(Veklury®; Gilead Sciences, Inc.), improving viral inhibition while
maintaining cell viability
RHB-107 for COVID-19 (U.S.
DoD funding): Selected for inclusion in the
300-patient ACESO PROTECT platform trial for early COVID-19
outpatient treatment; COVID-19 treatment continues to be a
multi-hundreds of million-dollar market
RHB-107 for Ebola (U.S. Army
funding): RHB-107 also demonstrated robust
synergistic effect in vitro when combined with remdesivir.
Management of potential Ebola virus pandemic outbreaks represents a
significant opportunity and is a key concern for global health
agencies
With multiple target indications, opaganib and
RHB-107 are novel, oral, host-directed small molecule drugs in
advanced clinical development, with demonstrated safety &
efficacy profiles, well suited to counter nuclear / chemical
exposure and viral pandemic scenarios, being viral
mutation-resistant and easy to administer and distribute

TEL
AVIV, Israel and RALEIGH,
N.C., April 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- RedHill
Biopharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: RDHL) ("RedHill" or the "Company"), a specialty
biopharmaceutical company, today reported its full year 2023
financial results and operational highlights and associated filing
of its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Dror Ben-Asher, RedHill's Chief Executive Officer, said:
"The RedHill of today is
transformed - focused on predominantly U.S. government-funded
pipeline development in underserved, sizeable therapeutic areas
with a disciplined cost-base and unburdened by debt - we have a
very clear direction and value proposition. We are actively
pursuing and in discussions with multiple parties regarding
strategic business transactions, including potential divestment of
certain of our assets and/or our commercial operations, while we
focus on the progression of our two lead R&D candidates,
opaganib and RHB-107. Both are advancing in programs that are
externally funded, predominantly through U.S. government support,
and directed at multiple underserved indications that provide both
an aggregated multi-billion global market opportunities and
potentially advantageous pathways to approval under the FDA Animal
Rule2 for certain indications."
Mr. Ben-Asher continued: "We believe that growing
geo-political instability and current regional conflicts are causes
for concern regarding increased potential for both nuclear and
chemical threats. Governments across the world and global health
organizations have been stepping up their efforts to find new
options in the face of these devastating possibilities – especially
those that can be delivered in challenging circumstances. Opaganib
has now been selected by separate U.S. government-funded programs
for evaluation as a nuclear and chemical medical countermeasure for
Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) and Sulfur Mustard exposure. RHB-107
has been selected for inclusion in the predominantly U.S.
Department of Defense (DoD)-funded 300-patient ACESO PROTECT
platform trial for early COVID-19 outpatient treatment, for which
screening has commenced and first patients are expected to be
enrolled imminently. In addition, in U.S. Army studies, both
opaganib and RHB-107 have delivered positive results in
pre-clinical testing against Ebola – a disease with a more than 50%
mortality rate for which innovation in therapy is desperately
needed. Opaganib, we believe, became the first host-directed
molecule to show activity in vivo in Ebola virus disease,
delivering a statistically significant increase in survival, while
both opaganib and RHB-107 showed an in vitro synergistic effect
with remdesivir in viral inhibition. Both opaganib and RHB-107 are
novel, oral, host-directed small molecule drugs, with demonstrated
safety and efficacy profiles, that are well-suited to counter
nuclear/chemical exposure and viral pandemic scenarios, being
mutation-resistant and easy to administer and distribute."
Financial results for the 12 months ended December 31, 20233
Net Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023, were $6.5 million, compared to $61.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily
attributable to the divestiture of Movantik. Talicia net revenues
for the year ended December 31, 2023,
increased to $8.8 million from
$7.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2022, driven mainly by a
15% increase in gross revenues, with stable Gross-to-Net. Net
revenues for the year ended December 31,
2023, were reduced by ($2.6)
million in contra-revenues for Movantik, largely from
returns.
Cost of Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $3.5 million, compared to $33.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily
attributable to the divestiture of Movantik. As a result of this
divestiture, both the recognition of revenues and the associated
cost of revenues for this product were discontinued starting from
February 2, 2023. Additionally, the
amortization of the intangible asset related to Movantik was also
discontinued as of that date.
Gross Profit for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $3.1 million, compared to $28.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, in line with the decrease in
Net Revenues and Cost of Revenues as explained above and primarily
attributable to the divestiture of Movantik.
