Pegunigalsidase alfa

Company to host conference call and webcast today at 8:30 a.m. EDT CARMIEL, Israel, May 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Protalix BioTherapeutics, Inc. (NYSE American: PLX), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, production and commercialization of recombinant therapeutic proteins produced by its proprietary ProCellEx® plant cell-based protein expression system, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and provided a business and clinical update. "We had another solid quarter, with an increase in revenues from selling goods compared to the prior year quarter," said Dror Bashan, Protalix's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Given the promising results obtained in 2024 from our first-in-human study of our gout candidate, PRX-115, we are focused on building on the momentum and working toward initiating a phase II clinical trial in patients with gout later this year. At the same time, we continued to evaluate additional pipeline candidates for potential further development, including PRX-119 as well as various early-stage clinical assets." First Quarter 2025 and Recent Business and Clinical Highlights Pipeline Developments PRX-115 In 2024, we successfully completed the First-in-Human (FIH) phase I clinical trial of PRX-115, our recombinant PEGylated uricase product candidate in development as a potential treatment for uncontrolled gout. The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD; reduction of uric acid) following a single dose of PRX-115 in subjects with elevated uric acid levels. We are in the advance stages of preparations for the phase II clinical trial we expect to commence during the second half of 2025. The preliminary results of the FIH study demonstrate that PRX-115 has the potential to offer an effective uric acid-lowering treatment with an added benefit of a potentially wide dosing interval, which may enhance patient compliance and treatment flexibility. Further studies are needed to confirm the long-term safety and efficacy of PRX-115 in the gout patient population. The results were presented in a late-breaking poster at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Convergence 2024, being held November 14-19, 2024 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. A copy of the poster is available on the Protalix website here: . Pegunigalsidase alfa In March 2025, our global development and commercial partner, Chiesi Global Rare Diseases, announced multiple presentations on pegunigalsidase alfa and Fabry Disease at the 21st Annual WORLDSymposium™ Research Meeting. The Poster presentations are available in the publications section of Protalix's website. First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights We recorded revenues from selling goods of $10.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $6.3 million, or 170%, compared to revenues of $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase resulted primarily from an increase of $5.9 million in sales to Pfizer Inc. and an increase of $0.4 million in sales to Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, or Fiocruz (Brazil). We recorded revenues from license and R&D services of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the three months ended March 31, 2024. Revenues from license and R&D services are comprised primarily of revenues we recognized in connection with our license and supply agreements with Chiesi. We expect to generate minimal revenues from license and R&D services other than potential regulatory milestone payments. Cost of goods sold was $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $5.6 million, or 215%, from cost of goods sold of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in cost of goods sold resulted primarily from an increase in sales to Pfizer and Fiocruz (Brazil). For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our total research and development expenses were approximately $3.5 million comprised of approximately $1.8 million of salary and related expenses, approximately $0.8 million in subcontractor-related expenses, approximately $0.2 million of materials-related expenses and approximately $0.7 million of other expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our total research and development expenses were approximately $2.9 million comprised of approximately $1.5 million of salary and related expenses, approximately $0.5 million of subcontractor-related expenses, approximately $0.2 million of materials-related expenses and approximately $0.7 million of other expenses. Total increase in research and developments expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.6 million, or 21%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in research and development expenses resulted primarily from the advance in our clinical pipeline. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 16%, compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease of $0.4 million in salary and related expenses and a decrease of $0.1 million in selling expenses. Financial income, net was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to financial income, net of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The difference resulted primarily from lower notes interest expenses due to the September 2024 repayment in full of all the outstanding principal and interest payable under our then outstanding 7.50% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, partially offset by lower interest income on bank deposits and higher exchange rate costs. For the three months ended each of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, we recorded a tax benefit of approximately $(0.1) million. The tax benefit resulted primarily from deferred taxes on income mainly derived from GILTI income mainly in respect of Section 174 of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, or the TCJA. Effective in 2022, Section 174 of the TCJA requires all U.S. companies, for tax purposes, to capitalize and subsequently amortize R&D expenses that fall within the scope of Section 174 over five years for research activities conducted in the United States and over 15 years for research activities conducted outside of the United States rather than deducting such costs in the current year. Cash, cash equivalents and short term bank deposits were approximately $34.7 million at March 31, 2025. Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was approximately $3.6 million, or $0.05 per share, basic and diluted, compared to $4.6 million, or $0.06 per share, basic and diluted, for the same period in 2024.

