“In the second quarter, we achieved clinical proof of concept for our glutaminase inhibitor telaglenastat, with positive topline results of the randomized phase 2 ENTRATA study,” said Susan Molineaux, PhD, president and chief executive officer of Calithera. “After completing a secondary offering in the quarter, we are well positioned to execute on our strategy and advance our pipeline forward. In the second half of the year, we look forward to completing enrollment in our registrational CANTATA trial evaluating telaglenastat for the treatment of patients with renal cell carcinoma, as well as presenting data from our arginase inhibitor program INCB001158.”
Second Quarter 2019 and Recent Highlights
Selected Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $153.2 million at June 30, 2019.
Research and development expenses were $20.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared with $17.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase of $3.6 million was primarily due to a $1.5 million increase in the telaglenastat program, including for the CANTATA trial, an increase of $1.5 million in the INCB001158 program, and an increase of $0.7 million in the CB-280 program, partially offset by a decrease of $0.1 million for investment in our early stage research programs.
General and administrative expenses were $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared with $3.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase of $0.5 million was related to higher professional services costs.
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $24.2 million, or $0.58 per share.
