iStock, leolintang BioSpace has been compiling a list of the most innovative and exciting biotechs for a decade. Here we take a look back at noteworthy companies from each of those lists. 2024 marked the 10th year of BioSpace ’s NextGen list, a collection of biotechs that are on the cutting edge and poised to break barriers in the industry. As we prep next year’s list, to be released in January, we decided to take a look back at a notable honoree from each of our past lists. There were many fascinating companies that have gone on to great things; on the other hand, sometimes things don’t go as well as we predicted. We have a few not-so-great stories to tell, too. ___________________________________________ 2024 ReNAgade Therapeutics Status: Bought by Orna Therapeutics This company made our list for a pretty big reason: a massive $300 million series A in one of the toughest financing environments in recent memory. The company was launched in May 2023 to develop RNA medicines to treat diseases anywhere in the body. One of the lead investors in the round was MPM BioImpact, whose managing partner Ansbert Gadicke founded ReNAgade. Early in the biotech’s history as a stealth company, there was a bit of foreshadowing as to where the company would end up. ReNAgade struck up a partnership with Orna Therapeutics, which was also working on RNA therapeutics. The work attracted the attention of Merck in a deal worth up to $3.5 billion with development and commercialization milestones. Given the money on the line, Orna went all in on ReNAgade, buying out the biotech in May of this year—almost a year to the day after its launch. Financial details were not disclosed. See the full class of 2024 . ___________________________________________ 2023 Mariana Oncology Status: Bought by Novartis What a year 2023 turned out to be for Mariana Oncology. After raising a $175 million series B in September of that year, the company was bought out by Novartis for $1 billion , plus $750 million in milestones. Originally known as Curie Therapeutics, Mariana emerged from stealth with a $75 series A raise in December 2021 to develop new radiopharmaceuticals. The company caught our eye and made the 2023 list, but apparently Novartis was keeping an eye too. The radiopharmaceutical-hungry Big Pharma said at the time of the deal that Mariana’s technology would help it double down in the field of radioligand therapeutics. On a recent earnings call, Novartis executives expressed their excitement in the Mariana technology, saying that candidates from the buyout are speeding toward the clinic and could go after well-established antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targets. See the full class of 2023 . ___________________________________________ 2022 Eikon Therapeutics Status: Operating Eikon has spent the two years since landing on our list racking up cash and poaching executives from CEO Rodger Perlmutter’s former employer Merck. The biotech’s raises have been huge in a really tough market: a $148 million series A in May 2021, $518 million for a January 2022 series B and most recently, $106 million in series C financing in June 2023 . At the most recent raise, Eikon also announced the acquisition of a clinical pipeline. The company now boasts oncology assets in Phase I and II testing for non-small cell lung cancer and melanoma, respectively. The rest of Eikon’s pipeline is in preclinical research or discovery. See the full class of 2022 . ___________________________________________ 2021 EQRx Status: Bought by Revolution Medicines, assets terminated EQRx emerged with a lofty goal we could all get behind: develop drugs at a lower cost. It raised a cool $200 million in a July 2020 series A, then caught the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) wave to the Nasdaq just over a year later, adding $1.8 billion in an August 2021 IPO. The company was helmed at first by serial biotech entrepreneur Alexis Borisy. Trouble emerged shortly thereafter, with EQRx cutting lead asset sugemalimab for NSCLC after determining it had no path to market. The company shifted to two other assets, aumolertinib and lerociclib, but later dropped the former. Several rounds of layoffs made the company ever smaller before EQRx finally gave up entirely. The assets were terminated as Revolution Medicines bought out the company and its hefty $1 billion bank account. Borisy has since gone on to start a venture capital firm called Curie.Bio . See the full class of 2021 . ___________________________________________ 2020 Cerevel Therapeutics Status: Bought by AbbVie Cerevel as a company is no more, but its medicines live on at AbbVie, which bought the biotech for $8.7 billion in December 2023. The deal was part of a trend of neuroscience-focused biotechs being bought up by Big Pharma, with Cerevel moving in the same month as Bristol Myers Squibb bought Karuna Therapeutics for $14 billion. BMS was rewarded quickly with a recent FDA approval for KarXT (now Cobenfy) for schizophrenia, but AbbVie too has had success since sealing the deal. Cerevel’s investigational Parkinson’s disease therapy tavapadon improved control of motor symptoms when used with common treatment levodopa in a Phase III trial that read out in April. The data would support a regulatory filing for the therapy, executives said at the time. Two additional late-stage readouts for the therapy are due later this year. But the real star of the deal was emraclidine, which is in Phase III studies for