“The closing of our sale of TEMBEXA to Emergent allows Chimerix to accelerate the value of this product while still participating in its longer-term potential. As we look ahead, our balance sheet is enhanced significantly to support the ongoing development of our oncology franchise. This includes ONC201 which has demonstrated durable responses and an attractive safety profile in a genetically defined population of patients with H3 K27M mutant high-grade glioma. This would represent the first approved therapy specifically targeting patients with this invariably lethal disease,” said Mike Sherman, Chief Executive Officer of Chimerix.
EBS paid Chimerix $238 million at closing. The closing amount was subject to the terms of the agreement executed between Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) and Chimerix for the procurement of TEMBEXA. Additional future economics from the transaction include:
Development and procurement of TEMBEXA have been supported in part with federal funds from BARDA, in the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response in the Department of Health and Human Services under Contracts HHSO100201100013C and 75A50122C00047.
About TEMBEXA
TEMBEXA (brincidofovir) is a nucleotide analog lipid-conjugate designed to mimic a natural monoacyl phospholipid to achieve effective intracellular concentrations of the active antiviral metabolite, cidofovir diphosphate. Cidofovir diphosphate exerts its orthopoxvirus antiviral effects by acting as an alternate substrate inhibitor for viral DNA synthesis mediated by viral DNA polymerase.
In June 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted approval of TEMBEXA for the treatment of smallpox as a medical countermeasure. TEMBEXA is an oral antiviral formulated as 100 mg tablets and 10 mg/mL oral suspension dosed once weekly for two weeks. TEMBEXA is indicated for the treatment of human smallpox disease caused by variola virus in adult and pediatric patients, including neonates. TEMBEXA is not indicated for the treatment of diseases other than human smallpox disease. The effectiveness of TEMBEXA for the treatment of smallpox disease has not been determined in humans because adequate and well-controlled field trials have not been feasible and inducing smallpox disease in humans to study the drug’s efficacy is not ethical. TEMBEXA efficacy may be reduced in immunocompromised patients based on studies in immune deficient animals.
