Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling plays a key role in regulating epidermal cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation. Keratins form a scaffold with epidermal desmosomes that involves ErbB/ EGFR signaling and keratin deficiency makes keratinocytes more sensitive to EGFR activation. Erlotinib, an EGFR inhibitor, was approved 20 years ago for cancer treatment and is generally used at 150 mg daily in adults >50 kg. While gastrointestinal and cutaneous side effects commonly occur at doses of 150 mg, adverse events occur less often at lower doses. We first reported erlotinib as effective for Olmsted syndrome, a rare hereditary EDD with painful PPK that results from variants in TRPV3. Erlotinib is now the treatment of choice for children and adults with Olmsted syndrome. Erlotinib is thought to inhibit formation of a complex that includes TRPV3, EGFR, and its primary skin-based ligand, TGF-a, which in turn regulates keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation. High-throughput screening to identify compounds that stabilize keratin filaments have also pointed to the EGFR pathway for targeting. Reviews and recent case reports have suggested the benefit of erlotinib for PC,
Given these preliminary data, we hypothesize that EGFR activation is a characteristic feature of keratinopathies. Further, we expect that oral low-dose erlotinib will improve the scaling and skin thickening of the spectrum of keratinopathies and be tolerated by most patients. For those who experience pain, particularly from plantar involvement, we predict that erlotinib therapy will improve mobility and pain. Finally, we aim to find the mechanism by which erlotinib improves the phenotypes of the various keratinopathies to better understand these disorders and predict response. We will look specifically at the impact on differentiation vs. hyperproliferation and barrier function, as well as the immune modulatory effects of the erlotinib using a multi-omics approach.

Exploring the molecular mechanisms network of breast cancer by multi‐omics analysis

Article

Author: Wang, Qiuqiong ; Jiang, Wei ; Zhang, Yanjun

Abstract:

Background:

Breast cancer (BC), the most prevalent malignancy in women globally, still lacks comprehensive research on its molecular targets and necessitates further investigation into the underlying molecular mechanisms driving its initiation and progression.

Methods:

The GSE20685 Series Matrix File downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database was divided into a high‐risk group (n = 49) and a low‐risk group (n = 278) to construct the co‐expression network.

Results:

Four hub genes were identified based on the Weighted Gene Co‐expression Network Analysis. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes functional enrichment analyses were performed. Hub gene immune infiltration was investigated using the Tumor Immune Estimation Resource database, and CD4+ T cell expression levels were substantially correlated with hub gene expression. Based on the CancerRxGene database (Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer database), it was found that the hub genes were highly sensitive to common chemotherapy drugs such as AKT inhibitor VIII and Erlotinib. The expression of Secreted Frizzled‐Related Protein 1, melanoma‐inhibiting activity (MIA), and Keratin 14 was related to tumor mutation burden, and the expression of MIA also affected the microsatellite instability of the tumor. This study employs multi‐omics analysis to investigate the molecular network associated with the prognosis of BC, highlighting its intricate connection with the immune microenvironment.

Conclusion:

These findings pinpoint four crucial genes in BC progression, offering targets for further research and therapy. Their connections to immune infiltration and chemotherapy sensitivity underscore complex interactions in the tumor microenvironment.

First-line osimertinib compared to earlier generation TKIs in advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC: A real-world survival analysis

Article

Author: Califano, Raffaele ; Gomes, Fabio ; Cil, Emine ; Gomez-Randulfe, Igor ; Scanlon, Lauren A ; Carter, Mathew ; Lewis, Jacob ; Summers, Yvonne ; Moliner, Laura ; Lindsay, Colin R ; Blackhall, Fiona

OBJECTIVES:

This study aimed to compare the overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with first-line osimertinib versus earlier-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in a real-world setting. Secondary endpoint included OS in patients with uncommon EGFR mutations. Exploratory aim focused on the impact of TKIs sequencing strategies.

METHODS:

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC who started first-line treatment with either osimertinib or another EGFR TKI (afatinib, erlotinib, or gefitinib) at The Christie (Manchester, UK) from January 2014 to May 2023. Data were extracted from electronic health records, and survival outcomes were analysed using Kaplan-Meier estimates and Cox proportional hazards models.

