SHANGHAI, Aug. 27,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK,
"Everest", or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused
on the development, manufacturing and commercialization of
innovative medicines and vaccines, today announced its interim
results for the first half of 2024 along with a corporate
update.
"Our total revenue for the first half of 2024 reached
RMB 301.5 million, a significant
growth of 158% compared to the second half of 2023, while operating
expenses as a percentage of revenue[1] declined by 249%, reflecting
significant improvement on operating efficiency," commented Rogers
Yongqing Luo, CEO of Everest Medicines. "Notably, our non-IFRS loss
narrowed by 35%, and our gross margin excluding non-cash items was
83%. For the first time in Company history, we have achieved
commercial level profitability[2]. Our cash balance of RMB1.93 billion remains strong and provides
significant flexibility to fund the continued growth of our
business. In the first half of 2024, we accomplished multiple
commercialization milestones. NEFECON®, our lead product
in the renal portfolio and the first-in-disease treatment for
adults with primary IgAN, was commercially launched in mainland
China and Singapore, and approved in Hong Kong. XERAVA®, our first
commercialized product in China
and a first-in-class fluorocycline antibiotic, continues to show
robust sales growth. In the autoimmune disease space, our lead
product etrasimod was approved in Macau."
"We will continue to drive revenue growth through our
dual-engine strategy. First, we seek to license in products that
can leverage the current commercial platform to maximize synergies,
and continuously boost revenue, operational efficiency and profits
through our efficient and focused commercialization model. We
believe this will lead to stable and healthy revenue growth.
Second, we look to unlock partnering and value creation
opportunities with our mRNA discovery pipeline and our products
with global rights . We recently announced the launch of the
first-in-human Investigator-Initiated Clinical Trial (IIT) for
EVM16, a personalized mRNA cancer vaccine program. We also
anticipate submitting investigational new drug applications in
the United States and China in 2025 for EVM14, a Tumor-Associated
Antigens (TAA) cancer vaccine program. In the second half of 2024,
we intend to continue to expand our market presence, revenue base
and operational efficiency, by continuing to carry out our
efficient and focused commercialization model, with "improvement,
integration, and transformation" as our motto. We will continue to
grow NEFECON® sales and actively engage in China's National Reimbursement Drug List
(NRDL) negotiations to enhance affordability and accessibility. By
deepening penetration at our core hospitals and ramping up CSO
collaborations, we aim to boost XERAVA® sales. Finally,
we expect to launch etrasimod in Macau and access patients in China through preferential policies in the
Greater Bay Area, and therefore we expect to have three
commercialized products by the end of 2024. We maintain our revenue
guidance of RMB 700 million for this
year and remain confident in achieving our goal of cash flow
breakeven by the end of 2025," Mr. Luo concluded.
Recent Key Product Highlights and Anticipated Milestones
RENAL PRODUCTS PORTFOLIO
NEFECON®
- In March 2024, Singapore Health
Sciences Authority approved NEFEGAN® for the treatment
of primary IgAN in adults at risk of disease progression.
NEFEGAN®, known in other Everest's territories as
NEFECON®, was the first ever treatment for IgAN fully
approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and Singapore marks the third region in Everest's
territories that received New Drug Application ("NDA") approval
after Macau and mainland
China. The product has been
launched in Singapore following
its approval.
- In March 2024, our partner
Calliditas Therapeutics AB ("Calliditas") announced that the FDA
has granted an orphan drug exclusivity period of seven years for
TARPEYO® (the U.S. trade name for NEFECON®),
expiring in December 2030 based on
when the company obtained full approval with a new indication for
this drug product.
- In April 2024, our partner
Calliditas announced additional data analyses from the 2-year Phase
3 NeflgArd trial evaluating NEFECON® in patients with
IgAN were presented at the ISN World Congress of Nephrology. The
data showed the treatment effect of NEFECON® on the risk
of kidney function decline was consistent regardless of baseline
UPCR and there were no meaningful differences in any quality of
life ("QoL") domains between NEFECON® and placebo groups
after 9 months of treatment.