Research and Development Expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2023, were $3.5 million, as compared to $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The difference is attributable
to the completion of clinical trials related to COVID-19 and
RHB-107, and to ongoing cost-reduction measures.
Selling, Marketing and General and Administrative
Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023, were $31.0 million, as compared to $64.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The difference was primarily
attributable to the ongoing cost-reduction measures and to the
divesture of Movantik as described above.
Other Income for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $44.1 million, as compared to no other income
recognized for the year ended December 31,
2022. The other income was comprised of (i) $35.5 million from the divestiture of Movantik,
calculated as the difference between the fair value of the rights
and the carrying amount of this asset and (ii) $8.6 million from transitional services fees
provided to the buyer of Movantik.
Operating Income for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $12.6 million, compared to operating loss of
$42.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2022. The difference is
primarily attributable to the changes resulting from the
divestiture of Movantik, as detailed above.
Financial Income, net for the year ended
December 31, 2023, was $11.3 million, compared to Financial Expenses,
net of $28.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 2022. The income
recognized in the year ended December 31,
2023, was primarily attributable to a $20.6 million gain resulting from the
extinguishment of the HCR Collateral Management LLC ("HCR") debt in
exchange for the transfer of rights to Movantik, calculated as the
difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability
and the fair value of the rights transferred, partially offset by
financial expenses related to the derivative financial instruments
and other financial expenses.
Net Income of $23.9 million
for the year ended December 31, 2023,
as compared to Net Loss of $71.7
million for the year ended December
31, 2022, primarily attributed to the changes resulting from
the sale of Movantik and to the ongoing cost-reduction measures, as
detailed above.
Total Assets as of December 31,
2023, were $23 million, as
compared to $158.9 million as of
December 31, 2022. The decrease was
primarily attributable to the sale of Movantik, resulting in the
transfer of the rights to Movantik, as well as to a significant
decrease in the Trade Receivables balance (attributed to the fact
that the receivables as of December 31,
2022, were primarily associated with Movantik).
Total Liabilities as of December
31, 2023, were $21 million, as
compared to $207.3 million as of
December 31, 2022. This decrease was
primarily due to the extinguishment of HCR debt in exchange for the
transfer of Movantik rights, assumption of certain liabilities by
HCR, and payments made towards pre-closing liabilities related to
Movantik. Remaining pre-closing liabilities related to Movantik as
of December 2023, are estimated at
$4.8 million.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities for the year
ended December 31, 2023, was
$35.8 million, compared to
$29.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2022. The cash used in
operating activities was primarily directed towards settling
pre-closing liabilities related to Movantik and other operational
activities.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities for the year
ended December 31, 2023, was
$21.4 million, comprised primarily of
the net proceeds from offerings and exercise of warrants in the
year ended December 31, 2023, and the
decrease in restricted cash, partially offset by repayment of
payables in respect of intangible asset purchase.
Cash Balance as of December 31,
2023, was $6.5
million1.
R&D Overview
RedHill's R&D efforts are
concentrated on its two lead investigational candidates, opaganib
and RHB-107 – with both advancing in programs that are externally
funded, predominantly through U.S. government support, and directed
at multiple underserved indications that provide both sizeable
market opportunities, estimated aggregate to be well in excess of
$1 billion globally, and potentially
advantageous pathways to approval.
Opaganib's development is focused on a potential role as a
nuclear and chemical medical countermeasure in the event of
radiation and chemical incidents, while RHB-107 remains focused on
the outpatient treatment of COVID-19. Both molecules have also
shown promise for potential use in the treatment of the Ebola virus
disease, along with other viral pandemic scenarios, and various
inflammatory and oncologic conditions.
Both opaganib and RHB-107 are novel, oral, host-directed small
molecule drugs with demonstrated safety and efficacy profiles that
are ideally suited to nuclear/chemical incidents and viral pandemic
scenarios, being viral mutation-resistant and easy to administer
and distribute.
Opaganib (ABC294640)4
Opaganib is a
first-in-class, orally administered sphingosine kinase-2 (SPHK2)
selective inhibitor with potential for broad activity across
radioprotection, cancer, inflammatory and viral conditions.