RESULTS:

We identified 119 patients treated with first-line osimertinib and 217 with other EGFR TKIs. In the whole population, median age was 69 years (IQR 59.8-77) and 67.3 % of the patients had an ECOG 0-1. With a median follow-up of 73.2 months (95 % CI 66.2-115.7) and 30.6 months (95 % CI 26.0-38.4) in the earlier-generation TKIs and the osimertinib groups, respectively, the median OS was comparable (16.6 vs 16.9 months; HR = 1, p = 0.97). Patients with uncommon EGFR mutations (n = 48; 14.3 %) had poorer survival compared to those with common mutations (HR = 1.664, p = 0.002). Amongst patients who received two treatment lines, those who received osimertinib after another TKI had a shorter OS than those who received osimertinib first-line followed by another line of therapy (HR = 2.062, p = 0.022).

CONCLUSION:

First-line osimertinib showed comparable OS to earlier-generation EGFR TKIs for advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Patients with uncommon EGFR mutations had a poorer survival. Further research is warranted to optimize treatment for patients with uncommon EGFR mutations and to explore the cost-effectiveness of different sequencing approaches.

Design and Synthesis of Dual Galectin‐3 and EGFR Inhibitors Against Liver Fibrosis

Article

Author: Li, Qing ; Ding, Kan ; Liu, Shuanglin ; Zhao, Guilong ; He, Fei ; Jin, Can

Abstract:

Liver fibrosis, mainly arising from chronic viral or metabolic liver diseases, is a significant global health concern. There is currently only one FDA‐approved drug (Resmetirom) in the market to combat liver fibrosis. Both galectin‐3 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) play important roles in liver fibrosis, while galectin‐3 may interact with EGFR. Galectin‐3 inhibitors, typically lactose or galactose derivatives may inhibit liver fibrosis. We hypothesized that targeting both galectin‐3 and EGFR may have better effect against liver fibrosis. Here, EGFR inhibitor erlotinib was used in a series of designed galectin‐3 inhibitors after hybridization with the pharmacophore structure in reported galectin‐3 inhibitors to impede hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) activation by a typical method of click chemistry. Bioactivity test results showed that compound 29 suppressed TGF‐β‐induced upregulation of fibrotic markers (α‐SMA, fibronectin‐1, and collagen I). The preferred compound 29 displayed better binding to galectin‐3 (KD=52.29 μM) and EGFR protein (KD=3.31 μM) by SPR assay. Further docking studies were performed to clarify the possible binding mode of compound 29 with galectin‐3 and EGFR. Taken together, these results suggested that compound 29 could be a potential dual galectin‐3 and EGFR inhibitor as leading compound for anti‐liver fibrosis new drug development.

RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) plus LAZCLUZE™ (lazertinib) show statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival versus osimertinib

Median overall survival improvement expected to exceed one year First and only regimen with a survival benefit over current standard of care in first-line treatment of EGFR-mutated lung cancer RARITAN, N.J., Jan. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) today announced positive topline results for the gold standard endpoint in cancer treatment of overall survival (OS) from the Phase 3 MARIPOSA study, evaluating RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) plus LAZCLUZE™ (lazertinib) as a first-line therapy for patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletions (ex19del) or L858R substitution mutations. The chemotherapy-free combination regimen met the final pre-specified secondary endpoint of OS and demonstrated clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement in OS versus the current standard of care osimertinib. Improvement in median OS is expected to exceed one year. Unlike progression-free survival (PFS), which tracks the time a treatment keeps a patient's cancer from progressing, OS helps patients understand the impact therapy could have on the ability to live longer from the start of treatment. Extending life expectancy is the most meaningful indicator of a treatment's impact. "The combination of these two agents previously demonstrated an improvement in progression-free survival, but this does not always capture the impact on the entire treatment course. Evaluation of overall survival can better demonstrate the benefit of a first-line treatment regimen," said Stephen Liu, M.D.*, Associate Professor of Medicine at Georgetown University School of Medicine and Director of Thoracic Oncology and Head of Developmental Therapeutics at Georgetown's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. "Seeing this increase in overall survival in a trial with mature data is powerful and reaffirms that first-line treatment with RYBREVANT and LAZCLUZE can lead to better patient outcomes." "Every milestone in clinical trials and every approval of a new drug or regimen brings hope and progress for EGFR-positive patients and their families," said Marcia Horn**, President of International Cancer Advocacy Network. "These topline data from the MARIPOSA trial offer renewed optimism in the journey to extend life for EGFR-mutated patients, adding another important option for patients and oncologists." "These new findings reinforce the clinically meaningful impact this chemotherapy-free regimen can have for patients worldwide with non-small cell lung cancer and represent the first overall survival benefit over the current standard of care," said Yusri Elsayed, M.D., M.H.Sc., Ph.D., Global Therapeutic Area Head, Oncology, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. "With less than 20 percent of patients living beyond five years, an incredible unmet need remains for EGFR-positive lung cancer. These MARIPOSA results show RYBREVANT plus LAZCLUZE can extend survival beyond the current standard of care, providing patients with more time and hope in their fight against this devastating disease. Extending median overall survival by more than a year could be transformative for these patients." Results from the final OS analysis build upon previously reported data from the interim analysis and positive results from the PFS analysis. MARIPOSA, which enrolled 1,074 patients, is a randomized, Phase 3 study evaluating RYBREVANT® in combination with LAZCLUZE™ versus osimertinib as a first-line treatment of patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC. The study's primary endpoint was PFS (using RECIST v1.1 guidelines***) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR). Secondary endpoints included OS, objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), second progression-free survival (PFS2) and intracranial PFS. The safety profile of RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE™ was generally consistent with the profiles of the individual treatments. Adverse event rates were consistent in this arm as compared to other RYBREVANT® regimens. Venous thromboembolic events were observed with the combination. Subsequent studies showed that administering oral anticoagulant medicines prophylactically during the initial four months of the RYBREVANT® and LAZCLUZE™ regimen significantly reduced the risk of thrombosis. Due to the impact of these data on patient care, these OS results will be presented at an upcoming major medical meeting, and will be shared with global health authorities. RYBREVANT® combined with LAZCLUZE™ is approved in the United States and Europe for the first-line treatment of patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC based on the MARIPOSA Phase 3 study.

