TMBR Timber Pharmaceuticals Inc

via NewMediaWire -- Timber Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Timber" or the “Company”) (NYSE American: TMBR), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of treatments for rare and orphan dermatologic diseases, today provided a business update and announced financial results for the first quarter of 2022, ended March 31, 2022.

John Koconis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Timber, commented, “Timber’s lead asset, TMB-001, continues to progress following the receipt of Fast Track designation late last month, which is an important milestone on the path to approval. We believe that TMB-001 has the potential to be the first FDA approved therapy for Congenital Ichthyosis (CI), which has no FDA-approved treatments and limited therapeutic options, and as such, we’ve prioritized its development. This decision follows a series of milestones that includes reporting positive top-line results from our Phase 2b CONTROL study and the successful completion of an end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA.  We also expect to present the Phase 2b data at a number of medical conferences in the U.S. and internationally over the next several months. Near term, we remain focused on launching the Phase 3 ASCEND clinical trial by June 30th, 2022 and advancing the development of this therapy to the patient as quickly as possible.”

Recent Highlights

·       Most recently, and subsequent to quarter end, Timber announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Fast Track designation to its lead asset, TMB-001, a topical isotretinoin formulated using Timber's patented IPEG™ delivery system, for the treatment of X-linked recessive ichthyosis (XRI) and autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis lamellar ichthyosis (ARCI-LI).  Fast Track status facilitates the development and expedites the review of drugs that treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need.

·       In February 2022, Timber announced the successful completion of an End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that resulted in a clear path to the launch of a pivotal Phase 3 study for TMB-001. Timber plans to initiate the Phase 3 study by June 30th, 2022.

·       In March 2022, Christopher Bunick, MD, PhD, Yale University School of Medicine, made a late-breaking presentation of a sub-analysis of Timber’s Phase 2b CONTROL study data that evaluated TMB-001 at the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) 2022 Annual Meeting in Boston, MA. The sub-analysis assessed whether primary efficacy results for TMB-001 differed by CI subtype, and the results demonstrated that patients could achieve treatment success with TMB-001 regardless of the subtype of congenital ichthyosis (CI).

·       Timber ended the first quarter with $13.9 million in cash and common shares outstanding of 63.7 million on March 31, 2022.

·       Timber recognized revenue of $83,177 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $40,734 for the first quarter of 2021. Revenue for both periods consisted of reimbursements from achieving certain clinical milestones in the development of TMB-001, part of a $1.5 million grant from the FDA’s Orphan Products Clinical Trials Grants Program.

For Timber’s complete financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, see the Company’s Quarterly Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 12, 2022.
