“2018 was an important year of learnings and significant progress for Jounce. We accomplished several milestones, most notably data readouts and analyses from the Phase 1/2 ICONIC trial for vopratelimab, formerly called JTX-2011, at ASCO and SITC, which provided important insights into vopratelimab’s mechanism of action and a strong scientific rationale for the next stage of clinical development. We also continued to advance our pipeline of immunotherapies including JTX-4014, our PD-1 inhibitor, which began a Phase 1 clinical trial and completed enrollment in the first cohort in late 2018,” said Richard Murray, Ph.D., chief executive officer and president of Jounce Therapeutics.
“In 2019, we plan to advance our first-in-class highly selective antibody JTX-8064, which targets the LILRB2 receptor on macrophages, by filing an IND and initiating a Phase 1 trial, supporting our goal of three immunotherapies in the clinic this year, while we continue to progress novel discovery programs toward development. We remain committed to advancing our pipeline through our unique translational approach and are convinced, more than ever, that the potential for durable survival benefit in the next generation of immunotherapies will require investment in understanding translational mechanistic science and biomarkers from the clinic,” Dr. Murray continued.
Pipeline Highlights:
Vopratelimab (JTX-2011)
Tumor reductions were associated with an ICOS pharmacodynamic biomarker, specifically, emergence in the peripheral blood of a population of ICOS hi CD4 T cells, which have the characteristics of activated CD4 T effector cells. In a separate study, these cells were not identified in patients treated with PD-1 inhibitor monotherapy, including responders. This pharmacodynamic biomarker has been critical in the interpretation of Jounce’s clinical data and in informing the planned Phase 2 clinical studies.
Additionally, in a separate analysis, vopratelimab was demonstrated to activate CD4 T cells only if they express high levels of ICOS per T cell. The association of the emergence of ICOS hi CD4 T cells, clinical benefit and the requirement for these cells to be present for vopratelimab activity has led to two new development paths: first, vopratelimab in combination with ipilimumab and, second, patient selection with potential new predictive biomarkers that may enrich for patients whose CD4 T cells are primed to respond to vopratelimab and, therefore, may be more likely to benefit from treatment.

JTX-8064
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2018 Financial Results:
R&D expenses were $70.1 million for the full year 2018, compared to $67.8 million for the same period in 2017. The increase in R&D expenses for the full year 2018 was due to $3.1 million of increased employee compensation costs, including $1.7 million of increased stock-based compensation expense, and $3.0 million of increased external clinical and regulatory costs associated with vopratelimab as well as the initiation of the JTX-4014 Phase 1 clinical trial, offset by $2.1 million of decreased external research and development costs and $2.0 million of decreased lab consumables purchases.
Financial Guidance:
Based on its current operating and development plans, Jounce expects cash burn on operating expenses and capital expenditures for the full year 2019 to be approximately $80.0 million to $95.0 million. Jounce expects to record approximately $50.0 million to $60.0 million in non-cash collaboration revenue in 2019 from the continued recognition of the Celgene upfront payment received in 2016.
Given the strength of its balance sheet, Jounce expects its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments to be sufficient to enable the funding of its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 24 months.
