SCY-078 Update
Clinical Development Status of IV Formulation of SCY-078
Clinical Development Program with Oral Formulation of SCY-078 On Track
Eight SCY-078 Data Presentations at ECCMID
SCY-078 In Vitro Activity Against Candida auris Reported
Additional SCY-078 Target Indications Under Consideration
"In the first quarter of 2017, we continued to advance the development program for the oral formulation of SCY-078, our lead development program and the first representative of a novel triterpenoid antifungal family," said Marco Taglietti, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of SCYNEXIS. “Although the recent regulatory action is causing some delay in the development of our intravenous formulation, we are progressing our oral development program as planned while we address the clinical hold on the IV formulation. We remain committed to advancing SCY-078 as a treatment for increasingly urgent global health threats. As recently presented at ECCMID, there is a growing body of SCY-078 clinical and nonclinical research highlighting the potential versatility of this compound against multiple invasive, drug-resistant and difficult-to-treat fungal infections, including Candida auris.”
First Quarter 2017 Financial ResultsCash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $54.9 million as of March 31, 2017, with net working capital of $52.2 million.
Research and development, net expenses decreased to $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2017, compared to $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2016. The decrease of $0.7 million, or 15%, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily driven by a decrease of $0.6 million in clinical development expenses and a decrease of $0.7 million in chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) expenses, offset in part by a $0.3 million increase in preclinical development and a $0.3 million increase in professional services.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2017, compared to $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2016. The decrease of $0.5 million, or 19%, was primarily the result of a decrease of $0.6 million in consulting and professional services.
Total other income increased to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2017 due to a $1.5 million non-cash gain recorded on the adjustment in the fair value of the warrant liability, offset in part by a $0.3 million increase in interest expense.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2017 was $4.9 million, or $0.19 per share. This compares to a net loss for the first quarter of 2016 of $7.2 million, or $0.52 per share.
