"The first half of 2024 has been outstanding for BioCryst due to the success we are having in the marketplace with ORLADEYO. As a result, we are increasing our full year guidance for ORLADEYO, advancing multiple programs toward the clinic in the next 18 months and moving the company closer to profitability," said Jon Stonehouse, president and chief executive officer of BioCryst.

ORLADEYO (berotralstat): Oral, Once-daily Treatment for Prevention of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) Attacks

ORLADEYO net revenue in the second quarter of 2024 was $108.3 million (+34 percent year-over-year (y-o-y)).

Operational improvements drove revenue above expectations for the second quarter. This included a three percent increase in the overall rate of paid patients relative to the end of 2023, which now stands at 74.4 percent.

New patient starts continued at the same high rate seen in the prior two quarters, matching the new patient demand seen in the first three quarters of the launch in 2021, and patient retention remained strong. We continue to see more than 60 percent of patients on paid therapy staying on for at least a year.

A recent market research study showed that 52 percent of allergist/immunologists are extremely likely to prescribe ORLADEYO to more patients, up from 29 percent in early 2023.

With additional recent approvals and reimbursement authorizations in Europe and Latin America, ORLADEYO is now commercially available to patients in more than 20 countries. Ex-U.S. ORLADEYO revenue in the second quarter increased 51 percent y-o-y and accounted for 11 percent of global ORLADEYO net revenues.
"Our second quarter revenue growth and increased full year guidance for ORLADEYO reflect strong underlying demand and favorable patient outcomes, combined with our continuing focus on improving patient services and market access operations. The real-world experience of patients who respond to ORLADEYO is consistent with the 91 percent reduction in attacks from baseline that we saw in long-term clinical trials. The potential for patients to have that high level of HAE attack control in a once-daily pill is a major differentiator in the marketplace that makes ORLADEYO’s trajectory toward $1 billion in peak sales increasingly clear," said Charlie Gayer, chief commercial officer of BioCryst.

Rare Disease Pipeline

The goal with our pipeline is to build on our success with ORLADEYO by bringing additional selected, highly differentiated rare disease products to patients.

The company remains on track to submit a regulatory filing in 2025 to expand the ORLADEYO label to enable children as young as two years of age to receive an oral granule formulation of ORLADEYO. ORLADEYO would be the first oral prophylactic therapy for children with HAE.

The company has completed its clinical evaluation of its oral Factor D inhibitor, BCX10013. The drug was safe and well tolerated at all doses studied, however the level of clinical activity observed was less than other therapies on the market and potential partners have declined to make the additional investment required to evaluate higher doses. BioCryst plans to discontinue development, consistent with its previously announced plans.

The company expects to advance BCX17725, its KLK-5 inhibitor for the treatment of Netherton syndrome, into the clinic by the end of 2024.

Netherton syndrome is a serious, rare, lifelong genetic disorder affecting the skin, hair and immune system. People with Netherton syndrome often have red, scaly, inflamed skin, fragile hair, and are more likely to develop skin infections, allergies, asthma and eczema. Netherton syndrome can be life threatening, especially during infancy when patients are vulnerable to dehydration and recurrent infections. Currently, there is no approved treatment for Netherton syndrome.

In 2025, the company plans to advance avoralstat, a plasma kallikrein inhibitor, into a clinical trial of patients with diabetic macular edema (DME).

DME is an important cause of vision loss in diabetes and is due to leakage from the blood vessels in the retina. While current treatments focus on VEGF inhibition, DME can develop from other mechanisms, such as the kallikrein-bradykinin pathway. This is supported by observations that many DME patients have an incomplete response to intravitreal anti-VEGF therapies that are administered every four to eight weeks. Avoralstat targets the kallikrein-bradykinin system on the retinal vascular endothelial cells and may result in less vascular leakage and less edema. Avoralstat, delivered to the suprachoroidal space as a depot formulation, is designed to provide high dose levels to the retinal vessels with long-lasting exposure, which could result in less frequent injections and a reduced burden on patients and the healthcare system.
Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, total revenues were $109.3 million, compared to $82.5 million in the second quarter of 2023 (+32.5 percent year-over-year (y-o-y)). The increase was primarily due to $108.3 million in ORLADEYO net revenue in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $81.0 million in ORLADEYO net revenue in the second quarter of 2023 (+33.7 percent y-o-y).

