Metastatic Cholangiocarcinoma

WALTHAM, Mass., March 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Checkpoint Therapeutics, Inc. (“Checkpoint”) (Nasdaq: CKPT), a clinical-stage immunotherapy and targeted oncology company, today announced financial results for the full-year ended December 31, 2023, and recent corporate highlights. James F. Oliviero, President and Chief Executive Officer of Checkpoint, said, “We continue to work closely with our third-party contract manufacturing organization to expeditiously resolve the deficiencies noted in the complete response letter (“CRL”) we received last December, and are targeting a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) resubmission for cosibelimab by mid-year to potentially obtain marketing approval before the end of 2024. Simultaneously, we continue to execute on a select number of key long lead time commercial launch preparation activities to shorten our launch timeline in anticipation of a potential approval. We remain highly confident in the clinical data and safety package in support of cosibelimab. We look forward to providing additional updates in the second quarter.” 2023 and Recent Corporate Highlights: Checkpoint submitted a BLA to the FDA seeking approval of cosibelimab in January 2023 and the FDA accepted the BLA for filing in March 2023. In December 2023, the FDA issued a CRL for the cosibelimab BLA. The CRL only cited findings that arose during a multi-sponsor inspection of Checkpoint’s third-party contract manufacturing organization as approvability issues to address in a resubmission. The CRL did not state any concerns about the clinical data package, safety, or labeling for the approvability of cosibelimab. Checkpoint intends to address the feedback in a BLA resubmission to potentially enable marketing approval in 2024.In December 2023, Checkpoint announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) issued a new patent (U.S. Patent No. 11,834,505) covering a method of treating various cancers, including cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (“cSCC”), through the administration of cosibelimab. Checkpoint secured U.S. patent protection for cosibelimab through at least May 2038.In October 2023, Checkpoint announced the publication of results from the multicenter, multiregional, pivotal trial evaluating cosibelimab in patients with metastatic cSCC in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer (JITC), the peer-reviewed, online journal of the Society of Immunotherapy of Cancer. The paper, entitled, “Efficacy and Safety of Cosibelimab, an Anti–PD-L1 Antibody, in Metastatic Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma”, describes safety and efficacy results from 78 patients with metastatic cSCC enrolled at clinical sites in eight countries.In July 2023, Checkpoint announced new, longer-term data for cosibelimab from its pivotal studies in locally advanced and metastatic cSCC. These results demonstrate a deepening of response over time, resulting in higher complete response rates than previously reported (55% objective response rate; 26% complete response rate in locally advanced cSCC and 50% objective response rate; 13% complete response rate in metastatic cSCC). Furthermore, responses continue to remain durable over time.In June 2023, Checkpoint announced that new pharmacokinetic (“PK”) modeling data on cosibelimab supporting the extension to an every-three-week dosing regimen were presented at the Population Approach Group Europe 2023 Annual Meeting. Results support comparability of the cosibelimab 800 mg every-two-week and 1200 mg every-three-week dosing regimens.Throughout 2023 and in January 2024, Checkpoint completed multiple registered direct offerings priced At-the-Market under Nasdaq rules and concurrent private placements of two series of warrants to purchase Checkpoint common stock, for total gross proceeds of approximately $47.6 million. Additionally, in October 2023, Checkpoint announced entry into a definitive agreement for the immediate exercise of warrants for $11.1 million in gross proceeds.In March 2024, Checkpoint announced the appointment of accomplished life sciences executive, Amit Sharma, M.D., FACP, FASN, FNKF, currently Vice President of Clinical Development and Therapeutic Head for Nephrology and Hematology at Alexion, AstraZeneca Rare Disease, as a non-executive director to Checkpoint’s Board of Directors. Financial Results: Cash Position: As of December 31, 2023, Checkpoint’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $4.9 million, compared to $12.1 million at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $7.2 million. This cash position is not reflective of the registered direct offering that closed in January 2024 for total gross proceeds of approximately $14.0 million.R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023, were $43.6 million, compared to $49.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $6.2 million. Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 included $4.6 million of non-cash stock expenses, compared to $2.8 million in non-cash stock expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022.G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses for both the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, were $8.7 million. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 included $2.7 million of non-cash stock expenses, compared to $2.5 million in non-cash stock expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022.Net Loss: Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $51.8 million, or $3.17 per share, compared to a net loss of $62.6 million, or $7.09 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2022.