This multitargeted, chemotherapy-free combination demonstrated superiority over osimertinib monotherapy for the first-line treatment of patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC 1 In the Phase 3 MARIPOSA study, amivantamab plus lazertinib significantly reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 30 percent versus osimertinib monotherapy 1 BEERSE, Belgium I Decemer 30, 2024 I Janssen-Cilag International NV, a Johnson & Johnson company, today announced that the European Commission (EC) has approved a Type II variation extension of indication for RYBREVANT ® ▼ (amivantamab), in combination with LAZCLUZE ® ▼ (lazertinib), for the first-line treatment of adult patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletions (ex19del) or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations. “For people living with advanced NSCLC harbouring EGFR mutations, new treatment options are urgently needed in the first-line setting,” said Enriqueta Felip, M.D., Ph.D, head of the thoracic cancer unit at Vall d’Hebron University Hospital, Barcelona, Spain*. “The amivantamab and lazertinib combination has shown significant progression-free survival improvements in patients with previously untreated EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC, including those with brain metastases, compared to osimertinib monotherapy. This approval by the European Commission offers the potential to broaden first-line treatment options and provide a new standard of care for eligible patients.” Lung cancer is Europe’s biggest cancer killer, with NSCLC accounting for 85 percent of all lung cancer cases. 2,3 EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC refers to a subtype of lung cancer based on specific mutations in the EGFR gene. 4 While there are different types of EGFR mutations, EGFR ex19del and EGFR exon 21 L858R are the most common, accounting for approximately 85-90 percent of mutations. 4 Patients are often treated with targeted therapies known as EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). 5 However, treatment resistance or disease reoccurrence remains a significant challenge and there is an urgent need for alternative, novel targeted therapies earlier in the treatment pathway to address resistance and improve survival outcomes. 6,7 “This approval marks significant progress for those living with the devastating impact of EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer, who too often face a poor prognosis and limited treatment options,” said Henar Hevia, Ph.D., Senior Director, EMEA Therapeutic Area Lead, Oncology. “The combination of amivantamab and lazertinib exemplifies the potential of targeted precision medicine, offering a tailored approach that addresses the underlying genetic drivers of the disease, and avoids or delays the need for chemotherapy.” The EC approval is supported by results from the Phase 3 MARIPOSA ( NCT04487080 ) study, evaluating amivantamab in combination with lazertinib compared to osimertinib as first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR ex19del or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations. 1 The study, which was featured during a Presidential Symposium session at the 2023 European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, met its primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS), and at median follow-up of 22 months, amivantamab plus lazertinib reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 30 percent compared to osimertinib (median PFS: 23.7 months versus 16.6 months; hazard ratio [HR]=0.70; 95 percent confidence interval [CI], 0.58–0.85; P <0.001) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR). 1 The median duration of response (DOR) was longer for patients receiving amivantamab plus lazertinib compared to osimertinib, with a nine-month improvement in median DOR (25.8 vs. 16.8 months). 1 The safety profile of the combination of amivantamab and lazertinib was consistent with previous reports from Phase 1-2 studies, with mostly Grade 1 or 2 adverse events (AEs). 1 Toxicity was largely manageable with dose interruptions and reductions, along with supportive care measures commonly used in the treatment of patients with NSCLC. 1 The most common treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of any grade were paronychia (68 percent), infusion-related reactions (63 percent), and rash (62 percent). 1 Amivantamab plus lazertinib had higher rates of EGFR- and MET-related AEs and venous thromboembolism compared to osimertinib, except diarrhoea, for which rates were higher for osimertinib. 1 The commonest grade 3 or higher TEAEs were rash (15 percent), paronychia (11 percent) and dermatitis acneiform (8 percent). 1 The rate of discontinuation of all study treatments due to treatment-related AEs for the amivantamab combination was 10 percent. 