Opaganib's host-directed action is thought to work through the
inhibition of multiple pathways, the induction of autophagy and
apoptosis, and disruption of viral replication, through
simultaneous inhibition of three sphingolipid-metabolizing enzymes
in human cells (SPHK2, DES1 and GCS). Current focuses of opaganib's
development are:
Nuclear and chemical medical
countermeasures: Opaganib has been selected for evaluation
by two U.S. government countermeasures programs for Acute Radiation
Syndrome (ARS) and Sulfur Mustard exposure, both funded by the
NIH.
Ebola virus disease: U.S. Army-funded and conducted
studies suggest opaganib is the first host-directed molecule to
show activity in vivo in Ebola virus disease, significantly
increasing survival time, and separately, opaganib demonstrated
robust synergistic effect in vitro when combined with remdesivir
(Veklury®; Gilead Sciences, Inc.), improving viral inhibition while
maintaining cell viability.
Nuclear and Chemical Medical Countermeasures updates
- In November 2022, the Company
announced acceleration of opaganib's nuclear radiation
protection development program, with newly published data from
eight U.S. government-funded in vivo studies, and
additional experiments, indicating that opaganib was associated
with:
- Protection of normal tissue, including gastrointestinal, from
radiation damage due to ionizing radiation exposure or cancer
radiotherapy.
- Improvement of antitumor activity, response to
chemoradiation, and enhancement of tolerability and survival.
- Radioprotective capacity in bone marrow, with opaganib showing
enhanced survival in mice irradiated with both lethal and
half-lethal whole-body radiation.
- Protection of normal tissue, including gastrointestinal, from
radiation damage due to ionizing radiation exposure or cancer
radiotherapy.
- Improvement of antitumor activity, response to
chemoradiation, and enhancement of tolerability and survival.
- Radioprotective capacity in bone marrow, with opaganib showing
enhanced survival in mice irradiated with both lethal and
half-lethal whole-body radiation.
- In addition, in November 2022,
the Company announced additional positive in vivo results from
a new pre-clinical study evaluating the effects of opaganib on
radiation-induced hematologic and renal toxicity, which suggests
that opaganib exerts a protective impact on key hematological and
kidney function parameters following total body irradiation (TBI).
Development of opaganib as a homeland security nuclear medical
countermeasure is currently expected to follow the Animal Rule
under which human efficacy studies may not be required, and if
approved, may be eligible for a Medical Countermeasure Priority
Review Voucher.
- In February 2023, the Company
announced that the Radiation and Nuclear Countermeasures Program
(RNCP), of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, had selected
opaganib for the nuclear medical countermeasures product
development pipeline as a potential treatment for ARS. As part of
this collaboration, contractors directed and supported by the RNCP
will undertake studies, designed in collaboration with us, to test
opaganib in established ARS models.
- In July 2023, the Company
announced that Apogee had been awarded a further $1.7 million in U.S. government funding, via
a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant, which will
support research to further the development of opaganib as an MCM
for GI-ARS. This grant is in addition and complementary to the
multimillion dollar-valued U.S. government RNCP product pipeline
development contract awarded to opaganib following its selection by
the RNCP for ARS development.
- In February 2024, the Company
announced that the International Journal of Molecular Sciences
published data showing that opaganib protects against
radiation-induced lung inflammation and fibrosis in an in vivo
mouse model of lung damage following exposure to ionizing
radiation.
- In March 2024, the Company
announced that opaganib had been selected by the U.S.
government's Chemical Medical Countermeasure Program and chemical
countermeasures research program for evaluation as a potential MCM
against inhalation Sulfur Mustard exposure. This selection follows
opaganib's previous acceptance into the RNCP for ARS development,
providing the potential to see broad activity across both radiation
and Sulfur Mustard injuries.
Ebola updates
- In October 2023, the Company
announced that opaganib delivered a statistically significant
increase in survival time when given at 150 mg/kg twice a day (BID)
with a 30% mice survival benefit compared to control in a United
States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases
(USAMRIID) in vivo Ebola virus study, making it the first
host-directed molecule to show activity in Ebola virus
disease.
- In December 2023, the Company
announced that opaganib demonstrated a robust synergistic
effect when combined with remdesivir (Veklury® by Gilead Sciences,
Inc.), significantly improving viral inhibition while maintaining
cell viability, in a new U.S. Army-funded and conducted Ebola virus
in vitro study.