WILMINGTON, Del.--( BUSINESS WIRE )--Incyte (Nasdaq:INCY) today reports 2023 fourth quarter financial results, provides 2024 financial guidance and provides a status update on the Company’s research and development portfolio. "We delivered a strong 2023 with total net product and royalty revenues of $3.7 billion, increasing 14% versus 2022. In the fourth quarter, we achieved for the first time, a new milestone of $1 billion in total quarterly revenues, driven by the continued growth of Jakafi ® (ruxolitinib) and the successful launch of Opzelura ® (ruxolitinib) cream," said Hervé Hoppenot, Chief Executive Officer, Incyte. "Throughout 2023, we focused our R&D efforts on high potential programs and believe we are positioned to deliver more than ten high impact launches by 2030." Key Product Sales Performance Jakafi: Net product revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023 of $695 million; 2023 full year net product revenues of $2.59 billion Fourth quarter 2023 net product revenues grew 7% compared with the fourth quarter of 2022 and grew 8% for the full year 2023 when compared to 2022. Fourth quarter revenues were negatively impacted by an increase in the number of Medicare Part D patients receiving free product and were positively impacted by an increase in channel inventory. Opzelura: Net product revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023 of $109 million; 2023 full year net product revenues of $338 million: Net product revenues of $109 million grew 78% compared with the fourth quarter of 2022, driven by growth in patient demand, refills and expansion in payer coverage as the launch in atopic dermatitis (AD) and vitiligo continues. For the full-year, 2023 net product revenues grew 162% over the prior year to $338 million. On January 31, 2024, Incyte received approval in France to promote and distribute Opzelura for vitiligo under a process called “Accès Direct.” This process is intended to allow for early access to a therapy while a final price is negotiated, which is expected to take up to twelve months. Once price reimbursement is determined, Incyte will begin recognizing revenue in France. Key Recent Updates In February 2024, Incyte entered into an asset purchase agreement with MorphoSys AG which gave Incyte exclusive global rights for tafasitamab, a humanized Fc-modified CD19-targeting immunotherapy marketed in the U.S. as Monjuvi ® (tafasitamab-cxix) and outside of the U.S. as Minjuvi ® (tafasitamab). Under the terms of the agreement, MorphoSys received a payment of $25 million from Incyte, and Incyte gained global development and commercialization rights for tafasitamab. Incyte will recognize revenue and cost for all U.S. commercialization and clinical development and MorphoSys will no longer be eligible to receive future milestone, profit split and royalty payments. In January 2024, Incyte announced the primary endpoint was met in its randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of ruxolitinib cream (Opzelura ® ) in adults with mild/moderate hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). At Week 16, patients receiving ruxolitinib cream 1.5% twice daily (BID) had significantly greater decreases from baseline versus placebo in total abscess and inflammatory nodule (AN) count, the primary endpoint of the study. The overall safety profile of ruxolitinib cream was consistent with previous data, and no new safety signals were observed. The Phase 2 data is anticipated to be presented at an upcoming scientific meeting in 2024. A Phase 3 study is currently being evaluated. In January 2024, Incyte highlighted promising early clinical efficacy data for its selective inhibitor of CDK2 (INCB123667), which demonstrated its potential use as monotherapy or combination therapy for late-stage cancers. In a Phase 1 study of INCB123667, early clinical activity was observed with several partial responses (PR) achieved in patients with amplification/over expression of CCNE1, a cell cycle regulator and potential predictive biomarker. Tumor shrinkage was observed across multiple tumor types, including CCNE1 patients with ovarian cancer. The safety profile of for INCB123667 aligns with the mechanism of action. Additional data is expected to be presented in 2024. In December 2023, in collaboration with Syndax Pharmaceuticals, the Biologics License Application (BLA) was submitted for axatilimab in chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) with approval anticipated in the second half of 2024. Plans are underway to initiate two combination trials with axatilimab in cGVHD in mid-2024, including a Phase 2 combination trial with ruxolitinib and a Phase 3 combination trial with steroids. JAK2V617Fi (INCB160058), a potent and selective JAK2 pseudokinase domain binder, cleared the Investigational New Drug (IND) process with the FDA and a Phase 1 study is anticipated to initiate in the first half of 2024. INCB160058 has the potential to be a disease modifying therapy and to address a significant patient population. The JAK2 mutation is found in 55% of primary myelofibrosis, 95% of polycythemia vera and 60% of essential thrombocythemia patients. A Phase 1 study of KRASG12D (INCB161734) in patients with advanced metastatic solid tumors with a KRAS G12D mutation was recently initiated and the first patient was dosed. KRAS mutations are one of the most common genetic abnormalities in cancer, especially pancreatic and colorectal cancers. In December 2023, Incyte received FDA feedback and agreed to the path forward for once daily (QD) ruxolitinib (XR). The potential approval of QD ruxolitinib (XR) is anticipated in approximately two years. Additional Pipeline Updates Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs) and Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GVHD) – key highlights In December 2023, Incyte presented more than 40 hematology and oncology abstracts including a Plenary Scientific Session at the 2023 ASH Annual Meeting. The plenary presentation featured the full data from AGAVE-201 evaluating axatilimab, an anti-CSFR-1R monoclonal antibody, in patients with cGVHD. Other key highlights included additional data from the Phase 1/2 Study of zilurgisertib (INCB000928), Phase 1 data of BETi (INCB057643) and preclinical data of JAK2V617Fi (INCB160058). Combination trials of ruxolitinib twice daily (BID) with zilurgisertib (INCB000928) and BETi (INCB057643) are ongoing and continue to enroll. Incyte anticipates initiating a Phase 3 study for BETi in the second half of 2024 and achieving clinical proof-of-concept for zilurgisertib by mid-2024. The Phase 1 study evaluating the mCALR monoclonal antibody (INCA033989) is ongoing and enrolling patients.