- In April 2024, our partner
Calliditas announced positive results of the global Open Label
Extension ("OLE") study to the Phase 3 NefIgArd study. The OLE
study was designed to provide 9 months of treatment with
NEFECON® for all patients who completed the NefIgArd
study and who at that time had > 1g/g of proteinuria over 24h
and>30 ml/min of estimated glomerular filtration rate ("eGFR").
Topline data from the OLE study showed that the treatment response
was consistent with the NefIgArd study's findings regarding the
endpoints of UPCR and eGFR at 9 months across all patients,
irrespective of whether they had previously been treated with
NEFECON® or with placebo. The safety data after 9 months
of treatment or retreatment with NEFECON® in patients
who completed the NefIgArd study were consistent with previously
reported safety data.
- In April 2024, the Hong Kong
Department of Health approved NEFECON® for the treatment
of primary IgAN in adults at risk of disease progression.
Hong Kong marks the fourth region
in Everest territories that NEFECON® received NDA
approval after Singapore,
Macau and mainland China.
- In May 2024, NEFECON®
was successfully launched in mainland China. The official launch of
NEFECON® marks the inception of better patient care in
mainland China, heralding a new
era in the treatment of IgAN. The first prescription of
NEFECON® was issued through an internet hospital,
enhancing speed and convenience of delivering medication to
patients and improving their accessibility. As part of the
pre-launch preparation, Everest had initiated an early access
program in the Hainan Boao pilot zone in 2023. Approximately 700
patients registered for this program. Following the NDA approval of
NEFECON® in Macau in
December 2023, a few hundred patients
from mainland China received
prescription of the medication in Macau. In addition, over 23,000 Chinese
patients have registered in an IgAN patient program. These
initiatives highlight the urgent and unmet medical needs for
NEFECON® in IgAN patients, and provide a foundation for
the rapid adoption in mainland China.
- In May 2024, our partner
Calliditas disclosed Asahi Kasei Corporation's ("Asahi Kasei")
public cash offer to acquire all shares in Calliditas for
SEK 208 in cash per Share (the
"Offer"). The Offer will also include a concurrent offer by Asahi
Kasei to acquire all American Depositary Shares ("ADS"), each
representing two Shares in Calliditas, for SEK 416 in cash per ADS, which will be conducted
pursuant to the securities rules of the
United States. The total value of the Offer corresponds to
SEK 11,164 million.
- In June 2024, our partner
Calliditas announced an analysis of the treatment benefits of of
NEFECON® compared with sparsentan in IgAN at the 61st
European Renal Association Congress (ERA 2024). The presented
analysis showed that treatment with NEFECON® 16 mg/day
for 9 months was associated with eGFR benefit compared with
continuous treatment with sparsentan 400 mg/day over 2 years.
- Post-Reporting Period achievements and expected
milestones:
- In July 2024, China's National Medical Products
Administration accepted the submission of a supplemental New Drug
Application (sNDA) seeking full approval of NEFECON®
based on the complete clinical data from the global Phase 3
NeflgArd study. NEFECON® is expected to become the
first-in-disease IgA nephropathy (IgAN) treatment to receive full
approval by the NMPA.
- In July 2024, our partner
Calliditas announced that the European Commission has granted a
full marketing authorization for Kinpeygo (the European trade name
for NEFECON®) for the treatment of adults with primary
IgAN.
- We expect to report topline results from our open label study
of NEFECON® in China in
the second half of 2024.
- We expect to receive NEFECON® NDA approval in
South Korea in the second half of
2024.
- We expect to commercially launch NEFECON® in
Hong Kong in the second half of
2024.
- We expect inclusion of NEFECON® in the Kidney
Disease: Improving Global Outcomes ("KDIGO") 2024 guidelines as
well as in the first Chinese guideline for IgAN in the second half
of 2024.
Zetomipzomib is a novel, first-in-class, selective
immunoproteasome inhibitor currently being evaluated for a range of
immune-mediated disorders, including lupus nephritis ("LN"). It was
licensed from Kezar Life Sciences ("Kezar") in September 2023 for development and
commercialization in Greater
China, South Korea and
Southeast Asia.
- In February 2024, the Center for
Drug Evaluation (CDE) of NMPA approved Kezar's IND application of
zetomipzomib for initiation of the Phase 2b PALIZADE trial in China in patients with active LN. LN is the
most common secondary immune-mediated glomerular disease, which may
gradually lead to kidney failure. There are an estimated
400,000-600,000 LN patients in China.