schizophrenia. Cerevel also brought a major depression treatment to the table. “These assets clearly will be great additions to our neuroscience franchise,” said AbbVie’s CEO Rob Michael on the company’s second quarter earnings call. See the full class of 2020 . ___________________________________________ 2019 Genevant Status: Operating One of Roivant’s offshoots, Genevant is still operating today, working on developing nucleic acid delivery technology. Just last week, Genevant signed a deal with CRISPR gene editing company Editas Medicines to develop in vivo gene editing medicines for two undisclosed targets. Genevant has also recently signed deals with Novo Nordisk, Tome Biosciences, Gritstone bio and Repair Biotechnologies. But perhaps the most compelling story from Genevant since we named them to our NextGen list has been their litigation with famed biotech Moderna over the lipid nanoparticle delivery system used for its approved COVID-19 vaccine. Genevant and Arbutus Biopharma filed several patent infringement claims against Moderna arguing that the vaccine developer used their technology without license or proper compensation. A judge sided with Arbutus and Genevant in April, with a trial set for next year. See the full class of 2019 . ___________________________________________ 2018 BlueRock Therapeutics Status: Bought by Bayer Bayer bought cell therapy biotech BlueRock Therapeutics in August 2019 for $1 billion, but rather than absorbing the company into itself, the German pharma kept the name and unit operating. This unusual but refreshing strategy means that the company essentially lives on. In June 2023, BlueRock reported that Parkinson’s disease stem cell therapy bemdaneprocel was well tolerated with no significant side effects in a Phase I trial with 12 patients. It was the first cell therapy to show positive results in human testing, Bayer said at the time. A September update showed similar safety results. The therapy has since received a regenerative medicine advanced therapy tag from the FDA. Elsewhere in the pipeline, BlueRock’s investigational iPSC-derived cell therapy OpCT-001 for certain retinal disorders was cleared for human testing in September. The therapy was licensed from FUJIFILM Cellular Dynamics and Opsis Therapeutics. See the full class of 2018 . ___________________________________________ 2017 Decibel Therapeutics Status: Bought by Regeneron Regeneron made a splash at this year’s American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy meeting in Baltimore when it showcased results of a Phase I/II trial of hearing loss therapy DB-OTO. The therapy restored hearing in two children who had a genetic form of hearing loss. While Regeneron’s branding was behind the conference presentation, the gene therapy came from Decibel Therapeutics. Regeneron bought the biotech for $109 million in August 2023, at which point the two companies had already been working together for six years. The biotech was integrated into Regeneron’s genetic medicines portfolio. See the full class of 2017 . ___________________________________________ 2016 CRISPR Therapeutics Status: Operating CRISPR Therapeutics made history last year as the first company, along with partner Vertex Pharmaceuticals, to gain an FDA approval for a CRISPR-based gene edited therapy. The companies were granted an FDA greenlight for Casgevy in sickle cell disease. The same day, bluebird bio got a similar nod for a competing gene therapy, though not one that involves CRISPR technology. The FDA approval was a triumph of modern biotechnology. But the roll out has been slow given the nature of gene therapy treatment, and only recently have patients begun receiving infusions of the medicine. Casgevy is now also approved for beta thalassemia, another blood disorder. The company has turned to the rest of its pipeline, including a CD19-directed CAR T cell program called CTX112, which is being tested in both cancer and autoimmune disorders. CTX131 is in development for hematological malignancies as well. CEO Sam Kulkarni has expressed confidence in CRISPR’s leading position in gene editing and pledged to be on top of emerging technologies. “One of the most important considerations for us is that we don’t get disrupted,” he said at the Goldman Sachs healthcare conference in June. “We are the leaders in the gene editing space and we have been, but we want to make sure that we’re looking at every improvement that’s coming out there.” See the full class of 2016 . ___________________________________________ 2015 Spark Therapeutics Status: Bought by Roche Like BlueRock, Spark Therapeutics was folded into a Big Pharma but kept its identity. Spark earned a spot on our very first NextGen list in 2015 thanks to its active clinical hemophilia program and fundraises totaling $122.8 million. The company caught the eye of Roche, which swooped in with a $4.8 billion bid in February 2019. The deal eventually turned into a bit of a boondoggle, with regulatory delays slowing things down until it finally closed that December. At issue was Roche’s hemophilia Hemlibra. Regulators worried that Spark’s hemophilia program and Hemlibra together could stifle competition and create a monopoly. Spark brought with it the approved eye disease gene therapy Luxturna. With the deal closed, Spark has charged forward under the Roche banner. The unit is developing a 500,000-square foot Gene Therapy Innovation Center in Philadelphia as its flagship manufacturing space. See the full class of 2015 .

