeting PD-L1, a clinically and commercially validated anti-cancer target.
CytomX presented updated clinical data from monotherapy expansion cohorts (Part D) of the PROCLAIM-CX-072 Phase 1/2 study, evaluating the safety and efficacy of CX-072 in multiple tumor types at 10 mg/kg at the 2019 Annual Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Annual Meeting. These data demonstrated a favorable safety profile and evidence of anti-cancer activity in certain patients with triple negative breast cancer, anal squamous cell carcinoma, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma.
David Page, M.D., Medical Oncologist, Providence Cancer Center presented clinical data from PROCLAIM-CX-072 monotherapy and in combination with ipilimumab (YERVOY) as part of a Poster Discussion Session at the 2019 ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Annual Meeting.
PROCLAIM-CX-2009 (CD166 Probody Drug Conjugate) Clinical Program

CX-2009 is a wholly owned, first in class Probody drug conjugate (PDC) targeting CD166, a novel antigen that is broadly and highly expressed in many types of cancer.
CytomX reported preliminary data from the dose-escalation phase (Part A and A2) of the ongoing PROCLAIM-CX-2009 Phase 1/2 study, evaluating the safety and antitumor activity of CX-2009 in seven selected tumor types, at the 2019 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) (Free AACR Whitepaper) Annual Meeting. CX-2009 was generally well tolerated. Single agent anti-cancer activity was observed in certain patients with breast cancer, ovarian cancer and head and neck cancer.
CX-2029 (CD71 Probody Drug Conjugate) Clinical Program

CX-2029 is a first in class PDC targeting CD71, the Transferrin Receptor, a highly efficient cellular mechanism for the internalization of antibody drug conjugates in preclinical models.
CD71 is widely expressed on normal tissues and therefore is considered to be an undruggable clinical target for conventional antibody drug conjugate technology.
CytomX discovered and is developing CX-2029 in collaboration with AbbVie to potentially turn CD71 into a druggable target.
CytomX continues to enroll patients in the PROCLAIM-CX-2029 Phase 1/2 study evaluating CX-2029 as monotherapy in patients with solid tumors or lymphomas.
BMS-986249 (CTLA-4 Probody Therapeutic) Clinical Program

Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) continues enrollment in a Phase 1/2 dose escalation clinical study evaluating BMS-986249 alone and in combination with OPDIVO (nivolumab) in solid tumors that are advanced and have spread.
BMS is preparing to initiate the Phase 2 portion of this clinical trial, upon which CytomX is entitled to a $10 million milestone payment.
AbbVie Second Target Selection Under Strategic Oncology Collaboration

In July 2019, CytomX announced its partner AbbVie selected a second target under the companies’ 2016 Discovery Collaboration and Licensing Agreement to discover and develop Probody drug conjugates. The target selection triggered a $10 million payment to CytomX.
Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $349.1 million as of June 30, 2019, compared to $436.1 million as of December 31, 2018. The decrease of $87.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 included certain infrequent payments such as $5.0 million for the acquisition from an Astellas subsidiary of technical know-how related to drug conjugate linker-toxin and CD3-based bispecific antibody technology in the first quarter, a $13.7 million federal tax payment for the 2018 tax return filing in the second quarter and approximately $4.7 million related to the UCSB license agreement, also in the second quarter.

Revenue was $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $21.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in revenue of $12.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in 2018 was primarily due to the $21.0 million milestone payment (net of the associated sublicense fee of $4.0 million) earned in May 2018 under the CD71 Agreement with AbbVie, of which $9.9 million was recognized in the second quarter of 2018 reflecting the percentage completed-to-date of the project related to this milestone.

Research and development expenses increased $5.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The increase was attributable to $3.4 million in license fees and maintenance fees related to an amendment to the UCSB Licensing Agreement (which included the issuance of 150,000 shares of Company common stock valued at $1.6 million, an upfront payment of $1.0 million and an additional annual maintenance fee of $0.8 million), an increase of $0.8 million sublicense expense pertaining to the $10.0 million milestone payment earned upon the AbbVie selection of the second target in the second quarter of 2019 under the Amended and Restated Discovery Collaboration and License Agreement, an increase of $2.4 million in personnel-related expenses due to an increase in headcount, an increase of $0.5 million in clinical related expenses resulting from increased clinical trial activities and an increase of $0.7 million in the allocation of information technology and facilities related expenses resulting from an increase in headcount, partially offset by a decrease of $2.3 million in laboratory contracts and services as a result of timing of manufacturing activities.

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The increase was attributable to an increase of $1.0 million in personnel-related expenses due to an increase in headcount, an increase of $0.3 million for dues and subscriptions primarily related to software and other IT services and an increase of $0.2 million in professional service expenses, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in consulting and contract services and a decrease of $0.7 million through increased expense allocation of information technology and facilities-related expenses to research and development due to an increase in research and development headcount.

