“Our recent achievement of several critical milestones exemplifies our focus on execution as we continue the rapid pace of development for our lead program, PB2452,” said Jonathan P. Mow, Chief Executive Officer of PhaseBio. “The advancement of this potentially life-saving therapy from Phase 1 development to registrational studies this year highlights the benefits afforded by Breakthrough Therapy designation and the Accelerated Approval pathway. We believe we remain well positioned to initiate a Phase 3 trial in the first quarter of 2020 in major bleeding and urgent surgical populations to support the submission of a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for potential accelerated approval of PB2452. With global ticagrelor sales growing 24% year over year in the third quarter of 2019, we continue to see an increasing potential market for PB2452 and are working aggressively to complete the pivotal studies and deliver this therapy to patients in need.”
Third Quarter and Recent Corporate Progress
Upcoming Milestones
Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Cash Position
Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2019 were $81.8 million, compared to $61.0 million at December 31, 2018. The increase primarily reflects the net proceeds from our underwritten public offering of our common stock in April 2019, partially offset by cash used in operating activities, including the development of our clinical stage programs.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2019
PhaseBio reported a net loss of $11.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared with a net loss of $7.9 million for the same period in 2018. This resulted in a net loss of $0.40 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to a net loss of $10.45 per share for the corresponding period in 2018, on both a basic and diluted basis.
Grant revenue was $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as PhaseBio incurred allowable costs qualifying for reimbursement under the government grants. PhaseBio recorded $0.4 million of grant revenue for the same period in 2018. Research and development expense increased to $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, reflecting increased costs associated with preclinical and clinical development activities largely related to PB2452 and increased personnel costs.
General and administrative expense increased to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily attributable to increases in professional services including legal, marketing and other consulting services, personnel expense due to additional headcount and expenses associated with being a public company.
About PB2452
PB2452 is a novel, recombinant, human monoclonal antibody antigen-binding fragment designed to reverse the antiplatelet activity of ticagrelor in major bleeding and urgent surgery situations. In a Phase 1 clinical trial, PB2452 demonstrated the potential to bring life-saving therapeutic benefit through immediate and sustained reversal of ticagrelor’s antiplatelet activity, mitigating concerns regarding bleeding risks associated with the use of antiplatelet drugs. The Phase 1 clinical trial of PB2452 in healthy volunteers was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in March 2019.1 In April 2019, PB2452 received Breakthrough Therapy designation from the FDA. Breakthrough Therapy designation may be granted by FDA when preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapy. PhaseBio plans to initiate a single pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of PB2452 in the first quarter of 2020 to support a BLA for PB2452 in both major bleeding and urgent surgery indications. There are currently no approved reversal agents for ticagrelor or any other antiplatelet drugs.
