- Enrollment completed in Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of AJ201 for spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy; topline data expected in second quarter of 2024 - - Presented positive BAER-101 preclinical data at American Epilepsy Society (AES) and American Society for Experimental Neurotherapeutics (ASENT) Annual Meetings and in publication Drug Development Research - - Final agreement reached with FDA on study design and analysis approach for Phase 3 safety study of IV tramadol – MIAMI, March 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avenue Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATXI) (“Avenue” or the “Company”), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of therapies for the treatment of neurologic diseases, today reported financial results and recent corporate highlights for the year ended December 31, 2023. “We made considerable progress across our pipeline of differentiated neurologic therapies in 2023," said Alexandra MacLean, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Avenue. “Avenue demonstrated tremendous execution capabilities with our lead clinical program AJ201, a potential first-in-class treatment for spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), also known as Kennedy’s Disease. Within nine months of acquiring the rights to AJ201 in March 2023, we dosed the first patient in the Phase 1b/2a clinical trial, and we completed trial enrollment of 25 SBMA patients across six sites in the U.S. We remain on track to report topline data for AJ201 in the second quarter of 2024, an incredibly exciting milestone for both the Company and patients suffering from SBMA, a debilitating rare neuromuscular disorder with no approved treatments in the U.S. Additionally, we have progressed BAER-101 for the treatment of epilepsy by presenting preclinical data from a translational animal model in multiple peer-reviewed forums. We have also advanced IV tramadol, reaching final agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the safety study and statistical analysis approach for the final Phase 3 study. Pending additional financing, we look forward to progressing BAER-101 and IV tramadol for patients facing great unmet need. We look forward to another productive year in 2024 as we continue to make significant strides across our clinical pipeline and advance our mission of providing impactful therapies to patients suffering from neurologic diseases.” Recent Corporate Highlights: AJ201 (Nrf1 and Nrf2 activator, androgen receptor degradation enhancer for SBMA) In January 2024, Avenue completed enrollment in the Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of AJ201 for the treatment of SBMA. The 12-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of AJ201 enrolled 25 patients randomly assigned to AJ201 (600 mg/day) or placebo. The primary endpoint of the study is to assess safety and tolerability of AJ201 in subjects with clinically and genetically defined SBMA. Topline data for the Phase 1b/2a study are anticipated in the second quarter of 2024. More information about this study can be found at ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier: NCT05517603). BAER-101 (GABAA α2/3 positive allosteric modulator) Avenue presented preclinical results for BAER-101, a potentially best-in-class selective GABAA α2,3 positive allosteric modulator, in three scientific peer-reviewed settings, including the American Epilepsy Society (AES) Annual Meeting in December 2023, the publication Drug Development Research in February 2024 and the American Society for Experimental Neurotherapeutics (ASENT) Annual Meeting in March 2024. The in vivo data showcase BAER-101’s ability to significantly suppress seizures using the SynapCell’s Genetic Absence Epilepsy Rat from Strasbourg (“GAERS”) model of epilepsy. BAER-101 fully suppressed seizure activity in the GAERS model with a minimal effective dose of 0.3 mg/kg, PO, and the effect was fast in onset and stable throughout the duration of testing. The data also demonstrated BAER-101’s ability to selectively target GABAA α2 and α3 subtypes more than α1 and α5, potentially improving anti-convulsant and anxiolytic activity while minimizing the risk of tolerance and abuse associated with existing treatments in this drug class. Subject to obtaining the necessary financing, which could be provided through a strategic partnership, Avenue plans to initiate a Phase 2a clinical trial of BAER-101 to further study its anti-seizure properties in patients with common or rare epilepsies. IV Tramadol In January 2024, Avenue reached final agreement with the FDA on the safety study protocol and statistical analysis approach for the Phase 3 study for intravenous (“IV”) tramadol, which is in development for the treatment of acute post-operative pain in a medically supervised setting. The final non-inferiority study is designed to assess the theoretical risk of opioid-induced respiratory depression related to opioid stacking on IV tramadol compared to IV morphine. The study will randomize approximately 300 post bunionectomy patients to IV tramadol or IV morphine for pain relief administered during a 48-hour post-operative period. Patients will have access to IV hydromorphone, a Schedule II opioid, for rescue of breakthrough pain. Pending additional financing, Avenue aims to initiate the Phase 3 safety study as soon as feasible. The Company believes that the study can be completed and submitted to the FDA within 12 months of the study’s initiation. General Corporate In March 2024, Avenue announced that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel granted the Company’s request for an extension to evidence compliance with all applicable criteria for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, including the $1.00 bid price and $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirements, through May 20, 2024. 2023 Financial Results: Cash Position: As of December 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.8 million, compared to $6.7 million at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $4.9 million. In January 2024, the Company completed a warrant inducement transaction resulting in $5.0 million in gross proceeds.R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses for the full year 2023 were $6.1 million, compared to $2.7 million in 2022. Additionally, there was $4.2 million in expense for the acquisition of the AJ201 license in 2023.G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses for the full year 2023 were $4.2 million, compared to $5.3 million in 2022.Net Loss: Net loss for the full year 2023 was $10.5 million, or $0.98 per share, compared to a net loss of $3.6 million, or $1.63 per share, in 2022.

