Developed plans following receipt of FDA feedback on trial protocol. TRANQUILITY II Phase 3 Trial Site Inspection Closed by FDA The Company believes the reliability of data from its TRANQUILITY II Phase 3 trial of BXCL501 is further supported by the FDA closure of its site inspection under 21 C.F.R.20.64(d)(3) and release of the Establishment Inspection Report designating “Voluntary Action Indicated” for the site. IGALMI® Market Presence The Company is continuing to supply IGALMI® (dexmedetomidine) sublingual film to current and future patients and providers through existing distribution channels, with minimal commercial support. Equity Financing Closed $14 million equity financing and strengthened cash position to approximately $35 million, as of March 4, 2025, to advance SERENITY program. Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results Net revenue from IGALMI® was $366,000 for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $376,000 for the same period in 2023. Net revenue from IGALMI® was $2.3 million for the full year of 2024, compared to $1.4 million for 2023. Cost of Goods Sold for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, were $832,000 and $714,000, respectively. Cost of goods sold is related to the costs to produce, package, and deliver IGALMI to customers, as well as costs related to excess or obsolete inventory. The increase in Cost of goods sold for the three months ended December 31, 2024 is the result of higher charges for reserves for excess or obsolete inventory compared to the same period in 2023. Charges for reserves for excess or obsolete inventory were $778,000 and $696,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cost of Goods Sold was $2.1 million for the full year of 2024, compared to $1.3 million for 2023. The increase in Cost of goods sold is the result of higher charges for reserves for excess or obsolete inventory in 2024 compared to 2023. Charges for reserves for excess or obsolete inventory were $2.0 million and $1.2 million for 2024 and 2023, respectively. Research and Development (R&D) expenses were $5.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $9.9 million for the same period in 2023. R&D expenses were $30.4 million for the full year of 2024, compared to $84.3 million for the full year of 2023. The decreased expenses for both the fourth quarter and the full year were primarily attributable to a decrease in clinical trial activity associated with previously completed Phase 3 studies, a decrease in chemical, manufacturing, and control (CMC) costs, and a decrease in personnel related to the company’s reprioritization. Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses were $4.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $9.6 million for the same period in 2023. SG&A expenses were $34.5 million for the full year 2024, compared to $83.4 million for 2023. The decreased costs for the fourth quarter and the full year 2024 were primarily attributable to a decrease in personnel and related costs, lower non-cash stock compensation costs, lower legal and professional fees, and lower commercial and marketing costs resulting from restructuring actions taken in 2024 and 2023. Net Loss: BioXcel Therapeutics had a net loss of $10.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to a net loss of $22.3 million for the same period in 2023. For the full year of 2024, BioXcel Therapeutics reported a net loss of $59.6 million, compared to a net loss of $179.1 million for the full year of 2023. The loss for the 2024 year includes approximately $6.2 million in non-cash stock-based compensation. Total cash used in operating activities for 2024 totaled approximately $72.0 million, down $83.0 million from 2023 cash used in operating activities of approximately $155.0 million. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $29.9 million on December 31, 2024, compared to $65.2 million on December 31, 2023. About BXCL501Outside of its approved indication by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as IGALMI® (dexmedetomidine) sublingual film, BXCL501 is an investigational proprietary, orally dissolving film formulation of dexmedetomidine, a selective alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist. BXCL501 is under investigation by BioXcel Therapeutics for the acute treatment of agitation associated with Alzheimer’s dementia and for the acute treatment of agitation associated with bipolar I or II disorder or schizophrenia in the at-home setting. The safety and efficacy of BXCL501 for these investigational uses have not been established. BXCL501 has been granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA for the acute treatment of agitation associated with dementia and Fast Track designation for the acute treatment of agitation associated with schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, and dementia. About the SERENITY At-Home Phase 3 TrialThe SERENITY At-Home Phase 3 trial is a double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the safety of a 120 mcg dose of BXCL501 for the acute treatment of agitation associated with bipolar disorders or schizophrenia in the at-home setting. The trial is evaluating 200 patients with a history of agitation episodes residing at home either alone or with caregivers/informants. Patients will self-administer 120 mcg of BXCL501 or placebo when agitation episodes occur over the 12-week trial period, with safety data (adverse events) collected during the trial. Patients or caregivers/informants will complete a modified global impression of severity (mCGIs) and a clinical global impression of change (mCGI-C) two hours after dosing as an exploratory endpoint to evaluate use in the outpatient setting. About the TRANQUILITY In-Care Phase 3 TrialThe TRANQUILITY In-Care trial is designed as a double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a 60 mcg dose of BXCL501 over a 12-week period for agitation associated with Alzheimer’s dementia in the care setting. The trial is expected to enroll approximately 150 patients 55 years and older who have mild, moderate, or severe dementia with mini-mental state examination scores of 0 to 25 and who reside in skilled nursing facilities, memory care units, or assisted living facilities. Patients will self-administer 60 mcg of BXCL501 or placebo when episodic agitation episodes occur over the trial period. The primary endpoint is expected to be a change from baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale-Excitatory Component (PEC) total score at two hours post-first dose. Additional PEC and Clinical Global Impressions – Improvement Scale measurements will also be obtained during the trial. About IGALMI® (dexmedetomidine) sublingual film INDICATION IGALMI® (dexmedetomidine) sublingual film is a prescription medicine, administered under the supervision of a health care provider, that is placed under the tongue or behind the lower lip and is used for the acute treatment of agitation associated with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder I or II in adults. The safety and effectiveness of IGALMI has not been studied beyond 24 hours from the first dose. It is not known if IGALMI is safe and effective in children. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION IGALMI can cause serious side effects, including: Decreased blood pressure, low blood pressure upon standing, and slower than normal heart rate, which may be more likely in patients with low blood volume, diabetes, chronic high blood pressure, and older patients. IGALMI is taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider who will monitor vital signs (like blood pressure and heart rate) and alertness after IGALMI is administered to help prevent falling or fainting. Patients should be adequately hydrated and sit or lie down after taking IGALMI and instructed to tell their healthcare provider if they feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint.Heart rhythm changes (QT interval prolongation). IGALMI should not be given to patients with an abnormal heart rhythm, a history of an irregular heartbeat, slow heart rate, low potassium, low magnesium, or taking other drugs that could affect heart rhythm. Taking IGALMI with a history of abnormal heart rhythm can increase the risk of torsades de pointes and sudden death. Patients should be instructed to tell their healthcare provider immediately if they feel faint or have heart palpitations.Sleepiness/drowsiness. Patients should not perform activities requiring mental alertness, such as driving or operating hazardous machinery, for at least 8 hours after taking IGALMI. Withdrawal reactions, tolerance, and decreased response/efficacy. IGALMI was not studied for longer than 24 hours after the first dose. Physical dependence, withdrawal symptoms (e.g., nausea, vomiting, agitation), and decreased response to IGALMI may occur if IGALMI is used longer than 24 hours. The most common side effects of IGALMI in clinical studies were sleepiness or drowsiness, a prickling or tingling sensation or numbness of the mouth, dizziness, dry mouth, low blood pressure, and low blood pressure upon standing. These are not all the possible side effects of IGALMI. Patients should speak with their healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects. Patients should tell their healthcare provider about their medical history, including if they suffer from any known heart problems, low potassium, low magnesium, low blood pressure, low heart rate, diabetes, high blood pressure, history of fainting, or liver impairment. They should also tell their healthcare provider if they are pregnant or breastfeeding or take any medicines, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Patients should especially tell their healthcare provider if they take any drugs that lower blood pressure, change heart rate, or take anesthetics, sedatives, hypnotics, and opioids.
