“The first quarter of 2019 and early April were highlighted by advancements in our KP415 and APADAZ® programs, serving to propel each towards what we believe will be significant value building events in the coming months,” said Travis C. Mickle, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of KemPharm. “For KP415, our prodrug product candidate being developed for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), we announced the completion of the pre-New Drug Application (NDA) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We have recently received the minutes from that meeting which confirm the previously reported results. In summary, we believe the review of the KP415 pre-NDA briefing package, which included clinical, non-clinical and human abuse potential study results, as well as regulatory elements, was consistent with our interpretation and previous interactions with the FDA, and, as a result, we believe that we are positioned to submit the KP415 NDA in late second quarter or early third quarter 2019.”
“In parallel with the regulatory activities for KP415, we have entered into what we believe are the final stages of the partnering process for our ADHD franchise, which includes KP415 and KP484,” continued Dr. Mickle. “Since the initiation of the partnering process, our goal has been focused on securing an agreement with a partner fully dedicated to maximizing the commercial value of KP415 and KP484. While still engaged with multiple parties, we believe that the process should be complete sometime later this quarter or early third quarter.”
“With regard to APADAZ, we continue to work with our partner, KVK Tech, to advance several initiatives that we believe will contribute to a successful market introduction of the product. The commercial launch remains on track for the second half of 2019,” said Dr. Mickle. “The first quarter was highlighted by three important events. In January, we received FDA approval of two additional dosage strengths of APADAZ. Following that, in February, APADAZ was added to compendia with authorized generic pricing similar to current generics. And most recently, beginning in March, we learned that the ongoing process of formulary adoption of APADAZ and its authorized generic had advanced more rapidly than we anticipated. Notably, according to Managed Markets Insights and Technology estimates, APADAZ, both the brand and authorized generic, is currently being reviewed and added to formularies in various markets including both commercial and Medicaid. Based on this progress and other indicators, we continue to believe that the replacement of current hydrocodone/acetaminophen (APAP) products with APADAZ and its authorized generic has the potential to be a meaningful market opportunity.”
Q1 2019 Financial Results:For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, KemPharm’s reported net loss was $12.3 million, or $0.46 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $26.2 million, or $1.77 per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2018. Net loss for Q1 2019 was driven primarily by an operating loss of $11.4 million and net interest expense and other items of $1.4 million, partially offset by non-cash fair value adjustment income of $0.5 million. The operating loss of $11.4 million for Q1 2019 was a decrease of $3.4 million compared to $14.8 million in Q1 2018, which was primarily due to decreases of $3.1 million in research and development expenses and $0.3 million in general and administrative expenses, respectively.
As of March 31, 2019, total cash, which is comprised of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, was $14.0 million, which was a decrease of $8.4 million as compared to December 31 2018. The decrease in total cash during Q1 2019 was due to a use of cash of $11.1 million, offset by proceeds of $2.7 million on the sale of approximately 1.4 million shares under the equity line of credit with Lincoln Park Capital.
“As we seek to finalize the partnering process for KP415 and KP484, we have utilized a portion of our equity line of credit with Lincoln Park Capital. This additional capital, combined with cost reductions, extends the cash runway further into Q3 2019,” said Dr. Mickle. “In addition, we expect that our cash burn rate will reduce substantially following the NDA filing for KP415.”