(NASDAQ: REGN) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2024 and provided a business update. "Regeneron had a strong quarter, with total revenue up 12% driven by notable growth for EYLEA HD, Dupixent, and Libtayo," said Leonard S. Schleifer, M.D., Ph.D., Board co-Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer of Regeneron. "Importantly, Dupixent was granted its first regulatory approval for COPD by the European Commission, with FDA action anticipated in the third quarter, presenting an opportunity to help even more patients around the globe. As always, we remain focused on driving forward our diverse clinical pipeline, progressing late-stage trials for Dupixent in chronic spontaneous urticaria and other dermatologic indications; itepekimab, our IL-33 antibody in COPD; fianlimab, our LAG-3 antibody in metastatic melanoma; and Libtayo in adjuvant cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Finally, we were excited to advance several promising earlier-stage programs, including various antibody and GLP-1 combinations for obesity and our gene therapy DB-OTO for genetic hearing loss."

"In the second half of the year, we look forward to advancing our pipeline with several important clinical data readouts as well as continued commercial execution and prudent capital deployment to drive long-term value creation." Business Highlights Key Pipeline ProgressRegeneron has over 35 product candidates in clinical development, including a number of marketed products for which it is investigating additional indications. Updates from the clinical pipeline include: EYLEA HD (aflibercept) 8 mg In June 2024, a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) with two-year data for wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME) was submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Dupixent (dupilumab) In May 2024, after requesting additional efficacy analyses, the FDA extended by three months the target action date of its priority review of the sBLA for Dupixent as an add-on maintenance treatment in certain adult patients with uncontrolled COPD, with a revised target action date of September 27, 2024. Regeneron and Sanofi remain confident that the additional analyses strongly support the approval of Dupixent in COPD with evidence of type 2 inflammation, and are committed to working with the FDA to bring Dupixent to patients living with uncontrolled COPD as quickly as possible.In June 2024, the European Commission (EC) approved Dupixent as an add-on maintenance treatment for adults with uncontrolled COPD characterized by raised blood eosinophils. The EC is the first regulatory authority in the world to have approved Dupixent for COPD patients. Additional submissions are under review with other regulatory authorities outside the United States, including in China and Japan.The Company and Sanofi presented at the 2024 American Thoracic Society International Conference positive data from the NOTUS Phase 3 trial evaluating Dupixent as an add-on maintenance treatment in adults with uncontrolled COPD on maximal standard-of-care inhaled therapy (nearly all on triple therapy) and evidence of type 2 inflammation. The NOTUS trial confirmed the positive results demonstrated in the Phase 3 BOREAS trial. The data from the NOTUS trial were also published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).The FDA accepted for priority review the sBLA for Dupixent as an add-on maintenance treatment for adolescents aged 12 to 17 years with inadequately controlled chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP), with a target action date of September 15, 2024.The NEJM published results from a positive Phase 3 trial for Dupixent in children aged 1 to 11 years with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). The trial showed a greater proportion of those receiving weight-tiered higher dose Dupixent experienced significant improvements in many key disease measures of EoE, compared to placebo at week 16. Oncology Programs The European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopted a positive opinion recommending conditional marketing authorization of odronextamab, a bispecific antibody targeting CD20 and CD3, to treat adults with relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) or R/R diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), after two or more lines of systemic therapy. The EC is expected to announce a final decision in the coming months.In June 2024, the 14-month median follow-up data from the pivotal Phase 1/2 trial of linvoseltamab, a bispecific antibody targeting BCMA and CD3, in patients with R/R multiple myeloma were presented at the European Hematology Association (EHA) Congress 2024 and published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. These longer-term results show a deepening of responses following the 11-month median follow-up data previously presented in April 2024.A Phase 2 study for fianlimab, an antibody to LAG-3, in combination with Libtayo (cemiplimab) for perioperative non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was initiated. A Phase 2/3 study for fianlimab, in combination with Libtayo, for perioperative melanoma was also initiated.The Company announced positive updated results from an ongoing Phase 1/2 trial evaluating REGN7075, a costimulatory bispecific antibody targeting EGFR and CD28, in combination with Libtayo in patients with advanced solid tumors. Data from the dose-escalation portion of the trial showed the investigational combination led to anti-tumor responses in certain patients with microsatellite stable colorectal cancer. The results were shared during an oral presentation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2024 Annual Meeting. Other Programs In June 2024, the FDA approved Kevzara® (sarilumab) for the treatment of patients weighing 63 kg or greater with active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA), a form of arthritis that impacts multiple joints at a time.A Phase 2 study in obesity was initiated for trevogrumab, an antibody to myostatin (GDF8), in combination with semaglutide with and without garetosmab, an antibody to Activin A.A Phase 2 study for REGN7508, an antibody to Factor XI, was initiated in patients with thrombosis.The Company presented updated data from the Phase 1/2 trial of DB-OTO, an AAV-based gene therapy, at the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) annual conference and announced that DB-OTO improved hearing to normal levels in one child and that initial hearing improvements were observed in a second child. In addition, the FDA recently granted DB-OTO Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation for the treatment of congenital auditory neuropathy secondary to biallelic mutations of the otoferlin gene.

