Philip A. Serlin
|

|
|
Chief Executive Officer
|
|
• |
Appointed Tami Rachmilewitz, M.D. as Chief Medical Officer
|
• |
Finalized formation of the U.S. commercial leadership team, which collectively has significant drug launch and sales experience, with particular expertise in stem cell mobilization and transplantation
|
• |
Announced FDA acceptance of the APHEXDA® (motixafortide) NDA in stem cell mobilization for autologous transplantation in multiple myeloma patients. PDUFA target action date set for September 9, 2023
|
• |
Presented a cost-effectiveness analysis of APHEXDA® (motixafortide) versus plerixafor in stem cell mobilization for autologous transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) 64th
Annual Meeting, which was held December 10-13, 2022, in New Orleans, Louisiana. The analysis demonstrated significant net cost savings with APHEXADA® (motixafortide)
|
• |
Continued to advance preparation activities for a Phase 2b randomized clinical trial with 200 patients assessing motixafortide in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor and standard-of-care chemotherapy as a first line metastatic PDAC (mPDAC)
therapy with collaboration partner GenFleet. Anticipate clinical trial initiation in 2023
|
• |
Continued collaboration progress with Columbia University investigator-initiated Phase 2 study assessing motixafortide in combination with the PD-1 inhibitor cemiplimab and standard-of-care chemotherapy in first line mPDAC patients.
Anticipate initial patient data in 2023
|
• |
Announced clinical trial collaboration with Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis to evaluate motixafortide as monotherapy and in combination with natalizumab for CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell mobilization for gene
therapies in sickle cell disease. Anticipate clinical trial initiation in 2023. Clinical trial design was presented at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) 64th Annual Meeting, which was held December 10-13, 2022, in New
Orleans, Louisiana
|
• |
Announced results from Phase 1/2a study of investigational anti-tumor vaccine AGI-134 in metastatic solid tumors. First-in-human, single-agent study met primary endpoint for safety and tolerability and demonstrated immune activity
across multiple biomarkers. The Company is evaluating potential development program pathways in consultation with its scientific advisory board
|
• |
Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022, were $17.6 million compared to $19.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease resulted primarily from lower expenses related to NDA supporting
activities related to motixafortide, as well as lower expenses associated with the completed motixafortide GENESIS clinical trial, offset by an increase in expenses associated with the AGI-134 study and an increase in payroll and related
expenses
|
• |
Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022, were $6.5 million compared to $1.0 million the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase resulted primarily from initiation of pre-commercialization activities related to
motixafortide, as well as an increase in market research
|
• |
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022, were $5.1 million compared to $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in share-based compensation and
small increases in a number of general and administrative expenses
|
• |
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022, was $25.0 million, compared to $27.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021
|
• |
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term bank deposits of $51.1 million and anticipates this will be sufficient to fund operations, as currently planned, into the first half of 2024