Company to host conference call and webcast today at 8:30 a.m. EDT CARMIEL, Israel, March 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Protalix BioTherapeutics, Inc. (NYSE American: PLX), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, production and commercialization of recombinant therapeutic proteins produced by its proprietary ProCellEx® plant cell-based protein expression system, today reported financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and provided a business and clinical update. "2024 was a record year in revenues from selling goods for Protalix, as we experienced increases in all three of our revenue streams, Chiesi, Pfizer and Brazil," said Dror Bashan, Protalix's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased with the promising results from our first-in-human study of our gout candidate, PRX-115, in adult volunteers with elevated uric acid levels, and hope to build on this momentum with the goal of initiating a phase II clinical trial in patients with gout during the second half of 2025. At the same time, we continued to evaluate additional pipeline candidates, including PRX-119, for potential further development. Now that our debt is fully repaid and we no longer have outstanding warrants, our balance sheet is stronger and we are well-positioned to continue executing on our strategy through 2025 and beyond." Fiscal Year 2024 and Recent Business Highlights Pipeline and Clinical Developments In 2024, we successfully completed the First-in-Human (FIH) phase I clinical trial of PRX-115, our recombinant PEGylated uricase product candidate in development as a potential treatment for uncontrolled gout. The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD; reduction of uric acid) following a single dose of PRX-115 in subjects with elevated uric acid levels. The results of the FIH study demonstrate that PRX-115 has the potential to offer an effective uric acid-lowering treatment with an added benefit of a potentially wide dosing interval, which may enhance patient compliance and treatment flexibility. Further studies are needed to confirm the long-term safety and efficacy of PRX-115 in the gout patient population. The results were presented in a late-breaking poster at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Convergence 2024, being held November 14-19, 2024 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. A copy of the poster is available on the Protalix website here: . In June 2024, we hosted an Investor Day highlighting current treatment landscapes and clinical results for Fabry disease and uncontrolled gout. The event featured presentations from key opinion leaders (KOLs) Aleš Linhart, D.Sc., FESC (Charles University, Prague) and Naomi Schlesinger, M.D. (University of Utah). Our leadership also provided insight into our strategy and future plans. The KOL presentation slides can be found in the Presentations section of the Protalix website: . Pegunigalsidase alfa In December 2024, we and our global development and commercial partner, Chiesi Global Rare Diseases, announced that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) validated the Variation Submission for pegunigalsidase alfa to label a less frequent dosing regimen at a dose of 2 mg/kg administered every four weeks in adult patients with Fabry disease. The variation submission is supported by a revised Population-PK model and new exposure-response analyses, and by the clinical data on pegunigalsidase alfa 2 mg/kg every four weeks from our completed phase III BRIGHT clinical trial of pegunigalsidase alfa (PB-102-F50) and the ongoing extension study. Corporate Developments In September 2024, we repaid in full all of the outstanding principal and interest payable under our then outstanding 7.50% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due September 2024. The repayment of the convertible notes at maturity was financed entirely with available cash. Since December 31, 2024, we issued 908,000 shares of our common stock in connection with the exercise of warrants issued in 2020 generating proceeds equal to approximately $2.1 million from such exercises. The warrants expired on March 11, 2025. Accordingly, no warrants remain outstanding. Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Highlights We recorded revenues from selling goods of $53.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $12.6 million, or 31%, compared to revenues of $40.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase resulted primarily from an increase of $11.8 million in sales to Chiesi, an increase of $0.6 million in sales to Brazil and an increase of $0.1 million in sales to Pfizer Inc., or Pfizer. We recorded revenues from license and R&D services of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $24.7 million, or 98%, compared to revenues of $25.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Revenues from license and R&D services are comprised primarily of revenues we recognized in connection with the Company's license and supply agreements with Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A., or Chiesi. The revenues from license and R&D services for the year ended December 31, 2023 included the $20.0 million regulatory milestone payment from Chiesi in connection with the approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of Elfabrio® granted during that period. The remaining decrease resulted from the completion of our revenue-generating research and development obligations with respect to Elfabrio and, as Elfabrio was approved in the United States and the European Union in May 2023, from the completion of the regulatory processes related to the review of the Biologics License Application (BLA) and the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for Elfabrio by the FDA and EMA, respectively. As a result of the completion of the Fabry clinical program in 2023, we expect to generate minimal revenues from license and R&D services other than potential regulatory and commercial milestone payments. Cost of goods sold was $24.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $1.3 million, or 6%, compared to cost of goods sold of $23.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily the result of the increase in sales to Chiesi. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2023 a portion of the costs for certain drug substance sold were recognized as research and development expenses, not cost of goods sold, as such drug substance was produced as part of our research and development activities. For the year ended December 31, 2024, our total research and development expenses were approximately $13.0 million comprised of approximately $7.1 million of salary and related expenses, approximately $2.4 million in subcontractor-related expenses, approximately $0.9 million of materials-related expenses and approximately $2.6 million of other expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2023, our total research and development expenses were approximately $17.1 million comprised of approximately $7.8 million of salary and related expenses, approximately $6.3 million in subcontractor-related expenses, approximately $0.6 million of materials-related expenses and approximately $2.4 million of other expenses. Total decrease in research and developments expenses was $4.1 million, or 24%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in research and development expenses resulted primarily from the completion of our Fabry clinical program and the regulatory processes related to the BLA and MAA review of Elfabrio by the applicable regulatory agencies. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 19%, from $15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease of $1.8 million in professional fees and of $1.0 million in salaries and related expenses. Financial income, net was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to financial expenses, net of $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The difference resulted primarily from a decrease of approximately $1.4 million in lower interest and related expenses due to the conversion of notes in 2023 and the September 2024 repayment in full of all the outstanding principal and interest payable under the remaining notes, as well as an increase in interest income, net of $0.7 million. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded income taxes of approximately $1.2 million, an increase of $0.9 million, or 300%, compared to income taxes of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The income taxes resulted primarily from the provision for current taxes on income mainly derived from GILTI income mainly in respect of Section 174 of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the TCJA. Effective in 2022, Section 174 of the TCJA requires all U.S. companies, for tax purposes, to capitalize and subsequently amortize R&D expenses that fall within the scope of Section 174 over five years for research activities conducted in the United States and over 15 years for research activities conducted outside of the United States rather than deducting such costs in the current year. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits were approximately $34.8 million at December 31, 2024. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was approximately $2.9 million, or $0.04 per share, basic and diluted, compared to $8.3 million or $0.12 per share, basic, and $0.09 per share, diluted, for the same period in 2023.