- In July 2024, the first Chinese
patient has been dosed in the global Phase 2b PALIZADE trial for the treatment of active LN.
Leveraging the company's strengths in clinical development,
regulatory filing, and commercialization, we will accelerate the
development of zetomipzomib to benefit patients in China as soon as possible.
EVER001 (previously known as XNW1011), is the
next-generation covalent reversible Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK)
inhibitor in development globally for the treatment of renal
diseases.
- We expect to report topline results from EVER001 Phase
1b study in membranous nephropathy in
the second half of 2024.
INFECTIOUS DISEASE PORTFOLIO
XERAVA® (eravacycline)
- In January 2024, eravacycline's
clinical breakpoint was officially approved by Expert Committee of
the National Health Commission on Antimicrobial Susceptibility
Testing and Standard Research (ChinaCAST), so that the drug can be
used more accurately in clinical practice in China.
- In August 2024, the Expert
Committee on Clinical Application and Resistance Evaluation of
Antimicrobial Drugs of the National Health Commission published
positive interim results from the "Comprehensive Evaluation Project
on the Clinical Application of Eravacycline". The results showed
that the overall efficacy rate of eravacycline was 89.0% at the end
of treatment, and incidence of adverse effect was only 2.9%.
Taniborbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor ("BLI")
that, in combination with cefepime, may offer a potential treatment
option for patients with serious bacterial infections caused by
difficult-to-treat resistant gram-negative bacteria, most notably
carbapenem- resistant Enterobacterales ("CRE") and
carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa ("CRPA").
- In February 2024, our partner
Venatorx Pharmaceuticals announced that The New England Journal of
Medicine (NEJM) published the results of the CERTAIN-1 Phase 3
clinical study of cefepime-taniborbactam for the treatment of adult
patients with complicated urinary tract infections ("cUTI"),
including acute pyelonephritis. The results showed that
cefepime-taniborbactam was superior to meropenem for the treatment
of cUTI that included acute pyelonephritis, with a similar safety
profile to meropenem.
- We expect to submit NDA of cefepime-taniborbactam for the cUTI
indication in mainland Chinain 2025.
AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE PORTFOLIO
VELSIPITY® (etrasimod)
- In Feb. 2024, partner Pfizer
Inc. announced that the European Commission has granted marketing
authorization for VELSIPITY® (etrasimod) in the European
Union to treat patients 16 years of age and older with moderately
to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) who have had an
inadequate response, lost response, or were intolerant to either
conventional therapy, or a biological agent.
- In March 2024, Pharmaceutical
Administration Bureau of the Macau Special Administrative Region,
China, accepted Everest's NDA for
VELSIPITY® (etrasimod) for the treatment of moderately
to severely active ulcerative colitis.
- In April2024, Pharmaceutical Administration Bureau of the
Macau Special Administrative Region, China approved the NDA for
VELSIPITY® (etrasimod) for the treatment of adult
patients with moderately to severely active UC. It marks the first
approval of VELSIPITY® in Everest territories. The
number of UC patients in China is
projected to double from 2019 to 2030 to approximately one million
by 2030, highlighting the urgent need for novel treatments.
Leveraging the preferential policies in the Greater Bay Area in
China, we're poised to accelerate
drug accessibility for mainland China following the Macau approval.
- In May 2024, Singapore Health
Sciences Authority approved VELSIPITY™ (etrasimod) for adults with
moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).
- Post-Reporting Period achievements and expected
milestones:
- In July 2024, Everest announced
positive topline data results of the maintenance period from a
multi-center Phase 3 clinical trial of etrasimod in Asia for the treatment of subjects with
moderately-to-severely active UC. This is the largest Phase 3 trial
of moderately-to-severely active UC in Asia completed to date, with 340 eligible
subjects randomized to treatment with etrasimod or placebo. The
data of maintenance period confirmed that, after 40 weeks of
treatment, etrasimod demonstrated significant clinical and
statistical improvements over placebo in the primary and all key
secondary endpoints (p<0.0001), and other secondary endpoints
(including mucosal healing and endoscopic normalization, both
p<0.0001). The safety profile of etrasimod was consistent with
previous studies, with no new safety signals observed.
