ROCKVILLE, Md., May 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
REGENXBIO Inc. (Nasdaq: RGNX) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021, and recent operational highlights.
"In the first quarter of 2021, we were able to build upon the important clinical advancements we made in 2020, including continued enrollment of patients in the Company's first pivotal trial for the treatment of wet AMD," said Kenneth T. Mills, President and Chief Executive Officer of REGENXBIO. "Additionally, we are pleased to announce the advancement of our Phase II AAVIATE® trial for the suprachoroidal delivery of RGX-314 for wet AMD where we have completed enrollment in the second cohort of patients and expanded the trial to evaluate suprachoroidal delivery of RGX-314 in patients who are positive for neutralizing antibodies. This cohort of patients may provide us additional information about the effects of RGX-314 in neutralizing antibody positive patients, potentially broadening the patient population that could be treated with this in-office delivery approach."
Mr. Mills added: "Beyond RGX-314, we have continued to advance our MPS II clinical program, enrolling additional patients in our ongoing Phase I/II trial of RGX-121 in younger patients, as well as dosing the first patient in our Phase I/II trial of RGX-121 in older patients. The ongoing Phase I/II trial of RGX-111 in patients with MPS I also continues to advance, having completed dosing in Cohort 1. We are also on track to file an IND for RGX-202 in mid-2021. We look forward to providing additional updates from our programs in 2021."

NAV Technology Licensee Program Highlights
As of March 31, 2021, REGENXBIO's NAV Technology Platform was being applied in one marketed product and multiple clinical stage programs, with over 20 partnered programs in total. REGENXBIO's NAV Technology Licensees are advancing product candidates in a broad range of therapeutic areas and disease indications. Recent updates from NAV Technology Licensees include:
Marketed NAV Technology Products
REGENXBIO's NAV Technology Platform is being applied in one marketed product, Zolgensma®. On April 27, 2021, Novartis AG reported first quarter 2021 global Zolgensma sales revenue of $319 million.
Financial Results
Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $656.5 million as of March 31, 2021, compared to $522.5 million as of December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to $216.1 million of aggregate net proceeds received from the Company's follow-on public offering of common stock completed in January 2021, including the full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares in connection with the offering. The increase was partially offset by net cash used in operating activities of $41.1 million, cash used to purchase property and equipment of $31.0 million, and Zolgensma royalties paid to Healthcare Royalty Management, LLC of $9.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Revenues: Revenues were $18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $17.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to Zolgensma royalty revenues, which increased by $8.3 million, from $10.0 million for the first quarter of 2020 to $18.3 million for the first quarter of 2021. As reported by Novartis, sales of Zolgensma for the first quarter of 2021 increased by 88% as compared to the first quarter of 2020. The increase in revenues was partially offset by non-recurring revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 related to new licenses to the NAV Technology Platform granted by REGENXBIO during the period.
Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses were $39.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $37.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to personnel costs as a result of increased headcount, laboratory and facilities costs, and clinical trial expenses for our lead product candidates.
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $17.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $14.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to personnel costs as a result of increased headcount and professional fees for advisory and other services.
Net Loss: Net loss was $50.1 million, or $1.20 basic and diluted net loss per share, for the three months March 31, 2021, compared to net loss of $40.0 million, or $1.08 basic and diluted net loss per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Financial Guidance
Based on its current operating plan, REGENXBIO expects its balance in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $656.5 million as of March 31, 2021, to fund its operations, including the completion of its internal manufacturing capabilities and clinical advancement of its product candidates, into the second half of 2023.
