XERAVA Sales Grew 133% Compared with First Quarter of 2019
Increased Formulary Uptake, with a 99.7% Success Rate for all Formulary Reviews to Date
-Company to Hold Conference Call Today at 4:30 PM ET-
Tetraphase Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTPH) a biopharmaceutical company focused on commercializing its novel tetracycline XERAVATM (eravacycline for injection) to treat serious and life-threatening infections, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.
“In the second quarter, we continued to work diligently to increase formulary uptake for XERAVA and are excited to report that strong month over month sales growth resulted in a 133% increase in XERAVA revenue compared with the previous quarter, with 154 new ordering customers in the second quarter,” said Larry Edwards, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tetraphase. “During the quarter, we also undertook a corporate reorganization aimed at maximizing the commercial opportunity of our lead asset, XERAVA. XERAVA is a critically important new addition to the hospital antibiotic armamentarium, and as a newly streamlined organization, we are concentrating our efforts entirely on ensuring its commercial success. We believe the growth rate in XERAVA revenues will continue to be strong for the foreseeable future.”
Second Quarter and Recent Highlights
Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results
As of June 30, 2019, Tetraphase had cash and cash equivalents of $71.0 million and 54.3 million shares outstanding. The Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents, as well as expected revenue, will be sufficient to fund operations into the middle of the third quarter of 2020.
For the second quarter of 2019, Tetraphase reported a net loss of $22.9 million, or $0.42 per share, compared to a net loss of $9.5 million, or $0.18 per share, for the same period in 2018. The increased loss was largely due to a decrease in license and collaboration revenue and government revenue of $11.3 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared with the second quarter of 2018.
Revenues from sales of XERAVA were $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared with $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2019. Total revenues, including License and Collaboration Revenue and Government Revenue, were $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $11.6 million for the same period in 2018. Total revenues for the second quarter of 2019 consisted of XERAVA product revenue of $0.8 million as well government contract revenue of $0.3 million. The decrease in total revenues for the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same prior-year period was due to a decrease in both revenue from our collaboration with Everest Medicines and government revenue, offset in part by XERAVA revenue.
Research and development (R&D) expenses for the second quarter of 2019 were $8.2 million, compared to $14.4 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease in R&D expenses for the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same prior-year period was primarily due to a decrease in activity across all of our pipeline programs vs. the prior year, and lower license and milestone payments to Harvard University that occurred in the second quarter of 2018.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2019 were $15.1 million, compared to $7.2 million for the same period in 2018. This increase in SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same prior-year period was primarily due to an increase in commercial-related expenses for XERAVA.

About XERAVATM
XERAVA(eravacycline for injection) is a tetracycline class antibacterial indicated for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) in patients 18 years of age and older. XERAVA was investigated for the treatment of cIAI as part of the Company's IGNITE (Investigating Gram-Negative Infections Treated with Eravacycline) Phase 3 program. In the first pivotal Phase 3 trial in patients with cIAI, twice-daily intravenous (IV) XERAVA met the primary endpoint by demonstrating statistical non-inferiority of clinical response compared to ertapenem and was well-tolerated. In the second Phase 3 clinical trial in patients with cIAI, twice-daily IV XERAVA met the primary endpoint by demonstrating statistical non-inferiority of clinical response compared to meropenem and was well-tolerated. In both trials, XERAVA achieved high cure rates in patients with Gram-negative pathogens, including resistant isolates.
XERAVATM Important Safety Information
XERAVA is a tetracycline class antibacterial indicated for the treatment of complicated intra‑abdominal infections in patients 18 years of age and older.
XERAVA is not indicated for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections.
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of XERAVA and other antibacterial drugs, XERAVA should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria.
XERAVA is contraindicated for use in patients with known hypersensitivity to eravacycline, tetracycline-class antibacterial drugs or to any of the excipients. Life-threatening hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) reactions have been reported with XERAVA.
The use of XERAVA during tooth development (last half of pregnancy, infancy and childhood to the age of eight years) may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth (yellow-gray-brown) and enamel hypoplasia.
The use of XERAVA during the second and third trimester of pregnancy, infancy and childhood up to the age of eight years may cause reversible inhibition of bone growth.
Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with use of nearly all antibacterial agents and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis.
The most common adverse reactions observed in clinical trials (incidence ≥ 3%) were infusion site reactions, nausea, and vomiting.
XERAVA is structurally similar to tetracycline-class antibacterial drugs and may have similar adverse reactions. Adverse reactions including photosensitivity, pseudotumor cerebri, and anti‑anabolic action which has led to increased blood urea nitrogen, azotemia, acidosis, hyperphosphatemia, pancreatitis, and abnormal liver function tests, have been reported for other tetracycline-class antibacterial drugs, and may occur with XERAVA. Discontinue XERAVA if any of these adverse reactions are suspected.
To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Tetraphase Pharmaceuticals Inc., at 1-833-7-XERAVA (1-833-793-7282) or FDA at 1‑800‑FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