1 The rate of interstitial lung disease (including pneumonitis) was less than three percent in both arms. 1 An EC decision on a Marketing Authorisation (MA) for lazertinib for the corresponding combination regimen indication is pending, following a Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) positive opinion last month. 8 – ENDS – Notes to editors About the MARIPOSA Study MARIPOSA ( NCT04487080 ), which enrolled 1,074 patients, is a randomised, Phase 3 study evaluating amivantamab in combination with lazertinib versus osimertinib and versus lazertinib alone in first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR ex19del or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations. 1 The primary endpoint of the study is PFS (using RECIST v1.1 guidelines ‡ ) as assessed by BICR. 1 Secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), second progression free survival (PFS2) and intracranial PFS. 1 The MARIPOSA study required all patients to have serial brain imaging with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is important for a disease where almost 30 percent of patients develop brain metastases. 1,9 The primary endpoint of PFS in MARIPOSA included these central nervous system (CNS) events detected by serial brain MRIs. 1 The median PFS when censoring CNS-only first progressions was 27.5 months for the combination of amivantamab and lazertinib, compared to 18.5 months for osimertinib (HR=0.68; 95 percent CI, 0.56–0.83; P <0.001**). 1 Extracranial PFS, which may more closely approximate what would be seen in other trials, was also explored in MARIPOSA. 1 Longer-term follow-up data presented at the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) demonstrated a strong favourable overall survival (OS) trend for amivantamab plus lazertinib versus Osimertinib. At three years (median follow-up of 31.1 months), 61 percent of patients receiving amivantamab plus lazertinib were alive compared to 53 percent of those treated with osimertinib based on an analysis performed at the request of a health authority*** (median OS not estimable [NE] vs 37.3 months; HR=0.77; 95 percent CI, 0.61-0.96; nominal P =0.019). 10 About Amivantamab Amivantamab is a fully-human EGFR-MET bispecific antibody that acts by targeting tumours with activating and resistance EGFR mutations and MET mutations and amplifications, and by harnessing the immune system. 11,12,13,14 The European Commission (EC) has granted marketing authorisation of amivantamab in the following indications: 15 In May 2024, an application for the extension of the amivantamab marketing authorisation was submitted seeking approval for the use of a subcutaneous (SC) formulation of amivantamab in combination with lazertinib for the first-line treatment of adult patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR ex19del or L858R mutations, and for the use of SC amivantamab monotherapy in adult patients with advanced NSCLC with activating EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations after failure of platinum-based therapy. 16 For a full list of adverse events and information on dosage and administration, contraindications and other precautions when using amivantamab, please refer to the Summary of Product Characteristics . 15 ▼ In line with EMA regulations for new medicines, amivantamab is subject to additional monitoring. About Lazertinib In 2018, Janssen Biotech, Inc., entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Yuhan Corporation for the development of lazertinib. Lazertinib is an oral, third-generation, brain-penetrant EGFR TKI that targets both the T790M mutation and activating EGFR mutations while sparing wild-type EGFR. 17 An analysis of the efficacy and safety of lazertinib from the Phase 3 study LASER301 was published in The Journal of Clinical Oncology in 2023. 17 ▼ In line with EMA regulations for new medicines, lazertinib is subject to additional monitoring. About Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer In Europe, it is estimated that 484,306 people were diagnosed with lung cancer in 2022. 2 NSCLC accounts for 85 percent of all lung cancer cases. 3 Lung cancer is Europe’s biggest cancer killer, with more deaths than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. 2 The main subtypes of NSCLC are adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and large cell carcinoma. 3 Among the most common driver mutations in NSCLC are alterations in EGFR, which is a receptor tyrosine kinase controlling cell growth and division. 3,18 EGFR mutations are present in 10 to 15 percent of Western patients with NSCLC with adenocarcinoma histology and occur in 40 to 50 percent of Asian patients. 19,20,21,22 EGFR ex19del or EGFR exon 21 L858R mutations are the most common EGFR mutations. 23 The five-year survival rate for patients with advanced NSCLC and EGFR mutations treated with EGFR TKIs is less than 20 percent and between 25-32 percent of patients receiving the current first-line standard of care, osimertinib, do not survive long enough to reach second-line treatment. 24,25,26 About Johnson & Johnson At Johnson & Johnson, we believe health is everything.