- We expect to commercially launch VELSIPITY®
(etrasimod) in Macau and take
advantage of the preferential policies in the Greater Bay Area of
China to accelerate drug
accessibility to patients in China
in the second half of 2024.
- We expect to submit NDA for VELSIPITY® (etrasimod)
to China's NMPA for approval in
the second half of 2024.
- We expect to submit NDA for VELSIPITY® (etrasimod)
in Hong Kong in the second half of
2024.
mRNA PLATFORM
The clinically-validated mRNA platform is a core part of our
discovery efforts and the Company made an important strategic
transformation in 2024 by terminating the collaboration and license
agreement with Providence Therapeutics Holdings Inc. Everest has
shifted our focus to mRNA cancer therapeutic vaccine, to which we
have full intellectual property rights and global rights. We
currently have four mRNA cancer therapeutic vaccine programs under
development for various solid tumor indications. We have
deprioritized the development of the COVID19 vaccines due to
declining economic and social benefits. We believe our therapeutic
cancer vaccines under development hold great potential to address
significant unmet medical needs globally.
- In Feb. 2024, Everest announced
the termination of the collaboration and license agreements with
Providence Therapeutics Holdings Inc. Everest continues to develop
its own therapeutic vaccine products utilizing the mRNA
platform.
- In August 2024, Everest
announced the launch of an Investigator-Initiated Clinical Trial
(IIT) for a personalized mRNA cancer vaccine, EVM16, under the
study EVM16CX01, at the Peking University Cancer Hospital and Fudan
University's Cancer Hospital. This trial is designed to assess the
safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of
EVM16 injection as a monotherapy and in combination with PD-1
antibody for patients with advanced or recurrent solid tumors.
EVM16CX01 is the first-in-human (FIH) trial for EVM16.
- We expect to submit investigational new drug applications for
the Tumor-Associated Antigens (TAA) cancer vaccine in 2025.
Commercialization
We have made significant commercial progress and meaningfully
advanced both of our marketed products in the first half of
2024.
For NEFECON®, the leading drug in our renal
portfolio, we have successfully launched the product utilizing a
combination oftraditional hospitals detailing and innovative online
prescribing, to meet the urgent and significant unmet needs of an
estimated 5 million IgAN patients. So far this year, we have
completed the build-out of the NEFECON® sales force to
more than 100 representatives. This team will cover400-600 core
hospitals which represent more than 60% of the addressable IgAN
population. Additionally, over 23,000 patients have registered
pre-product launch in an IgAN patient program, which underscores
the significant unmet needs for this first-in-disease medicine.
Earlier this year, we also started working with partners to
establish an innovative ecosystem for kidney disease diagnostics
and treatment, with the aim to provide IgAN patients a tool to
enhance disease diagnosis and track disease progression without
biopsy.
XERAVA® (eravacycline), our first commercialized
product in China and a
first-in-class fluorocycline antibiotic, is in its first full year
of sales and growth remains robust. To further increase the
availability of XERAVA® and expand our reach to more
patients in need, we have started partnering with Contract Sales
Organizations ("CSO") to benefit patients outside of our 300
covered core hospitals. This will contribute to product revenue
growth, but the vast majority of our product revenue will still be
generated by our in-house commercial team. Eravacycline's clinical
breakpoint was officially approved by the Expert Committee of the
National Health Commission on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing
and Standard Research (ChinaCAST) for clinical use in China. With the new breakpoint, eravacycline
can be recognized by more physicians and patients as the preferred
treatment in clinical practice across the country and over 100
hospitals in China have already
adopted the new breakpoint. In addition, inclusion of eravacycline
in the Catalogue of Hierarchical Management of Clinical Application
of Antimicrobial Drugs in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangdong underscores recognition of the
drug's clinical benefits by China's key opinion leaders. This year,
eravacycline was newly included into The Surgical Infection Society
Guidelines on the Management of Intra-Abdominal Infection: 2024
Update and China's Clinical
Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines for Multidrug-resistant
Bacterial Infections in Renal Transplantation, and was published in
the following medical publications:

We will continue to grow and strengthen our commercial portfolio
in the second half of 2024 through persistent efforts and
innovative approaches. We maintain full year sales guidance of
RMB700 million from the combined
sales of NEFECON® and XERAVA®.