EYLEA HD was approved by the FDA in August 2023 and EYLEA HD net product sales in the second quarter of 2024 were driven by the transition of patients from other anti-VEGF products, including EYLEA, to EYLEA HD, as well as new patients naïve to anti-VEGF therapy. Net product sales of EYLEA decreased in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to (i) the aforementioned approval and transition of certain patients to EYLEA HD, and (ii) other market dynamics that resulted in lower volumes and a lower net selling price. Sanofi collaboration revenue increased in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023, due to the Company's share of profits from commercialization of antibodies, which were $988 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $751 million in the second quarter of 2023. The change in the Company's share of profits from commercialization of antibodies was driven by higher profits associated with an increase in Dupixent sales.

Other Financial Information GAAP other income (expense) included the recognition of net unrealized gains on equity securities of $393 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $31 million of net unrealized losses in the second quarter of 2023. GAAP and Non-GAAP other income (expense) also included interest income of $179 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $118 million in the second quarter of 2023. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company's GAAP effective tax rate (ETR) was 12.0%, compared to 10.6% in the second quarter of 2023. The GAAP ETR increased in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023, due to the remeasurement of existing uncertain tax positions, offset by a higher benefit from stock-based compensation. In the second quarter of 2024, the non-GAAP ETR was 10.8%, compared to 12.2% in the second quarter of 2023. GAAP net income per diluted share was $12.41 in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $8.50 in the second quarter of 2023. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $11.56 in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $10.24 in the second quarter of 2023. A reconciliation of the Company's GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in Table 3 of this press release. In April 2024, the Company's board of directors authorized a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to an additional $3.0 billion of the Company's common stock. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased shares of its common stock and recorded the cost of the shares, or $601 million, as Treasury Stock. As of June 30, 2024, an aggregate of $3.6 billion remained available for share repurchases under the Company's share repurchase programs. 2024 Financial Guidance(c) The Company's full year 2024 financial guidance consists of the following components: 2024 Guidance Prior UpdatedGAAP R&D $4.920–$5.170 billion $5.020–$5.170 billionNon-GAAP R&D(a) $4.400–$4.600 billion $4.500–$4.600 billionGAAP SG&A $2.940–$3.090 billion $2.920–$3.060 billionNon-GAAP SG&A(a) $2.550–$2.650 billion UnchangedGAAP gross margin on net product sales(d) 86%–88% Approximately 86%Non-GAAP gross margin on net product sales(a)(d) 89%–91% Approximately 89%COCM(e)* $850–$910 million UnchangedCapital expenditures* $780–$880 million $750–$820 millionGAAP effective tax rate 7%–9% 8%–9%Non-GAAP effective tax rate(a) 10%–12% 10%–11% * GAAP and non-GAAP amounts are equivalent as no non-GAAP adjustments have been or are expected to be recorded.

These non-GAAP financial measures are computed by excluding certain non-cash and/or other items from the related GAAP financial measure. The Company also includes a non-GAAP adjustment for the estimated income tax effect of reconciling items. A reconciliation of the Company's GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in Table 3 of this press release.The Company makes such adjustments for items the Company does not view as useful in evaluating its operating performance. For example, adjustments may be made for items that fluctuate from period to period based on factors that are not within the Company's control (such as the Company's stock price on the dates share-based grants are issued or changes in the fair value of the Company's investments in equity securities) or items that are not associated with normal, recurring operations (such as acquisition and integration costs). Management uses these non-GAAP measures for planning, budgeting, forecasting, assessing historical performance, and making financial and operational decisions, and also provides forecasts to investors on this basis. With respect to free cash flows, the Company believes that this non-GAAP measure provides a further measure of the Company's ability to generate cash flows from its operations. Additionally, such non-GAAP measures provide investors with an enhanced understanding of the financial performance of the Company's core business operations. However, there are limitations in the use of these and other non-GAAP financial measures as they exclude certain expenses that are recurring in nature. Furthermore, the Company's non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable with non-GAAP information provided by other companies. Any non-GAAP financial measure presented by the Company should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. (b)The casirivimab and imdevimab antibody cocktail for COVID-19 is known as REGEN-COV in the United States and Ronapreve in other countries. Roche records net product sales of Ronapreve outside the United States. (c)The Company's 2024 financial guidance does not assume the completion of any business development transactions not completed as of the date of this press release.