Management believes that Non-GAAP information is useful for investors, when considered in conjunction with Incyte’s GAAP disclosures. Management uses such information internally and externally for establishing budgets, operating goals and financial planning purposes. These metrics are also used to manage the Company’s business and monitor performance. The Company adjusts, where appropriate, for expenses in order to reflect the Company’s core operations. The Company believes these adjustments are useful to investors by providing an enhanced understanding of the financial performance of the Company’s core operations. The metrics have been adopted to align the Company with disclosures provided by industry peers. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used in conjunction with and to supplement Incyte’s operating results as reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP measures may be defined and calculated differently by other companies in our industry. As changes in exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, Management believes the presentation of certain revenue results on a constant currency basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors’ ability to understand its operating results and evaluate its performance in comparison to prior periods. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period over period. The Company calculates constant currency by calculating current year results using prior year foreign currency exchange rates and generally refers to such amounts calculated on a constant currency basis as excluding the impact of foreign exchange or being on a constant currency basis.

Jakafi fourth quarter revenues were negatively impacted by an increase in the number of Medicare Part D patients receiving free product and were positively impacted by an increase in channel inventory. Opzelura net product revenues for the quarter were $109 million, representing a 78% increase year-over-year driven by growth in new patient starts and refills.

Cost of product revenues GAAP and Non-GAAP cost of product revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 increased 18% and 20%, respectively, and for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased 23% and 26% compared to the same periods in 2022 due to growth in net product revenues and inventory reserves for obsolescence. Research and development expenses GAAP and Non-GAAP research and development expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 decreased 11% and 13%, respectively, and for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased 3% and 2%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. The decrease for the quarter was primarily due to the $70 million upfront payment made as part of the Villaris asset acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2022, offset in part by the $20 million development milestone payment to former Villaris stockholders in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase for the full year was primarily due to continued investment in our late stage development assets. Selling, general and administrative expenses GAAP and Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 increased 8% and 7%, respectively, and for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased 16% and 15%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily due to expenses related to promotional activities to support the launch of Opzelura for the treatment of vitiligo. Other Financial Information Change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration The change in fair value of contingent consideration during the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022, was due primarily to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates impacting future revenue projections of Iclusig. Operating income GAAP and Non-GAAP operating income for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased 7% and 11%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily driven by growth in product revenues. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities position As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $3.7 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively. 2024 Financial Guidance Incyte's guidance includes revenues and expenses related to the recently announced acquisition of exclusive global rights to tafasitamab and excludes any potential impact related to the accounting treatment of the $25 million purchase price paid.

The company, whose shares declined as much as 42% on the news, said the letter cited issues at a third-party contract manufacturer.The marketing application was supported by a pivotal trial in which cosibelimab achieved its primary endpoint with a confirmed objective response rate (ORR) of 47.4% based on a review of 78 patients enrolled in the metastatic cSCC cohort. Median duration of response, based March 2022 cutoff, had not been reached, although the longest duration at that point was 32-plus months., according to analysts at Ladenburg Thalmann.Later results found that the drug was associated with a confirmed ORR of 54.8% among 31 patients enrolled in the trial's locally advanced cSCC cohort. When those data were release in June 22, Checkpoint noted that the benefit "substantially [exceeded] a clinically meaningful lower bound of the 95% two-sided confidence interval of 25%."Updated metastatic cSCC data, from a January 2023 data cut, show the ORR increased to 50%, while it remained at roughly 55% for locally advanced cSCC patients. The study was recently published in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer.Issues at third-party manufacturerAccording to Checkpoint, the FDA's letter "only cites findings that arose during a multi-sponsor inspection of [the company's] third-party contract manufacturing organisation as approvability issues to address in a resubmission." However, the the company noted that the FDA's letter did not raise any concerns about the clinical data package, safety or labeling for cosibelimab."As the only deficiencies relate to the FDA's inspection of our third-party contract manufacturing organisation, we believe we can address the feedback in a resubmission to enable marketing approval in 2024," said CEO James Oliviero.Prior to the FDA decision, analysts at Ladenburg Thalmann suggested "the compelling efficacy and safety profile of cosibelimab could enable it to become the first approved PD-1/PD-L1 with competitive pricing."
