ROCKVILLE, Md., Nov. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
REGENXBIO Inc. (Nasdaq: RGNX), a leading clinical-stage biotechnology company seeking to improve lives through the curative potential of gene therapy based on its proprietary NAV® Technology Platform, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, and recent operational highlights.
"We continue to make significant advances in our pipeline and NAV Technology Platform, expanding the pipeline with programs to deliver therapeutic antibodies, beginning an exciting collaboration with Neurimmune, and initiating construction of a new manufacturing facility," said Kenneth T. Mills, President and Chief Executive Officer of REGENXBIO. "Our focus on patients drives us to build upon the clinical progress of gene therapy options for both large indications and rare diseases, and we are excited to lead the field in innovative approaches. We are also very encouraged by the early adoption of the first approved NAV Technology-based therapy, Novartis' Zolgensma®, for the treatment of SMA."
"We anticipate a short delay in the initiation of our Phase IIb trial for RGX-314 in wet AMD and our investigative new drug, or IND, application filing for diabetic retinopathy, following notification from the FDA regarding certain third-party commercially-available surgical devices that were used to deliver RGX-314 in our Phase I/IIa trial," added Mr. Mills. "The notification is not related to the RGX-314 gene therapy itself, and we have not received reports of any device-related concerns or complications in the subjects already dosed in the Phase I/IIa trial. Assessments and monitoring of all enrolled subjects in the trial continue to be performed as usual. We are working with the FDA to address this matter, and as a result, we now plan to initiate our Phase IIb trial for RGX-314 in wet AMD and file our IND for diabetic retinopathy in Q1 2020,"
"We are encouraged by the data from the Phase I/IIa clinical trial of RGX-314 in patients with wet AMD," said Dr. Stephen Pakola, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of REGENXBIO. "These data demonstrate significant long-term reduction of anti-VEGF treatment burden while maintaining or improving vision and retinal thickness after a single administration of our gene therapy. We look forward to initiating our Phase IIb trial of RGX-314 in wet AMD, and preparing to file an IND to evaluate RGX-314 in diabetic retinopathy, while continuing our collaboration with Clearside to evaluate the in-office suprachoroidal administration of RGX-314. We have also achieved important clinical development milestones in our other gene therapy programs, including completing dosing of Cohort 2 in our RGX-501 trial for HoFH and Cohort 1 in our RGX-121 trial for MPS II. Our internal pipeline of novel gene therapies positions us to develop meaningful potential treatments for a broad spectrum of patients with significant unmet needs."

NAV Technology Licensee Program Highlights

Marketed Products

Partnered Product Candidates
Financial Results
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $417.1 million as of September 30, 2019, compared to $470.6 million as of December 31, 2018. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was primarily attributable to $82.2 million of net cash used in operating activities during the period, partially offset by an unrealized gain of $29.4 million related to our marketable equity securities of Prevail Therapeutics Inc.
Revenues were $14.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable $9.2 million of royalty revenue recognized during the third quarter of 2019 related to net sales of Zolgensma. Commercial sales of Zolgensma commenced in the second quarter of 2019, and we are also eligible to receive a milestone payment of $80.0 million from AveXis, Inc. upon the achievement of $1 billion in cumulative net sales of Zolgensma.
Research and development expenses were $35.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $18.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to personnel costs as a result of increased headcount, laboratory and facilities costs and external expenses associated with conducting clinical trials and manufacturing-related services.
General and administrative expenses were $12.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to personnel costs as a result of increased headcount.
Net loss was $34.6 million, or $0.94 basic and diluted net loss per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net loss of $19.2 million, or $0.56 basic and diluted net loss per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Financial Guidance
Based on its current operating plan, REGENXBIO now expects its balance in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to be at least $365 million as of December 31, 2019.