ATHERSYS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2019 RESULTS

On August 7, 2019 Athersys, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATHX) reported its financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2019 (Press release, Athersys, AUG 7, 2019, View Source [SID1234538300]).
Highlights of the second quarter of 2019 and recent events include:

Received Fast Track designation from the FDA for our clinical development program involving administration of MultiStem cell therapy for treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome ("ARDS");

Presented positive results from the MUST-ARDS study at the American Thoracic Society International Conference in May 2019;

Announced first patient enrolled in the ONE-BRIDGE study in Japan being conducted by our partner in Japan, HEALIOS K.K. ("Healios"), evaluating MultiStem cell therapy treatment of patients suffering from pneumonia-induced ARDS;

Advanced our ischemic stroke program, both through support of Healios’ TREASURE study in Japan and increased enrollment in our MASTERS-2 Phase 3 registrational study;

Entered into an open market sales agreement with Jefferies LLC, i.e., an ‘at-the-market’ equity program, providing additional flexibility and capital markets access as we progress to important milestones;

Hosted a successful investor day in New York City in May 2019 highlighting our capabilities and technologies, as well as progress made developing the MultiStem product platform;

Increased our media exposure as we were featured in video, podcasts and articles in the major publications Fortune and Forbes;

Participated in several events at the International Society of Cell and Gene Therapy Conference in June 2019, including podium presentations, a panel participation and chairing a session, further establishing the Company as a leader and significant contributor in the field of cell therapy;

Recognized revenues of $4.3 million and net loss of $9.7 million, or $0.06 net loss per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2019; and

Ended the 2019 second quarter with $44.2 million of cash and cash equivalents.
"We continue to make steady progress in key areas, including advancing our Phase 3 clinical program for treating ischemic stroke, while supporting Healios in the advancement of its TREASURE study for stroke patients and ONE-BRIDGE study for ARDS patients in Japan," commented Dr. Gil Van Bokkelen, Chairman & CEO at Athersys. "Given our progress in multiple areas, including the recently announced Fast Track designation and promising results from our ARDS clinical program, we are exploring partnering opportunities in several important geographic areas, while we continue to advance our key initiatives and expand core capabilities. This includes continuing to advance our manufacturing activities and initiatives, that we believe will represent a significant competitive advantage as we move into commercialization.
"While we advance our programs through clinical development and toward commercialization, we have also taken prudent and appropriate steps to maintain a solid balance sheet, ensuring we have access to additional capital while we continue to maintain a long-term focus on creating value for our shareholders," concluded Dr. Van Bokkelen.

Second Quarter Results
Revenues were $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $19.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Revenues from our collaboration with Healios were $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $18.8 million for the same period last year, which included the impact of the June 2018 collaboration expansion. Royalty revenue from RTI Surgical, Inc. ceased late in 2018 upon its decision to discontinue distribution of the licensed product. Our revenues are generally derived from license fees, manufacturing-related activities for Healios, other contract revenue from our collaborations and grant revenue.
Research and development expenses increased to $11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $10.1 million for the comparable period in 2018. The $1.0 million net increase is associated with increases in clinical trial and manufacturing process development costs of $0.7 million, personnel costs of $0.4 million, internal research supplies of $0.3 million and stock compensation costs of $0.2 million, with such increases partially offset by a decrease in license fees of $0.6 million. Included in our clinical expenses are costs associated with providing manufacturing services to Healios, which are invoiced to Healios in accordance with our collaboration agreements.
General and administrative expenses increased to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $2.4 million in the comparable period in 2018. The $0.5 million increase was due primarily to increased personnel costs, legal and professional fees, travel costs and stock compensation costs compared to the same period last year.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2019 was $9.7 million compared to net income of $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2018. The variance of $16.6 million is primarily attributable to the June 2018 expansion of the Healios collaboration.
In the six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $17.0 million compared to $1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018, with 2018 being impacted by proceeds from the Healios collaboration expansion. At June 30, 2019, we had $44.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $51.1 million at December 31, 2018.

Kezar Life Sciences Reports Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

On August 7, 2019 Kezar Life Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: KZR), a clinical-stage biotechnology company discovering and developing novel small molecule therapeutics to treat unmet needs in autoimmunity and cancer, reported its second quarter 2019 financial results and corporate highlights (Press release, Kezar Life Sciences, AUG 7, 2019, View Source [SID1234538299]).