RHB-107 (upamostat)5
A novel investigational broad-acting, host-directed once-daily
oral antiviral targeting multiple potential indications with a
focus on COVID-19 and other viruses as part of a pandemic
preparedness approach. RHB-107 targets human serine proteases
involved in preparing the spike protein for viral entry into target
cells and inhibits several proteases targeting cancer and
inflammatory gastrointestinal disease. Because it is host-cell
targeted, RHB-107 is expected to also be effective against emerging
viral variants with mutations in the spike protein. RHB-107 is well
tolerated demonstrating its clinical safety profile in
approximately 200 patients6. Current focus
for RHB-107 development is:
COVID-19 outpatient treatment: Accepted for
inclusion in the U.S. DoD-supported 300-patient ACESO PROTECT
platform trial for early COVID-19 outpatient treatment, with first
patient expected to be enrolled imminently
Ebola virus disease: In U.S. Army-funded and
conducted studies RHB-107 also demonstrated robust synergistic
effect in vitro when combined with remdesivir
COVID-19 updates:
- On January 3, 2023, the Company
announced publication of positive data from a Phase 2 study of
once-daily oral investigational RHB-107 (upamostat) in
non-hospitalized symptomatic COVID-19 patients, in the
peer-reviewed International Journal of Infectious Diseases. The
study showed that RHB-107 successfully met the primary endpoint of
safety and tolerability and delivered promising efficacy results,
despite the small number of patients in each treatment group,
including faster recovery from severe COVID-19 symptoms and 100%
reduction in hospitalization due to COVID-19.
- In July 2023, the Company
announced that RHB-107 had been accepted for inclusion in
the U.S. Department of Defense-supported Austere environments
Consortium for Enhanced Sepsis Outcomes' (ACESO) PROTECT
multinational platform trial for early COVID-19 outpatient
treatment. The 300-patient Phase 2 study has received FDA
clearance. The study is being conducted in the U.S., Thailand, Ivory
Coast, South Africa and
Uganda, and is estimated to be
completed by end of 2024. The ACESO PROTECT study is an adaptive,
randomized, double blind, multi-site Phase 2 platform trial, being
conducted by researchers from ACESO and partner organizations, and
administered by the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement
of Military Medicine (HJF).
- In December 2023, the Company
announced the receipt of non-dilutive external funding, additional
to the previously announced U.S. Government funding, which now
covers the entirety of the RHB-107 (upamostat) arm of the ACESO
PROTECT adaptive platform trial for early COVID-19 outpatient
treatment.
Ebola Virus Disease updates:
- As part of a collaboration with the Therapeutic Discovery
Branch of the USAMRIID (US Army Medical Research Institute of
Infectious Diseases) in-vitro studies against different
strains of Ebola virus and additional viral infectious diseases
were undertaken. Initial data from high-content imaging assays
provided further support for activities of RedHill candidates against these viral
diseases.
- In December 2023, the Company
announced results from a U.S. Army-funded and conducted Ebola
virus in vitro study. RHB-107 demonstrated robust synergistic
effect when combined with remdesivir (Veklury® by Gilead Sciences,
Inc.), significantly improving viral inhibition while maintaining
cell viability.
Other R&D updates:
- RHB-204: On January 26,
2023, the Company announced that the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) issued a Notice of Allowance for the
granting of a patent covering orphan drug designated RHB-204's oral
fixed-dose combination, methods for treating pulmonary
Mycobacterium avium Complex (MAC) disease, and kits comprising a
supply of fixed-dose combination products for treating pulmonary
MAC disease, expected to protect
RHB-2047 through 2041.
- RHB-102: On February 16,
2023, the Company announced that following a positive
pre-MAA meeting it plans to submit a Marketing Authorisation
Application (MAA) to the UK Medicines & Healthcare products
Regulatory Agency (MHRA) seeking approval for RHB-102 (Bekinda) for
oncology support (management of nausea and vomiting induced by
cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiotherapy, also referred to as CINV
and RINV) in adults and children over the age of 12.
- RHB-204 and RHB-102 are subject to ongoing commercialization /
out-licensing / divestment discussions.
