OLDWICK, N.J., Nov. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
Q3 2018 and Recent Corporate Highlights:
Provention Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRVB), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to intercepting and preventing immune-mediated diseases, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018, and provided a business update.
"Provention has continued to build momentum since completing our initial public offering in July. Our just-announced co-development agreement with Amgen and in-licensing of AMG-714 (PRV-015), is a clear indication that our strategic vision of intercepting and preventing immune-mediated disease is compelling and resonates with industry leaders and innovators," stated Ashleigh Palmer, CEO of Provention Bio. "In just eighteen months since our founding financing, we have been able to build a deep and diversified pipeline that now includes six programs targeting the interception and prevention of chronic autoimmune diseases including type 1 diabetes, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, lupus, and celiac disease. In so doing, we have demonstrated a unique ability to customize strategically aligned relationships that leverage the strengths, expertise, resources, and even manufacturing capabilities of technology originators, licensors and partners, including Janssen Pharmaceuticals and, now, Amgen."
Mr. Palmer concluded, "Looking ahead, we expect the fourth quarter and 2019 to be a period of continued growth and momentum for Provention as we advance our clinical programs targeting upstream processes that could substantially improve the lives of patients and their families who must endure the suffering and bear the burden of immune-mediated disease."
Third Quarter 2018 and Recent Activities:
Financial Highlights:
As of September 30, 2018, Provention had cash and cash equivalents of $64.3 million. In July 2018, the Company completed its initial public offering which generated approximately $59.3 million in net proceeds after deducting commissions and expenses.
Net loss for the second quarter 2018 was $5.4 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2017. The increase in net loss year-over-year is primarily attributable to an increase in research and development costs of $3.3 million associated with the clinical development of PRV-6527 and PRV-300, the development of PRV-101, and costs for PRV-031, which was acquired from MacroGenics in May 2018, as well as an increase in general and administrative costs of $0.8 million.
Net loss for the nine months ended 2018 was $21.1 million, or $1.21 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $5.7 million, or $0.62 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2017. The increase in net loss year-over-year is primarily attributable to an increase in research and development costs of $13.1 million associated with clinical development of PRV-6527 and PRV-300, the development expenses related to PRV-101, and costs related to the expansion of our clinical pipeline with two additional assets from MacroGenics in May 2018, as well as an increase in general and administrative costs of $2.1 million.