R&D expenses for the second quarter of 2024 decreased to $37.6 million from $51.2 million in the second quarter of 2023 (-26.6 percent y-o-y), primarily due to decreased spending on BCX10013 and the discontinuation of the BCX9930 program. These reductions were partially offset by increased investment in BCX17725, avoralstat and other discovery programs, and our ongoing ORLADEYO pediatric trial.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2024 increased to $61.2 million, compared to $51.0 million in the second quarter of 2023 (+20.0 percent y-o-y), primarily due to an increase in commercial expenses to support growing revenue, newly launched regions and expanded international operations. In addition, there was an increase in general and administrative expenses, primarily related to an increase in resourcing to support our accounting and IT functions.

Total operating expenses were $100.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $103.2 million in the second quarter of 2023 (-2.5 percent y-o-y). Non-cash stock compensation was $13.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. Total operating expenses, not including non-cash stock compensation for the second quarter of 2024 were $87.4 million, compared to $90.4 million in the second quarter of 2023 (-3.3 percent y-o-y).

The company generated a GAAP operating profit of $8.8 million in the second quarter of 2024. This compares to a GAAP operating loss of $20.7 million in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted for non-cash stock compensation, the non-GAAP operating profit was $21.9 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of $7.9 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Interest expense was $24.7 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $28.9 million in the second quarter of 2023 (-14.5 percent y-o-y). The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the amortization of interest associated with our royalty financing obligations.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $12.7 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to a net loss of $75.3 million, or $0.40 per share, for the second quarter of 2023. In the second quarter of 2023, there was a $29.0 million one-time debt extinguishment fee related to the close-out of the Athyrium debt facility. Excluding this one-time event, non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2023 was $0.24 per share.

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments totaled $338.1 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $415.7 million at June 30, 2023. Operating cash use for the second quarter of 2024 was $0.2 million.

On August 5, 2024 Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: ATNM) ("Actinium" or the "Company"), a leader in the development of Antibody Radiation Conjugates ("ARCs") and other targeted radiotherapies, reported a regulatory update on the Company’s planned Biologics License Application ("BLA") filing for Iomab-B in patients with active relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia ("r/r AML") (Press release, Actinium Pharmaceuticals, AUG 5, 2024, View Source [SID1234645327]). Iomab-B is an induction and conditioning targeted radiotherapy agent comprised of an anti-CD45 monoclonal antibody and Iodine-131 radioisotope payload. The Company announced that it has now concluded both its clinical and Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls ("CMC") interactions with the FDA regarding the BLA pathway for Iomab-B. Despite the SIERRA trial meeting the primary endpoint of durable Complete Remission ("dCR") with statistical significance (p-value<0.0001) and other positive secondary endpoints including Event Free Survival ("EFS") and safety, the FDA has now determined that demonstrating an overall survival benefit in a randomized head-to-head trial is required for a BLA filing. The FDA has advised Actinium to conduct a study to evaluate allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT) using Iomab-B plus a reduced intensity conditioning regimen of fludarabine and total body irradiation ("Flu/TBI") versus allogeneic BMT using reduced intensity conditioning comprised of cyclophosphamide plus Flu/TBI, a difference from the SIERRA trial, which had allowed physician’s choice of salvage therapies and heterogenous conditioning regimens in the control arm. Additionally, the proposed new study will not allow patients to crossover from the control arm which was allowed in the SIERRA trial and confounded the overall survival analysis in the intent to treat ("ITT") patient population, as nearly 60% of patients crossed over from the control arm.

The Phase 3 SIERRA trial enrolled 153 patients with r/r AML and compared outcomes of patients receiving Iomab-B and BMT to patients receiving physician’s choice of care with salvage chemotherapy and standard allogeneic BMT in the control arm. In February 2023, Actinium announced that the SIERRA trial met the primary endpoint with statistical significance as 22% of patients (13/76) on the Iomab-B arm achieved dCR compared to 0% of patients (0/77) on the control arm resulting in a p-value of <0.0001. The SIERRA trial was conducted in accordance with guidance from the End of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA, which stated that positive results for dCR as the primary endpoint would be an acceptable endpoint to support an Iomab-B BLA filing. SIERRA did not meet the secondary endpoint of overall survival on an intent to treat basis analysis due to the high crossover rate with nearly 60% of control arm patients receiving Iomab-B followed by a BMT. Over the last several years, a majority of therapies for patients with AML have been approved based on achieving a positive overall survival endpoint.