- Topline data remains on track for second quarter of 2024 - Jan. 02, 2024 -- Avenue Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATXI) (“Avenue” or the “Company”), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of therapies for the treatment of neurologic diseases, today announced that all patients have been enrolled in the Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of AJ201 for the treatment of spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (“SBMA”), also known as Kennedy's Disease. AJ201 is currently the lead drug candidate in the clinic for SBMA, and topline data are anticipated in the second quarter of 2024. “We are pleased with the speed of enrollment in our Phase 1b/2a study evaluating AJ201 for the treatment of SBMA, reflecting the large unmet need in this debilitating neurodegenerative disease,” said Alexandra MacLean, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Avenue. “We are intently focused on advancing this much needed drug for patients and their caregivers, and we look forward to reporting topline data in the second quarter of 2024.” The 12-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of AJ201 enrolled 25 patients, randomly assigned to AJ201 (600 mg/day) or placebo. The primary endpoint of the study is to assess safety and tolerability of AJ201 in subjects with clinically and genetically defined SBMA. Although the disease is slow in progression, limiting the potential to demonstrate clinical efficacy over 12 weeks, Avenue has included as secondary endpoints various biomarkers addressing proof of target engagement, which could reflect the likelihood of clinical success. These biomarkers include the pharmacodynamic data measuring change from baseline in mutant androgen receptor protein levels in skeletal muscle and changes in the fat and muscle composition as seen on MRI scans. Further details about this study can be found at ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier: NCT05517603). Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (“SBMA”) is a rare, X-linked genetic neuromuscular disease primarily affecting men. The condition is caused by the trinucleotide CAG repeat expansion in the androgen receptor (“AR”) which leads to production of a mutant polyglutamine (“polyQ”) AR protein that forms aggregates responsible for muscular atrophy focused in the limbs and bulbar region of the body. The weakening of the bulbar muscles affects chewing, speech and swallowing, with patients prone to choking or inhaling foods or liquids, resulting in airway infection. SBMA also affects muscles in the limbs, leading to difficulty walking and injury caused by falling. Although there is a range of cited prevalence rates in scientific literature, a recent study used genetic analysis to estimate disease prevalence of 1:6,887 males.1 Currently, there are no treatments approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or European Medicines Agency available for patients. For more information about SBMA, also known as Kennedy’s Disease, please visit https://kennedysdisease.org/. AJ201 is a novel, first-in-class asset in development for the treatment of spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy. It was designed to modify SBMA through multiple mechanisms including degradation of the abnormal androgen receptor protein and by stimulating the Nrf1 and Nrf2 pathways, which are involved in protecting cells from oxidative stress which can lead to cell death. A first-in-human Phase 1 study of AJ201 in 72 healthy volunteers revealed an excellent safety and pharmacokinetic profile. It is currently being studied in a Phase 1/2a multicenter, randomized, double-blind clinical trial in six clinical sites across the U.S., which aims to evaluate the safety, PK/PD data and clinical response of AJ201 in patients suffering from SBMA. AJ201 has been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA for multiple polyQ diseases, including SBMA, Huntington’s disease and spinocerebellar ataxia. Avenue exclusively licensed AJ201 from AnnJi Pharmaceuticals in the United States, Canada, European Union, Great Britain, and Israel. Polyglutamine diseases are a group of neurodegenerative disorders caused by expanded CAG repeats encoding a long polyQ tract in the affected proteins. To date, a total of nine polyQ disorders have been described. Mutant protein aggregation in affected tissues is the pathological hallmark of polyQ diseases. Neuroinflammation, oxidative stress and dysregulated protein quality control are thought to be key pathological factors that are either direct results of mutant protein aggregations and/or exacerbate the severity and progression of the diseases. Modulating multiple cellular pathways in enhancing degradation of mutant AR aggregates, inducing antioxidant and heat shock responses, and increasing proteasome expression simultaneously provide the rationale to develop AJ201 for the treatment of SBMA and potentially other polyQ diseases.

It is currently developing three assets including AJ201, a first-in-class asset for spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy, BAER-101, an oral small molecule selective GABAA α2/3 receptor positive allosteric modulator for CNS diseases, and IV tramadol, which is in Phase 3 clinical development for the management of acute postoperative pain in adults in a medically supervised healthcare setting.