Sol-Gel Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Updates

Mori Arkin's appointment as interim CEO as of January 1, 2025 approved by shareholdersPhase 3 clinical trial of SGT-610 for Gorlin Syndrome is ongoing with over 40 clinical sites activatedSGT-210 proof-of-concept study in patients suffering from Darier disease is ongoing NESS ZIONA, Israel, Nov. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sol-Gel Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: SLGL), a dermatology company, pioneering treatments for patients with severe skin conditions, conducting a Phase-3 clinical trial of SGT-610 (patidegib gel, 2%) for Gorlin syndrome, and with two approved large-category dermatology products, TWYNEO® and EPSOLAY®, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, and provided a corporate update. Q3 2024 and Recent Corporate Developments On November 4, 2024, Sol-Gel's shareholders approved the appointment of our Chairman, Mr. Mori Arkin, as Interim CEO as of January 1, 2025. Mr. Arkin will replace Sol-Gel's founder and current CEO, Dr. Alon Seri-Levy, who will remain as a consultant to the Company for a period of at least one year.On November 13, 2024, Sol-Gel received approval from Nasdaq to transfer the listing of its Ordinary Shares from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market. The transfer became effective as of November 15, 2024. This transfer has been requested in order to be provided with a second 180-day compliance period to regain compliance with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’s ("Nasdaq") minimum bid price rule. Sol-Gel’s Ordinary Shares will continue to trade under the symbol “SLGL” and trading of its Ordinary Shares will not be affected by this transfer. The Nasdaq Capital Market is a continuous trading market that operates in substantially the same manner as The Nasdaq Global Market. The approval of the second compliance period and the transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market are expected based upon the Company meeting all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Capital Market, except for the bid price requirement, the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary, and additional supporting information provided in its application.On August 15, 2024, Sol-Gel signed a new agreement with Padagis, which replaced the parties’ prior collaboration agreement for the development and commercialization of a generic drug product to Zoryve® Cream (roflumilast cream 0.3%). Under this new agreement, Sol-Gel is to unconditionally receive eight quarterly payments which will be paid over 24 months and low single digit royalties from gross profits from sales of roflumilast cream for a period of five years, in lieu of its 50% share in future gross profits from such sales. In addition, Sol-Gel will cease paying any outstanding and future costs related to this prior collaboration agreement. The amount to be received from Padagis, together with the elimination of future expected expenses related to this asset, is expected to enhance Sol-Gel's cash position by approximately $6 million.On September 27, 2024, Sol-Gel signed an additional license agreement for the commercialization of Twyneo and Epsolay in South Korea. This Agreement is in addition to the six agreements Sol-Gel signed during July 2024 in various territories covering most of European countries and South Africa. These already signed agreements, together with agreements we anticipate to sign in the future covering Latin American countries, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Italy and Portugal, are expected to provide upfront and regulatory milestone payments of up to $3.7 million, which Sol-Gel expects to utilize on adapting TWYNEO and EPSOLAY to the regulatory requirements of these new territories. Based on the forecasts received from Sol-Gel’s current and potential partners, Sol-Gel expects that TWYNEO and EPSOLAY will launch in the majority of these new territories in 2027 and 2026 respectively, and following launch, these transactions are anticipated to provide Sol-Gel with an annual royalty revenue stream starting with approximately $1 million to $2 million in 2026 and growing gradually to approximately up to $10 million for the year 2030 and further. The Phase 3 study in Sol-Gel’s key asset SGT-610 in approximately 140 subjects (with 100 subjects required to complete the Study) at about 40 experienced clinical centers is ongoing. To date, Sol-Gel has signed agreements with 43 centers in multiple countries, including the U.S., Spain, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, France and the UK, and approximately 40 of these centers have been activated. Top line results are anticipated in H2 2026. SGT-610 is a topically applied patidegib, a hedgehog signaling pathway blocker 2% gel If approved, SGT-610 is expected to be the first approved product for the prevention of new BCC lesions in Gorlin syndrome patients and is targeting a market exceeding $300 million annually.Sol-Gel’s proof-of-concept study for SGT-210 (topical erlotinib) in patients with Darier disease is ongoing. Darier disease is a significant unmet medical need, with a market potential estimated between $200 to $300 million. If Sol-Gel successfully completes this proof-of-concept study and the required pre-clinical studies, it anticipates filing for a Phase 2 IND in Q2 2025. SGT-210 is currently being used in a compassionate use treatment of a pediatric patient suffering from a rare disease, and given the preliminary highly encouraging response, we are cautiously optimistic about the potential for success in other viable keratoderma indications, recognizing that further research and clinical studies are necessary to validate any broader applications of our therapy. Mr. Mori Arkin, Executive Chairman of Sol-Gel, stated: “The quarterly results reflects our continuous effort to maximize the value of our assets, while exploring business opportunities for non-dilutive funding. We continue to conduct the pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of SGT-610 as planned and