"I’m proud of the tremendous progress made by the team over the quarter, culminating with the first-in-patient data reported with KZR-616," said John Fowler, Chief Executive Officer. "The broad therapeutic potential demonstrated thus far by KZR-616 reinforces our view that selective immunoproteasome inhibition can target multiple autoimmune diseases. To that end, in addition to having initiated the Phase 2 portion of the MISSION study in lupus nephritis patients, we are pleased to announce that the Phase 2 PRESIDIO and MARINA trials have commenced in four additional autoimmune indications—dermatomyositis, polymyositis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and immune thrombocytopenia. Furthermore, we remain on-track to nominate the first oncology clinical candidate from our novel protein secretion program before the end of the year."

Recent Clinical and Business Highlights

KZR-616 (Selective Immunoproteasome Inhibitor)

MISSION Study

The Phase 1b/2 MISSION study in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with and without nephritis is currently ongoing.

We reported promising data with KZR-616 in patients with SLE at the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) 2019 Annual Meeting. Initial data were reported from 3 cohorts of the open-label dose escalation portion of the trial (Phase 1b). The study met its objectives by establishing the safety and tolerability of KZR-616 and identifying doses to advance into our Phase 2 clinical trials.

Enrollment to the Phase 1b portion of the MISSION study is ongoing and updated data from cohorts testing step-up dosing to a 60 mg dose are expected in Q4 2019.

The Phase 2 portion of the MISSION study, which is evaluating KZR-616 for the treatment of lupus nephritis (LN), was initiated.

PRESIDIO Study

We recently initiated the PRESIDIO study (NCT04033926). This is a Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, PK and PD of treatment with KZR-616 in patients with active dermatomyositis (DM) or polymyositis (PM). The trial is expected to enroll 24 patients with either DM or PM.

MARINA Study

We recently initiated the MARINA study (NCT04039477). MARINA is a Phase 2 randomized, dose-blind, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KZR-616 in the treatment of patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). The trial is expected to enroll 40 patients with either AIHA or ITP.

Protein Secretion Program (Sec61 translocon modulation)

Our research and discovery efforts targeting the protein secretion pathway as a potential therapy for oncology indications is progressing well, and we remain on track to nominate a first clinical candidate before the end of the year.

Management Update

Kezar announced today that Niti Goel, MD, Chief Medical Officer, will be departing the company following a transition period ending October 1, 2019.

"On behalf of the Executive Team and Board of Directors, I would like to sincerely thank Niti for her contributions during her tenure at Kezar," said John Fowler, Chief Executive Officer. "Niti’s exceptional skill designing innovative clinical trials and her unwavering commitment to patients has positioned KZR-616 for success in our Phase 2 studies and will be missed."

Financial Results

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $93.4 million as of June 30, 2019, compared to $107.4 million as of December 31, 2018. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities was primarily attributable to cash used by the company in operations to advance its clinical stage programs as well as preclinical research and development.

Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2019 increased by $1.7 million to $6.9 million from $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2018. This increase was primarily related to advancing both the KZR-616 clinical program across indications and the protein secretion preclinical program.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2019 increased by $0.7 million to $2.4 million from $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel expenses and costs related to operating as a public company.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2019 was $8.7 million, or $0.46 per basic and diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $6.8 million, or $3.31 per basic and diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2018.

Total shares outstanding were 19.1 million as of June 30, 2019. Additionally, there were outstanding options to purchase 2.9 million shares of common stock at a $8.02 weighted average exercise price as of June 30, 2019.

About KZR-616

KZR-616 is a novel, first-in-class, selective immunoproteasome inhibitor with broad therapeutic potential across multiple autoimmune diseases. Nonclinical research demonstrates that selective immunoproteasome inhibition results in a broad anti-inflammatory response in animal models of several autoimmune diseases, while avoiding immunosuppression. Phase 1a clinical trial results in healthy volunteers provide evidence that KZR-616 potentially avoids adverse effects caused by currently marketed non-selective proteasome inhibitors, which we believe prevent them from being utilized as a chronic treatment in autoimmune disorders. Phase 2 trials have commenced for the treatment of lupus nephritis (MISSION study), dermatomyositis and polymyositis (PRESIDIO study), and autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenia (MARINA study).

About Protein Secretion

We are conducting research and discovery efforts targeting protein secretion pathways as potential therapies for oncology and immuno-oncology indications. In mammalian cells, the secretion of proteins such as cytokines and the expression of cell surface transmembrane proteins such as cytokine receptors involve a process called cotranslational translocation. For most proteins, this process occurs via the Sec61 translocon, a highly conserved multi-subunit protein complex found in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum of all cells. Inhibition of the Sec61 translocon with small molecules blocks the secretion of some or all proteins, which can result in several physiologic outcomes, including altered cellular function, inhibition of cytokine release and/or cell death. We believe this platform has the potential to yield oral small molecule alternatives to currently marketed biologic therapeutics, to act as cytotoxic anti-cancer agents or to block the secretion of novel targets of interest in immuno-oncology or inflammation.