Actinium presented several additional analyses from the SIERRA study to the FDA including long-term follow-up that demonstrated a trend towards improved overall survival and evidence of survival benefit in patients with high-risk TP53 mutations to support Iomab-B’s impact on overall survival. The SIERRA trial data were presented in 12 oral presentations at several leading bone marrow transplant, hematology and nuclear medicine conferences in both the U.S. and Europe, which Actinium believes demonstrates the high unmet medical need and scientific importance of Iomab-B’s ability to provide improved access and outcomes for patients with active r/r AML to the transplant community. However, the FDA has now determined that the analyses from the SIERRA trial do not adequately support a BLA filing for Iomab-B and requires an additional clinical study. Actinium expects the safety and efficacy data from the SIERRA trial will provide supportive evidence for a future Iomab-B BLA filing.

Key Outcomes and Implications of FDA Interactions

- Phase 3 SIERRA trial results are not adequate to support a BLA filing for Iomab-B in patients with active r/r AML

- FDA is requiring an additional randomized head-to-head trial to demonstrate an overall survival benefit evaluating allogeneic BMT using Iomab-B plus a reduced intensity conditioning regimen of fludarabine and total body irradiation (Flu/TBI) to allogeneic BMT using reduced intensity conditioning comprised of cyclophosphamide plus Flu/TBI

- Proposed additional clinical trial to evaluate Iomab-B plus Flu/TBI compared to a single regimen comprised of cyclophosphamide plus Flu/TBI which differs from the SIERRA trial that allowed physician’s choice of salvage therapy and heterogenous conditioning regimens in the control arm

- The proposed additional clinical trial will not allow crossover, which was allowed in SIERRA, and confounded the overall survival analysis in the intent to treat (ITT) patient population as nearly 60% of patients crossed over from the control arm

- Actinium intends to further discuss the specifics of the additional clinical trial including the patient population, which the FDA has suggested could include all adult AML patients

- Upon conclusion of its interactions with the FDA, Actinium will seek a strategic partner for Iomab-B for the U.S.

Dr. Avinash Desai, Actinium’s Chief Medical Officer, said, "While this is not the outcome we expected, we will work with the FDA to further discuss specifics of the proposed randomized head-to-head clinical study to determine its strategic feasibility. The 12 oral presentations of the SIERRA results at prestigious bone marrow transplant, hematology and nuclear medicine medical conferences in the U.S. and EU are an attestation of the strong interest from the transplant community for better conditioning regimens due to the high unmet need. We are grateful to the patients, their families, as well as the study investigators and their staff who participated in the SIERRA trial. As a first of its kind study, SIERRA broadened the investigation of Iomab-B as a targeted induction and conditioning agent from a single center to twenty-four leading bone marrow transplant centers in North America, demonstrating its potential for the first time in a randomized, controlled study. Through the conduct of SIERRA, Actinium also built strong relationships with key thought leaders. This track record will provide a solid foundation to work with a partner on a subsequent Iomab-B trial, and we look forward to finalizing the path forward for Iomab-B in the U.S. with the FDA."

Sandesh Seth, Actinium’s Chairman and CEO, said, "We are disappointed that the positive results from the SIERRA trial are not deemed adequate by the FDA to support a BLA filing despite meeting the primary endpoint with statistical significance and producing positive efficacy and safety outcomes on several measures. SIERRA represented a first of its kind radiotherapeutic trial and demonstrated Actinium’s ability to execute seamlessly across manufacturing, supply chain, clinical development, and operations. We intend to leverage these capabilities as we continue to advance our highly differentiated antibody radiation conjugate pipeline for cell & gene therapy conditioning, hematology therapeutics and solid tumor candidates. We are committed to establishing the best development path forward for Iomab-B in the U.S. and finding a partner, while keeping internal resources and strategic priorities in focus."