Multiple initiatives are expected to accelerate growth of
NEFECON® sales. First, we anticipate inclusion of
NEFECON® in the 2024 revised Kidney Disease Improving
Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines as well as the first Chinese
guideline for IgAN as a first-line treatment for IgAN patients with
risk of disease progression. We also plan to actively participate
in China's National Reimbursement
Drug List (NDRL) negotiations in the second half of 2024, to make
the drug more affordable in order to achieve wide penetration of
the large IgAN population of approximately 5 million patients in
China. Those initiatives are
expected to drive higher sales volumes along with the expansion of
sales force to around 150 representatives. In parallel, we are
working to enhance physician and patient education on the benefits
of early treatment with NEFECON® to further improve
kidney function protection. Our team is also launching several
real-world studies on NEFECON® usage to provide
physicians with additional clinical use guidance. Furthermore,
later in 2024 we intend to expand availability of this
first-in-disease medication to more IgAN patients in Asian regions
including Singapore and
Hong Kong.
We will continue to grow the sales of XERAVA® through
deeper penetration of our covered core hospitals such as expanding
usage scenarios. With over a year of XERAVA® clinical
experience in China, we expect to
publish real world data on eravacycline usage in different types of
patients in the second half of this year. We expect this will help
guide hospitals and physicians on potentially wider treatment
scope. We also anticipate XERAVA® to be included in
additional treatment guidelines for anti-infectives and further
strengthen its position as a foundational empirical treatment of
multidrug-resistant infections.
We will have three commercialized products in the second half of
this year with the expected commercial launch of etrasimod in
Macau. We will also take advantage
of the preferential policies in the Greater Bay area of
China to accelerate drug
accessibility to patients in mainland China this year.
Discovery
Internal discovery is a key growth driver for the company's
value creation. In about three years, Everest has successfully
localized a clinically validated mRNA platform and built end-to-end
capabilities in house to develop and manufacture mRNA
therapeutics. Our internal discovery team in Shanghai consists of over 30 scientists
developing multiple mRNA cancer therapeutics based on our fully
integrated and clinically validated platform. We continue to
innovate the platform by developing next generation delivery system
and improving our mRNA sequence algorism. Everest also established
a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) compliant manufacturing
facility capable of producing clinical and commercial scale mRNA
products
In February 2024, the Company
agreed to terminate the collaboration and license agreements with
Providence and will continue to
develop our own mRNA products with full intellectual property and
global commercial rights Therapeutic cancer vaccines is currently
the core focus area of Everest's discovery efforts as this area
holds great potential to address unmet medical needs globally. An
Investigator-Initiated Clinical Trial (IIT) for a personalized mRNA
cancer vaccine, EVM16, was launched in August 2024. EVM16 is the first therapeutic
vaccine independently developed by Everest utilizing the mRNA
platform. In the pipeline are various other cancer vaccine programs
including a Tumor-Associated Antigens (TAA) cancer vaccine and an
immune-modulatory cancer vaccine. In addition, we are also working
on mRNA-based in vivo CAR-Tprograms which can be used for cancer
and autoimmune diseases.
Business Development
In 2024 our business development strategy remains focused on
first-in-class or best-in-class assets in less crowded, high value
therapeutic areas such as renal diseases, autoimmune disorders, and
anti-infective categories. Given our established strong commercial
presence, we are increasing our attention on commercial-stage
assets where we can leverage our experienced and effective sales
organization to create operational synergies and build scale.
We believe that we can continue to solidify our leadership position
across these therapeutic categories through effective pipeline
buildup to drive growth of commercial cash flows for the Company
and advance our profitability targets.On outward partnerships,
ourcutting-edge cancer vaccine programs based on our mRNA
technology platform with full intellectual property rights could
potentially bring global partnership opportunities starting at
early stage and expand value creation for our shareholders.
Key Corporate Developments
We are working with partners to establish an innovative
ecosystem for kidney disease diagnostics and treatment, with the
aim to provide IgAN patients with a tool to enhance disease
diagnosis and track disease progression without biopsy.