are encouraged by the rate of recruitment of patients. We believe that our approach for preventing new basal cell carcinomas in Gorlin Syndrome patients can ease the suffering of patients and bring cure to an unmet medical need, in a target market that exceeds $300 million. In addition, our proof-of-concept study for SGT-210 (topical erlotinib) in Darier disease patients, targeting a market of between $200 million to $300 million, continues. The Company’s strategy, with our two leading assets, pave the way for further strengthening Sol-Gel's business and competitive position.” Financial Results for the Third Quarter 2024 Total revenue in the third quarter was $5.4 million which primarily consisted of licensing revenue from Padagis, Galderma, Searchlight and seven new license agreements, compared to $0.2 million revenues for the same period in 2023. Research and development expenses were $4.8 million compared to $4.7 million for the same period in 2023. The increase of $0.1 million was primarily attributed to an increase of $0.7 million in clinical trial expenses related to SGT-610, an increase of $0.5 million in expenses related to the commercialization of Epsolay and Twyneo in other territories and an increase of $0.3 million in clinical expenses related to SGT-210, offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in clinical development expenses related to a generic product, a decrease of $0.5 million in payroll expenses due to the adoption of cost saving measures initiated during the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease of $0.5 million related to R&D and Operations expenses due to cost measures savings. General and administrative expenses were $1.4 million compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease of $0.5 million was mainly attributed to a decrease of $0.4 million in professional expenses and a decrease of $0.1 million in payroll expenses due to the adoption of cost saving measures initiated during the third quarter of 2023. Sol-Gel reported a net loss of $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2024 and loss of $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $5.7 million and a loss of $0.21 per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2023. As of September 30, 2024, Sol-Gel had $14.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, and deposits and $14.6 million in marketable securities for a total balance of $29.2 million. The Company expects its cash resources to fund cash requirements into the first quarter of 2026. About TWYNEO and EPSOLAY TWYNEO is a topical cream containing a fixed-dose combination of tretinoin, 0.1%, and benzoyl peroxide, 3%, cream for the treatment of acne vulgaris in adults and pediatric patients 9 years of age and older. TWYNEO is the first acne treatment that contains a fixed-dose combination of benzoyl peroxide and tretinoin. Tretinoin and benzoyl peroxide are widely prescribed separately for acne vulgaris; however, benzoyl peroxide causes degradation of the tretinoin molecule, thereby potentially reducing its effectiveness if used at the same time or combined in the same formulation. TWYNEO uses silica (silicon dioxide) core shell structures to separately micro-encapsulate tretinoin crystals and benzoyl peroxide crystals enabling inclusion of the two active ingredients in the cream. EPSOLAY is a topical cream containing benzoyl peroxide (BPO), 5%, for the treatment of bumps and blemishes (inflammatory lesions) of rosacea in adults. EPSOLAY utilizes a proprietary, patented technology to encapsulate BPO within silica-based microcapsules to create a barrier between the medication and the skin. The silica-based shell is designed to slowly release BPO over time to provide a tolerable and effective treatment. About Gorlin Syndrome and SGT-610 SGT-610, a hedgehog signaling pathway blocker, has the potential to be the first ever treatment for prevention of BCCs in Gorlin syndrome patients, if approved. Gorlin syndrome, an autosomal dominant genetic disorder affecting approximately 1 in 27,000-31,000 people in the U.S., is mostly caused by inheritance of one defective copy of the tumor suppressor patched homolog 1 (PTCH1) gene. Normally, the PTCH1 gene blocks the smoothened, frizzle class receptor (SMO) gene, turning off the hedgehog signaling pathway when it is not needed. Mutations in the PTCH1 gene may cause a loss of PTCH1 function, release of SMO, and may allow BCC tumor cells to divide uncontrollably. Patidegib, the active substance in SGT-610, is designed to block the SMO signal, thus, allowing cells to function normally and reducing the production of new tumors. About Darier Disease and SGT-210 SGT-210 is a topical erlotinib drug candidate that is formulated for the treatment of Darier Disease and other hyperkeratosis-related indications. Erlotinib is a tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitor that acts on the epidermal growth factor receptor, a protein present on cell surfaces that plays a key role in promoting cell growth and division. Darier Disease is a rare, genetic keratinization disorder which is classically characterized scaly crusted papules in a seborrheic distribution and in skin folds. About Sol-Gel Technologies Sol-Gel Technologies, Ltd. is a dermatology company focused on identifying, developing and commercializing or partnering drug products to treat skin diseases. Sol-Gel developed TWYNEO which is approved by the FDA for the treatment of acne vulgaris in adults and pediatric patients nine years of age and older; and EPSOLAY, which is approved by the FDA for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of rosacea in adults. The Company’s pipeline also includes Phase 3 clinical trial of Orphan and breakthrough drug candidate SGT-610, which is a new topical hedgehog inhibitor being developed to prevent the new basal cell carcinoma lesions in patients with Gorlin syndrome that is expected to have an improved safety profile compared to oral hedgehog inhibitors as well as topical drug candidate SGT-210 under investigation for the treatment of rare hyper keratinization disorders.

Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to, delays in regulatory milestones, such as a delay in the filing for a Phase 2 IND for SGT-210 and a delay in topline results for our SGT-610 clinical trial, our ability to enter into further collaborations, lower than anticipated annual revenue income from new collaborations and a delay in the timing of our clinical trials, the success of our clinical trials, and an increase in our anticipated costs and expenses, as well as the following factors: (i) the adequacy of our financial and other resources, particularly in light of our history of recurring losses and the uncertainty regarding the adequacy of our liquidity to pursue our complete business objectives; (ii) our ability to complete the development of our product candidates; (iii) our ability to find suitable co-development partners; (iv) our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals for our product candidates in our target markets, the potential delay in receiving such regulatory approvals and the possibility of adverse regulatory or legal actions relating to our product candidates even if regulatory approval is obtained; (v) our collaborators’ ability to commercialize our pharmaceutical product candidates; (vi) our ability to obtain and maintain adequate protection of our intellectual property; (vii) our collaborators’ ability to manufacture our product candidates in commercial quantities, at an adequate quality or at an acceptable cost; (viii) our collaborators’ ability to establish adequate sales, marketing and distribution channels; (ix) acceptance of our product candidates by healthcare professionals and patients; (x) the possibility that we may face third-party claims of intellectual property infringement; (xi) the timing and results of clinical trials that we may conduct or that our competitors and others may conduct relating to our or their products; (xii) intense competition in our industry, with competitors having substantially greater financial, technological, research and development, regulatory and clinical, manufacturing, marketing and sales, distribution and personnel resources than we do; (xiii) potential product liability claims; (xiv) potential adverse federal, state and local government regulation in the United States, China, Europe or Israel; and (xv) loss or retirement of key executives and research scientists; (xvi) general market, political and economic conditions in the countries in which the Company operates; and, (xvii) the current war between Israel and Hamas and any deterioration of the war in Israel into a broader regional conflict involving Israel with other parties. These factors and other important factors discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 13, 2024, and our other reports filed with the SEC, could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this press release. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in this press release.