Syndax Pharmaceuticals Reports Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results and Provides Clinical and Business Update

On August 7, 2019 Syndax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNDX), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing an innovative pipeline of cancer therapies, reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019 (Press release, Syndax, AUG 7, 2019, View Source [SID1234538298]). In addition, the Company provided a clinical and business update. As of June 30, 2019, Syndax had $80.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

"The FDA’s recent clearance of our IND application for SNDX-5613, a potent, highly selective, oral Menin inhibitor, marks an important milestone not only for Syndax, but also for patients suffering with acute leukemias," said Briggs W. Morrison, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Syndax. "The Menin-MLL interaction has been strongly implicated in the development of MLL-r and NPM1 mutant leukemias. We look forward to initiating the clinical program and anticipate establishing a safe dose that provides appropriate target coverage in patients."

Dr. Morrison added, "We look forward to the near-term completion of E2112, the Phase 3 registration trial of entinostat plus exemestane in HR+, HER2- breast cancer, which we anticipate will occur either in the fourth quarter of 2019 or the first half of 2020. A positive survival benefit at either assessment will enable us to file an NDA with the FDA and take us one step closer to improving outcomes for patients with this difficult to treat disease."

Pipeline Updates

Entinostat

In May 2019, Syndax announced that the E2112 trial passed its fourth interim overall survival (OS) analysis and will continue as planned until either an OS benefit is observed, or the final target number of events occur. E2112 is Syndax’s NCI-sponsored, ECOG-ACRIN led Phase 3 registration trial of entinostat, a Class I selective HDAC inhibitor, plus exemestane in advanced hormone receptor positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HR+, HER2-) breast cancer.

The Company continues to anticipate the final E2112 interim OS analysis in 4Q19. If necessary, the final OS assessment, which will be triggered when the trial reaches a total of 410 death events, is expected to be conducted in 2Q20. A positive OS assessment at any point would enable the Company to file for full regulatory approval. The E2112 trial design was informed by the Phase 2b ENCORE 301 trial, the results of which led to entinostat’s Breakthrough Therapy designation in HR+, HER2- breast cancer, in which patients receiving the entinostat/exemestane combination demonstrated a strong OS benefit.

SNDX-5613

In July 2019, Syndax announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared the Company’s Investigational New Drug (IND) application to begin a Phase 1/2 trial for SNDX-5613, a highly selective Menin inhibitor. The Company will refer to the clinical development of SNDX-5613 as the AUGMENT Program. The Phase 1/2 open-label trial will assess orally administered SNDX-5613 in adults with relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute leukemias. The Phase 1 dose escalation portion of the study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of SNDX-5613, and will seek to establish a recommended Phase 2 dose. The Phase 2 portion will evaluate efficacy, as defined by Complete Response rate (per International Working Group response criteria), across three expansion cohorts: MLL-rearranged (MLL-r) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), MLL-r acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and NPM1 mutant AML. The Company expects to report initial clinical data from the trial in 2020.

SNDX-6352

Enrollment continues in the Phase 1 dose escalation trial of SNDX-6352, Syndax’s anti-CSF-1R monoclonal antibody, in patients with chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD). The Company now anticipates results from this trial in the second half of 2020. The objectives of this trial are to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of SNDX-6352 in cGVHD and to identify a recommended Phase 2 dose and schedule.

Corporate Updates

Syndax announced the appointment of Michael A. Metzger to its Board of Directors. Mr. Metzger has served as Syndax’s President and Chief Operating Officer since May 2015.

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

As of June 30, 2019, Syndax had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $80.5 million and 31.6 million shares and share equivalents issued and outstanding.

Second quarter 2019 research and development expenses decreased to $12.3 million from $14.9 million. The second quarter decrease was primarily due to decreased development activities primarily in the ENCORE programs, and decreased CMC activities associated with SNDX-6352, partially offset by accrued milestone expenses associated with the development of SNDX-5613.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter 2019 decreased to $3.5 million from $4.5 million. The decrease was primarily due to decreased professional fees and employee compensation expenses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, Syndax reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $14.9 million or $0.47 per share compared to $18.4 million or $0.74 per share for the prior year period.

Financial Guidance

Today the Company provided operating expense guidance for the third quarter and full year 2019. For the third quarter and full year 2019, research and development expenses are expected to be $11 to $12 million and $45 to $46 million, respectively, and total operating expenses are expected to be $15 to $16 million and $60 to $63 million, respectively.
